            Let it ride-Before offshore if you did any serious gambling you would have met everyone of the characters portrayed in that movie

                          They need to make a good movie about sports betting. Something a little better than that shitty movie "bookies"

                          I'm reading a book now called Wizard of odds about Jack Molinas, pretty good book about gambling and fixing games. Brilliant guy.

                                        I watched Casino early this Summer on Starz or Encore... and it was by far the best "all around" gambling movie I ever saw.

                                          The Cooler is a good one.


                                          What's the old school movie with Henry Fonda playing poker? They're running a scam on someone...I think. I saw it once on tv a long time ago, never caught the name.


                                          Edit: It's called 'A big hand for the little lady'. From what I remember it was a good one.

                                                  NOBODY said THE COLOR OF MONEY?????

                                                  damn thats a great movie..... its more insightful about poker than rounders.... some of you may say no... but Fast Eddie Felson laid the blueprint for poker in that movie..... yea i love Rounders, but Damon talks it out, Newman does it

                                                      The Sting was pretty good not really a gambling movie but there was gambling in it. The best part was the poker game on the train.

                                                                    damn thats a great movie..... its more insightful about poker than rounders.... some of you may say no... but Fast Eddie Felson laid the blueprint for poker in that movie..... yea i love Rounders, but Damon talks it out, Newman does it

                                                                    Movie has nothing to do with poker. It's about hustling pool games.
