Revell’s strategy for the bet was simple – he chose to put all of his money on a single number, the red 7. He placed a $135,300 bet on red and the ball landed on red 7, winning him a total of $270,600.
The lucky winner was Ashley Revell, a 32-year-old British man who bet his entire life savings on a single spin of the roulette wheel. The biggest roulette win ever recorded in the history of the game was won in Las Vegas in 2003.
