New Sports Gambling Movie: Lay the Favorite (with Bruce Willis)

[Justin7]

The book was decent. I think I sat next to the author for several hours on a plane to Curacao back in 2004. Yes, she was a hottie (as you would expect if you read the book).

Two for the money = greatest gambling movie ever

you beat me two it. a lame one was that 21 with kevin spacey.

I would say top 10 not greatest

You're all banned.

[CanuckG]

Why Two for the money is not #1

[rjt721]

Because that movie penetrating sucked.

[rjt721]

I can't say fvcking?

What the fuk

[Sunde91]

sucks so bad they showed it at Sundance film festival January 2012 and didn't get into theaters til December 2012. Nice eye for talent iwin

[CanuckG]

Because that movie penetrating sucked.

I know I said it wasn't the best one

[CanuckG]

Classic script Girl in the movie brings luck then the wife of the gambler hates the girl she gets fired blah blah and then the gambler starts losing so he brings her back for good luck then she gets promoted blah blah blah biggest bet of his life on New Jersey wins with 2 free throws with 0 seconds left end of movie. Love how its a 2012 film and they're showing races and sporting events from the fukkin 1980s

[Iwinyourmoney]

Just watched.

90% of movie SUCKED

10% real cool, gambling and Feds.

Overall though.....fukin pass

[NYSportsGuy210]

This movie was funny as hell. The chick is a terrible actor though.....bet she would be great in Vivid video though.

[Domestic]

Looks absolutely cringe-worthy.

[brumbies]

who the hell is dink?? another tout??

Met her also. Watched a spring training game with her and Dink.

And no Dink is not a tout Brumbies. Furthest thing from it and a great guy. He is just a bettor like the rest of us and is exceptionally good in hockey.

The story is hers not his. He had no say in any embellishment or anything written.

And she is a cutie in real life with a bubbly personality. Agreed there Justin.

im pretty sure its the same dink, that fezzik is always critisizing. he actually posts across the street. have to get more info on this to confirm.

[zoo youk]

confirmed it is the same dink that post across the street. amazing.

[kmarinouofm]

movie wasn't bad.. watched it last night.. it could have been better.. but its a good one to watch with a chick..

[TheLock]

Vince Vaughn is in it. It won't be awful.

[CanuckG]

Vince Vaughn is in it. It won't be awful.

He was awful in it.

[TheLock]

Ugh. Sucks. I was really looking forward to this flick.

[Trident]

At one time Bruce Willis was a degenerate sports bettor, he played offshore and in Vegas.

[The Prick]

this is the dude willis plays in the movie:

he forgot more about sports bettin than you squares will ever know.


pretty sure that loshak tweaker did a interview with the chick that wrote it but aint gonna waste all day tryin to find it.

[PaperTrail07]

classic wig

[CanuckG]

Heard that dink guy on the eog radio outta las vegas

[Vaughany]

Apparently it is dog shiiiiit! As the review said "Dont bet on it being any good"!

[GunShard]

Might watch it out of curiosity.

I just downloaded it for free.

JJ gold would probably like this movie, since Bruce Willis rages like him, lol.

[bradthebloke]

damn that f'n actress sucked!

[xbalto]

book was awesome. some overlap in characters with the tim donaghy book.

[JMobile]

Two for the money = greatest gambling movie ever

How bout this one?

[vikingfan101]

As mentioned previously, Two for the Money is an excellent movie.

This .. looks like complete crap.

[TheCentaur]

I just watched it and thought it was entertaining. About 21x better than "21", fuk that movie.

I was really dissapointed that Rebecca Hall didn't show some T or A, but you guys saying she was horrible in it I disagree. She's supposed to play kind of a ditz from Florida and I thought she pulled it off.

There were some shortcuts that bothered me in the storyline, like how she went from working for him for a day and then she was in love with him all of a sudden, or what was going on in Dink and his wife's past, or how the hell the wife went from hating the girl to wanting to help her out after a conversation with Dink (no penetrating way)

I just paid $10 for it on demand though so what do I know

[darkhat]

yah looks pretty bad

But at least its a gambling movie

there should be more

All of them seem to be fukkin garbage

[darkhat]

Rounders is the best gambling movie

Too bad they aren't betting on sports

[ThaWoj]

Ya cant wait for rounders 2.

Let it ride is a great classic for horse racing fans

[Soxsfan9]

Trailer looks like shit, book wasn't bad.

[vikingfan101]

Got around to watching it, pretty terrible.
