In 2004, Ashley Revell sold everything he owned, including his home and car, to gamble his life savings on a single roulette spin in Las Vegas. The heart-stopping moment was filmed for a reality TV show, with viewers urging him to bet on black. Revell doubled his prize fund and walked away with £153,680 ($270,600).

After the gamble, Revell set up a company called Poker UTD, which folded, and spent the rest of his funds on a motorbike ride across Europe. He eventually met his wife and started a URL shortening service.
