Good note Foxx!
We shot the flip side of that sequence with her moving through accounts, but dropped it in the edit - leaving the focus on her.

What year were they showing that she was doing the online sportsbetting? Seemed like sometime in the early 2000's?

We combined a few elements of mid 2000's with a little early 2010's and ran it up to modern day. There's a few nods to those early debit card deposit days - LOL.

What other gambling forums do you guys visit?
Would love to share this around as much as possible!

Watched. Very enjoyable. Visuals were shot well, didn't feel low budget, which is a plus for a short. (liked the 360 at the dog track). Editing was decent. Thats what makes or breaks most short films. Just my two scenes.
Wondering if you have you put it in any film festivals?

Thanks for the feedback! That 360 at the track took about 10 races - LOL.
We did the festival thing for about 8 months. But, with every festival going virtual it kind of kills the fun. Networking is the most important part.

Well done. Actually hit a nerve by bringing back memories of my buddy who lost everything, including his life. RIP Little V

I enjoyed the whole thing with the exception of the ending. Did the dad leave the winning ticket on Country House behind for his daughter after he died? Wasn't clear.

Does anyone on here have access to post on r/sportsbetting?

texhooper · 02-18-21, 11:50 PM

Just watched it. I love anything like this so I’m probably not a good gauge but I really enjoyed it.

I was also at the game from the beginning, Memphis and Ole Miss from 2015. Crazy that you picked that game

Awesome! At the time, that was my biggest bet I had ever made. Thanks for watching!

I watched. It was solid. Seemed a little off that she could blow 10k out a of 20k bankroll on an online slot when supposedly she had her money spread out amongst a lot of outs and not half her bankroll in one out. That part seemed odd to me, unless she bounced from the online casino at one out to another chasing her losses.

Easy to blow money if you chase losses I have ran 3k into 130 and I have also lost 50+ k in a day it becomes a numbers thing if your wild enough. I enjoyed the film tho bravo to yah
