Hit It Big

Man Bets Life Savings, Wins $270,600

While on principle I have issues with gambling and don't take part in it, I have to admit there's a certain appeal to the idea of betting everything on red and knowing you have a 50-50 shot of walking away with twice what you had to begin with.

There's also a certain appeal in having $135,000 in possessions to liquidate. Something tells me my car and CDs would fetch a bit less than that.
