19:17 mark Louis asks him "Have you been having a wonderful time?" just after the guys says he's down 24k.

Louis had probably never gamble in his life.Still though youd think hed have abit more common sense,a guy loses 24K what the hell do you think.

Just got done watching "Let It Ride". Always one of my sentimental favorites. Everyone deserves to have a day like Richard Dreyfuss did in that movie.

slapstick comedy that wasn't that funny. dreyfuss miscast in this. no realism at all. james caan's "the gambler" was better than this unwatchable fare.

It's a guilty pleasure. I didn't say it was an Academy award winning flick. Who can argue with looking at Jennifer Tilly when she was in her early 30's? God she was hot. I love her description of her legs at 1:45.

I actually liked the movie, found it entertaining while Lay the Favorite was truly unwatchable.

watch reruns of Moneytalks where rich idiots actually give Stevens 50% of their winnings when they win with his picks and he loses nothing when they lose

two for the money, 21, hardball. cant really think of others. Hardball isnt focused around gambling but the plot is. Decent movie none the less.

I don't know why I watched hardball, but I did, and damned if that thing didn't turn into a tearjerker! Totally out of left field, no pun intended

If you didn`t enjoy "LET IT RIDE" as lighthearted entertainment, your expectations were way out of whack.

I catch it every couple years. Good comedies are hard to find.

Lol this is awesome. Apparently the key to winning is doubling up all the time, who would have known it was that easy!

Rounders is the best gambling movie. There are no miracles at the end, when the hero gets the one card in the deck on the river that will save him. You know that scene, where the hero plays like a donk but gets lucky because the plot says it's the end of the movie and he needs to win.

In the climactic moment, the hero (Matt Damon) flops the nut straight and checks it down. He outplays his opponent. He had the nicest hand on the flop, turn and river, he set the trap, and his opponent walked right into it.
