guys. I have found the best gambling flick ever. Why's it good? It's realistic. Not some crappy Hollywood done up thing. Reminds me of rounders, but of sports betting. Watch it..... It mite wake u up.

Gambling movies in general suck. They only serve to reinforce negative stereotypes about gambling and are usually full of inaccuracies.

i watched it and i'm sorry but it was not good nor did it involve a lot of actual gambling in the same way i expected. i thought it would involve as much gambling in the way poker was in rounders. sorry to say i thought it was horrible.
Spoiler:
i think he makes 4 bets in the beginning and it shows 1 actual score from the plays. it was more about getting beat up because of not paying debts and federal investigation. the character development was mostly poor, and the storyline was kind of weak. in terms of realism, it has a guy who makes big plays with a bookie that breaks fingers and burns people when they don't pay, a car explosion, breaking entering and spray painting a house, and a driveby shooting.
