    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.

    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.

    Owning Mahoney made me sick to my stomach. I was practically yelling at the guy to quit, when he almost won all of his money back.

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