All or nothing
Ashley Revell went to Las Vegas in 2004 with what she had. Revell had sold all his $135,000 worth of stuff and decided to play it to roulette . Revell is a professional player from Kent County. At the Plaza Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas he bet everything on the red.
The event was a sensation. People were piling up behind the Briton to see the result. When the dealer rolled the ball, Revell moved all his chips into the red square. The room fell silent for an instant until a shout of exultation broke the silence. The ball had landed on the red 2, which meant that not only had he not lost, but he had doubled his earnings . Revell gave the dealer a $600 tip and turned to England to start a poker website that didn't work. However, he is still involved in the world of betting.
Bet a pair of breasts
What some people do for money. What do you bet that...? Brian Zembic, a Canadian professional gambler and magician, bet $100,000 that he would implant a pair of breasts. Zembic was known in the nineties of the last century for his high-risk bets; he was something like the man who was willing to do anything to win a bet .
His favorite games were blackjack and backgammon. The breasts bet came up after a casual conversation. Zembic was of the opinion that getting implants was no big deal. His friend, another professional gambler, then proposed the bet to him. The thing didn't go much further for a while. Until Zembic lost quite a bit of money in the stock market and he decided to play with her breasts to cover his losses . He found in plastic surgeon willing to gamble the cost of the operation to backgammon. Zembic won. She had her breasts implanted and the operation was free. Although, as agreed in the bet, Zembic only had to have the breasts for one year, 20 years later she was still with them. It seems that they did not bother him and he had got used to them.
You bet your name and... you lose it
This happened to an individual in New Zealand in 2010. The bet on poker it consisted of playing the name. It's not that our mothers have always been right with the name they give us, but to change the insipid John to "Full Metal Spock More Sexy N Intelligent Than Spock And All The Superheroes Combined With Frostnova” it seems like a bad joke . Well, the aforementioned lost the bet and had to start the legal procedures to change his name. In addition to the absurdity, it is surely not very pleasant to have to fill out forms with such a long alias.
What if you bet on your wife?
Poker plays it to you more often than you might think. Andrei Karpov, from Murmansk in the Russian Arctic, he ran out of money during a poker game and decided to play his wife . His opponent Sergey Brodov did not think such a bad idea. Karpov lost poker and also his wife, who was quite offended to have been treated in such a way. And no wonder. She decided to divorce Karpov and got into an affair with Brodov. He's said he doesn't regret doing it, Karpov sure does. Anyway, we are not sure if Brodov and Karpov's ex-wife had already planned everything in advance.
Ears, tattoos... and other crazy bets
Brian Zembic bet on a pair of breasts and it seems that he liked them in the end. Others are able to cut off an ear or tattoo something on their buttocks. Two Russians bet an ear on the pulse, whoever lost would cut it off . But since there is no pulse without a rematch, in the end they were tied and both cut off an ear. Getting a tattoo is more common, although it depends on what you get tattooed and where, because there are quite ridiculous.
The leader of a Spanish rock band promised getting David Hasselhoff's face tattooed , the actor who became famous with KITT the Fantastic Car, on a buttock if he made it to the finals of a music contest. He lost the bet and now he's walking around with ”The Hoff" tattooed on his ass.
Will Hirons, tennis fan, he bet he would get a tattoo of Scotland's Andy Murray on his left buttock if he won Wimbledon that year . In 2013 Murray was one of the best players on the circuit. He had reached the final of the Australian Open and had been Olympic gold in 2012. Despite being one of the favorites, Wimbledon is owned by another bag. No Briton had won for 77 years. Well, Murray won in 2013, and he won again in 2016; so Hirons had no choice but to fulfill what was promised.
