In England, professional poker player Jake Cody worked his way through a high-roller tournament and walked away with about $60,000 in prize money.
But instead of taking that money to the bank or investing it in stocks and bonds, Jake walked directly to the roulette wheel and put the whole jackpot on black.
He won, as the ball fell on black-22.
Not surprisingly, a big crowd that had gathered to watch the gutsy move burst into applause.
Jake -- wisely? -- stopped there and left the casino with a cool 120-grand. (High Stakes Database)
