Man to bet all on Vegas roulette spin
A British man who has sold all his possessions, including his clothes, will stand in a rented tuxedo on Sunday and bet everything on a single spin of the roulette wheel.

4. What is it about Brits and bets?
This reminds me of those two British guys who divested themselves of everything and (flat broke) decided to race each other around the world.

Whoever won got a beer.
