Ashley Revell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ashley Revell (born 1972) is a London resident who briefly achieved fame for selling all his possessions (including all his clothes) and gambling US$135,300 on a single spin of a roulette wheel in Las Vegas, Nevada. He even changed his name by deed poll to Ashley "Blue Square" Revell after the UK online bookmaker contributed to his gambling fund.
Revell won his bet (on "Red"; the result was "7 Red") and left with double his money. The event was filmed by Sky One as a reality mini-series. Ashley used his winnings to set up his own online poker company called POKER UNITED
[edit] Mentioned in fiction
An episode of the TV series Las Vegas entitled One Nation, Under Surveillance, first broadcast 2005-03-14 had a character and event loosely based on Ashley Revell.
