Aside from the possibility that they faked this, wouldn't he get railed by taxes for something of this size before even being able to leave the casino?

It's probably true, I remember reading about this in the news several months ago. Don't know about the tax angle.

I've seen an 1 hour docu about this, pretty interesting, and def not faked.

[stigmata]

only posted for about the millionth time.... pretty sure this was a british guy so tax no probs.

I heard about this a couple of years ago but I didn't know there was a video! That was pretty sweet. If this guy was a 2+2er he would be the BBV g0d I'm sure.

wtf how do people not know about this yet. it was all over the news like a year ago and made into like a tv special britain

It's Ashley Revell, a resident of London. The win is therefore tax free.

Not as impressive as the guy that bet $777,000 at the Craps table in Binion's casino in Vegas. As I recall, he won the bet, and spent several days at one of Binion's ranches being a semi-celebrity.

Later, he took other shots at the casino, then he bet an even million dollars. This time he was not as lucky - lost the mill, then soon thereafter killed himself.

This article is awesome.

Australian billionaire was once at a table with some rich, loud, obnoxious Texan:

Finally, Kerry asks the man to ease up. The man gets louder: "Do you know who I am? I am worth 60 million dollars, pardner!" He pauses to let this sink in, then says: "Sixty million dollars, pardner. That's what I'm worth." Packer eyes him and says: "I'll flip you for it!".


So awesome.
