    Movie about Sports betting - Al pacino
    Releasing oct 7th.

    starring
    Al Pacino, Matthew McConaughey, Rene Russo


    hopefully it will be pretty good

    its called "two for the money"

    Storyline
    Brandon Lane is a former college football star whose uncanny ability to predict the outcome of a game introduces him to an unexpected new career when his gridiron glory is sidelined by a crushing injury. Brandon's talent makes him a prime candidate for recruitment by Walter Abraham, the head of one of the biggest sports consulting operations in the country. Walter hires the small town ex-athlete and grooms him into a shrewd front man. Brandon soon begins to enjoy his status as a Manhattan golden boy and finds himself growing comfortable with Walter's high-rolling lifestyle. The surrogate father/surrogate son relationship fattens Walter's business and personal accounts...until Brandon's golden touch begins to falter at the same time that Walter's manipulation of his protege crosses the line. With millions of dollars on the line, Brandon and Walter engage in a deadly game of con versus con, each one trying to maintain the upper hand while everyone in their world, including Walter's wife, Toni, is drawn into the escalating duel.

        A lot of times when Hollywood tries to present gambling for public consumption, there is a large cheese factor and it seems very square to actual gamblers. I end up sitting there saying, "Oh come on, a real gambler would never do that,'' or, "That would never happen.

        But sometimes they get it right. Hopefully this will be one of those times.

                        Man 2-18 is really, really hard to do. It actually takes real talent!!

                          It was embarassing, in the end the two hosts of the show felt really sorry for him and he went from picking one game per-week to three or four and it was still dismal.

                            Whoever gave the greenlight to this horrible movie should be dragged out in to the street and stoned to death.

                            The only thing this shitty movie accomplished was help kickstart Lang's tout career. He has cost his clients over 5000 Dimes in the past 2 years. So if your bankroll is $10,000, he helped you lose $500,000.
