In summary, a man bet on red in a roulette game and won, doubling his money and also receiving a large paycheck from Sky. Some see this as a scam to attract viewers, but others find it entertaining and even suggest having a convention in Vegas.

what they fail to mention is that even if he lost everything, Sky would have given him a fat paycheck... now he has double his money AND Sky's money... it's just a scam to get viewers.

I say this only for the sake of comedy, and I'm sure you'd all agree; this man's balls were in his stomach for 10 seconds as that roulette marble was spinning. Holy crap...

I love Vegas. I think we should have a PF convention there.
