крутани рулетку и удвой ставку
я тут немного опаздал, зато есть неплохое обяснение для like a bat out of hell-> Жми на газ и не думай ни очем. Можно еще подумать:)
Alternatively, and truthfully - the expression 'like a bat out of hell' has been in common UK-English usage for decades meaning to fly, usually figuratively. Since Jacobean times at least, bats have been associated with witches and the occult - and therefore thought to originate in the bowels of hell - as they fly and fly quickly as if in panic - to make the comparison with a bat flying out of hell for anything going recklessly fast would seem quite natural and likely to be a country idiom prior to being recorded in print. The problem with origins of this sort is that country expressions would often be ignored as those who had education and could write would often prefer to use 'educated' words of l@tinate or classic origin as opposed to seeming country bumpkins.

Hit the wheel and double the stakes
ie 'krutani ruletku i udvoj stavki'
V> throttle wide open like a bat out of hell
means, 'throttle of some speedster is wide and black - means the car can rally move fast - as a hell's bat wide-opened mouth'
Then, you can make it sound poetic.

'Bat out of hell' means 'very fast'. 'Double the stakes' means 'take more risk'... 'Throttle wide open' means push the accelerator as fast as possible. 'Hit the wheel' probably means 'steering aggressively or causing the vehicle to spin by sudden movements of a steering wheel'.
