It still doesn?t. Though he was discouraged from going forward with this seemingly crazy plan by his family and friends, he proceeded. To raise money, he sold just about everything he had, including his home, some of his clothes and his car. In all, he raised $135,300 and bet it all on Red at the Plaza Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. His gamble paid off big. The ball landed on Red 7. Revell won $270,600, tipped the croupier $600 and left. However, he wouldn?t be able to stay away from the casino for good. Since his big win, he has decided to become a professional poker player.
