Best Gambling Scene In A Movie🍿

[BrickJames]

That's a fantastic movie with fantastic gambling scenes because they don't rely on the typical Hollywood cliché where the hero wins in the end because he gets that one card he needed on the river to complete his straight flush to beat the other guy's 4 of a kind or some other such nonsense.

It is very believable. In the beginning Mike loses when Teddy KGB turns his top set into aces-full to beat Mike's 9-full. Mike was losing the whole way and got outplayed, he didn't lose because a miracle killer card fell on the river.

Similarly, during the movie's final scene, Mike flops the nut straight. The turn and river were blanks. It was not a situation where Mike was losing the hand and hoping for that one card he needed which, in true Hollywood fashion, he would get on the river.

The huge plot hole is that they are going to kill him if he doesn't come up with the 15 G's, doesn't sound like the best business model for people in the bookmaking / loan sharking business.

Mr.Lucky. 1940 something.
Cary Grant plays a "Boss" gambler.
Poker Dice scene to see who gets a dead guys "4F" and stays out of the draft.
Good flick.

I saw the remake with Mark untalented Wahlberg so I'm sure this will be automatically better. Sonny Corleone is a legend

That Wahlberg version was such a piece of crap ... I don't know how they could screw it up so bad ... the makers of the remake must not, themselves, gamble. And did they ever see the original? Awesome. And Lauren Hutton -- SO hot!

[FADER5]

believe pre-godfather, been a long time don't remember for sure and much better than the remake

Post Godfather by a couple years, but about the same time as Godfather 2 ... AWESOME flick ... I don't understand why the remake was so bad: https://www.thepiratebay.org/torrent/5935407/[Classic_Movie]_The_Gambler_(1974)_(PeRfEcTo)_.avi

Having a brain freeze but there that one movie where the group has a guy who like the ultimate jinx and he knows kid who gonna make his 1st start pitching (for Angels I think, not 100%). Anyways the jinx bumps into the kid getting ready to make his 1st start and thinks he sells him on throwing the game. Kid of course goes on to pitch like a perfect game, the jinx and one other guys in group are miserable but guys who put the bet in faded and they won.. great scene, hoping I describe it well enough one of you guys will remember/know what I'm talking bout and post the movie!!

It’s called Double Down. I remember it perfectly lol. Meets up with the guy at the bar and they went to high school together goes through this whole spill only for his boys to have put everything on the guy instead of fading him.

[biggie12]

still number 1 scene for degen sports gambler.

[hehfest]

Probably different scenes from "The Natural" if not already mentioned. Also, probably the best sports movie ever....

[odog11]

Probably already been referenced, but hard to be "to the Queen."
