Ashley Revell of London had a mad itch he needed to scratch.

The year was 2004. The initial tickle came from a casual drinking conversation with a friend. Revell couldn’t let it go.

The idea, in short, required Revell to liquidate all his possessions, travel to Las Vegas, and ‘bet it all’ on one spin of the roulette wheel. The idea was sheer lunacy. Yet Revell was just crazy enough to go through with it.
