Famous Roulette Wins and Losses

Charles Wells was one of these players and managed to reportedly win nearly one million francs at Monte Carlo during 1922!

Ashley Revell is another high roller who has experienced outstanding success at the roulette table. In 2004, he sold everything he owned and placed it all on red at Plaza Hotel and Casino – winning $270,600 as a result!

Sean Connery

Albert Broccoli and Harry Saltzman found an ideal candidate to fill the iconic Bond role during its heyday in the early 60s: Thomas Sean Connery was chosen. A working-class boy known for working as a milkman, bricklayer, steel bender before winning bronze at Mr Universe contest before landing role as South Pacific actor – Connery took to acting like it was second nature; his hardscrabble roots shined through through his cultured facade to add depth and danger to his role as James Bond.

Connery himself enjoyed gambling. In fact, he once made headlines with an astounding roulette win while filming Never Say Never Again at a casino in the Alps – betting straight on number 17 to win big was no fluke and proved that success at roulette requires more than blind luck – it requires careful strategy!

Ashley Revell made headlines for his life-altering roulette win in 2004, when he sold everything he owned and bet all of his savings of $135,300 on red in an all-or-nothing bet at the Plaza Hotel & Casino in New York. His daring gamble paid off and he won $270,600 – prompting media attention that led to him opening an online poker business based around red. Like Chris Boyd before him, Revell is now considered an iconic roulette winner.

Joseph Jagger

Imagine an impoverished mill worker from Bradford beating Monte Carlo casino! In 1881 that is exactly what happened. Joseph Jagger (ancestor of Mick Jagger from Rolling Stones) was an inventive mechanical engineer who found a way to exploit a flaw in one of the casino wheels to win big!

His theory was that, since no wheel could spin perfectly, certain numbers would more frequently appear than others. So, he spent days and nights studying the outcomes of numerous roulette spins before discovering a pattern in their results.

Over the next several weeks he made a fortune betting red 32 and attracted the attention of casino surveillance staff who attempted to understand his strategy. Despite attempts such as flirty women or spilled drinks at disrupting his play, he kept winning big! Eventually his casino bosses realized there might be something happening and got rid of his favourite wheel.

Sir Philip Green

British billionaire Philip Green is best known for his retail empire, but he also excels at roulette. In 2004, when visiting London’s Les Ambassadeurs casino he placed high-stakes bets that netted him over two million pounds in one night – sparking profit warnings at the casino and making investors nervous.

Green’s success wasn’t an accident either; he learned to play roulette as a teenager and developed his skill by betting red. Like Chris Boyd, Green also studied the wheel’s design flaws to exploit them to win big.

Green has not had an easy path. He’s been accused of sexual harassment and paying employees to remain quiet about him; one senior female employee reportedly received PS1m to sign a gagging order but Green denied any wrongdoing. With his bold personality and penchant for risk-taking, Green makes for an interesting character study as one of history’s great roulette winners – an interview was even conducted between himself and Tina Green herself! This book chronicles their story together.
