About 10 or 12 years ago, I asked my girl to pick it up at the video store. I had not seen it since 1975. She comes back with that ****in Kenny Rogers movie. I wanted to smack her.

I haven't seen this movie in ages. Is one of the movie channels playing it this month?

My favorite part is when he loses a laker bet with two missed free throws at the end of the game. Must see for anyone serious about sports wagering.

3 missed free throws

$50,000 was on that game and the bookie even warned him all the wise guys were on Seattle (line was @ a PK).

[thezbar]

Its been a while since I have seen it. Three free throws missed by Jerry West?

Correct, then Seattle came back with 1 second left and hit the game winner.

Movie is probably the most gritty and realistic films about gambling. James Caan is and always will be one of the best actors in regards to gambling/mafia films or TV shows.
