This *already happened*.What this guy is doing is not that new.Several years ago, a man showed up in a Vegas casino with a suitcase full of cash. He bet it all on *one* roll of the roulette wheel.And WON.I don't have any of the details. I do recall that within the past five years I was reading a book and was surprised to find this story given some detail in it.

What a dope this guy is betting his whole stake on a bet that house a house edge over five percent. I hope zero or double zero shows up. A hand of blackjack, banker in baccarat, or dont pass in craps are the way to go if he wanted to do this. Wish I was in Canada to buy some super sevens, hopefully it rolls over to next week
