    Two for the Money

    Watched this movie for the first time the other day. Is this really Brandon Lang's life story, or just a fictional account where they just happened to use his name?

    Worst gambling movie ever made. Totally unwatchable
    You want to watch a real gambling movie then Rounders all the way. For a good laugh I love Let It Ride also.

    It was a typical cliche film. Start out hot and hit a 80% clip. Cool off and there is chaos. And then hit that last all in play and ride off in the sunset.

    I have adopted several of his strategies in my handicapping. Newspaper, coin flipping, team colors, cheerleaders etc. Turned what was a just hobby into a lifestyle.

    The only thing accurate in this picture is Brandon Lang throws fkn darts and gets lucky once in a while. Like every other tout.

    I watched it the other day... I'd give it a 7 out of 10. As a gambler you can relate. Especially when wagering high dollar amounts.

    The scene where he gets peed on in the park is one of the best scenes in the history of film.
