2004 - A Crazy Year for Roulette Bets

In 2004 Roulette made the headlines with two memorable betting stories.

The first involves the daring Ashley Revell, who sold all his possessions to chance his luck on the Roulette Wheel. He arrived at the Plaza Hotel, Las Vegas, with $135,000 and left with double the amount! The lucky punter won a double-or-nothing bet on a ‘Red 7’ and undoubtedly breathed a massive sigh of relief, before ordering champagne all round!

A more scandalous headline in 2004 revolved around a threesome who won over one million pounds sterling. The casino claimed the group had used cell phones and lasers in order to predict where the roulette ball would land. Although they took the case to court, they were unable to find enough proof and the three punters kept the lot.
