    Good Gambling Moves On Netflix

    Anyone know of any good gambling movies/documentaries on NetFlix?

    I've seen Rounders and Holy Rollers and Dateline Murder in Vegas (i know thats not about gambling but being in vegas i still had to watch it).

    Movie called "Croupier" with Clive Owen on there: "A would-be writer lands a job as a croupier to make ends meet. But when he becomes involved with a gambler, he is lured into taking part in a heist."

    Haven't seen it.

    Even Money (2006) - IMDb

    Ray Liotta
    Kim Basinger
    Forest Whitaker
    Kelsey Grammar
    Danny Devito
    Carla Gugino
    Nick Cannon
    Charles Robinson
    Jay Mohr
    Tim Roth

    Never understood why this movie did absolutely nothing. Sick sick cast, maybe best ever of a gambling movie. It was very similar to owning mahoney in respect to the desperate reality of degenerate gamblers.
