Would you risk everything you own including the clothes off your back for those chances? Didn't think so.

No, but the odds are 50/50. Its just as likely he win as lose, so thats nothing remarkable. This is not surprising. I also agree with "so what". But also, good for him.

Huh, I thought they were red/black and if you just bet on black it was 50/50 shot you'd get it. I don't gamble though, so I guess I should take a look at a roulette wheel.

I thought he was going to bet on a number and actuall ymake it interesting. He had a 50-50 chance (except for the 2 green slots) and got it. No big deal there.
