Words About Things

If you ever watch television then it can’t have escaped your notice that you can now play bingo online. There must be quite a crossover between people who watch Coronation Street and those likely to play bingo. Each ad break seems to feature at least one ad for online bingo. The stereotypical Coronation street watcher and bingo player would be a middle aged housewife I guess. Seeing as I am neither middle aged or female I have never played Bingo. The fact that Coronation street is actually one of the funniest programs on TV got me wondering if other things I had dismissed were also worth a try.

I’m acually more of a fan of sport betting (in particular football betting) but my predictions for last weekends Arsenal match were way off target so perhaps I should look for other ways to battle the odds. Online poker is fun but quite complex so perhaps I will have to give in a try online bingo.

I came across an interesting story recently on a betting blog called LoadedDice. The star of the story is a man called Ashley Revell, a man who is either very brave or very stupid (it’s often a fine line). Mr Revell had always liked gambling being a fan of online poker and online casinos. One day he decided to try his luck at a real casino in Las Vegas. Nothing unusual there until you take into account that he put his entire life savings on one spin ouf the roulette wheel. Having sold everything he owned except his best suit Mr Revell got on a plane to Las Vegas.

The story could go one of two ways. Ashley Revell could go down in history as a very unlucky man who lost everything or as someone who took on the casino and won. Luckily he didn’t play online roulette so the results where filmed for all to see. Revell planned to set up his own online gambling business if he won. I wont ruin the surprise for you…here is the video:
