guy bet his life savings on 1 roulette spin

Balls of steel. easy double up. Hope he walked after that lol

Another similar story. In 1999 Bill Morgan, Aus, was asked toreenact his recent lottery win for TV and ended up winning again on camera

$4,000,000 lost

LET IT RIDEE!!!

He went all out without even thinking twice.

When this is discussed people always talk about it as being roughly a 50% chance of doubling and a 50% chance of losing everything (yes, I am ignoring 0 for simplicity). But that entirely ignores taxes. If you lose, you lose everything, but if you win you don't double, you gain approximately 40% more money *after* tax. So you're gambling roughly 50/50 with the outcome being -100% or +40%. Seems a lot less tempting when you view it through that lens. And that ignores that the odds aren't 50/50, the house has an edge due to 0.
