    Just watched "Lucky Girl". Not a bad flick, especially since Elisha Cuthbert is the starring actress.

    love how 75% of these aren't on netflix STREAMING

    I meant Netflix streaming!!!

    Great suggestions though, I'm tempted to upgrade my membership to ordering movies via mail so I can see some of these recommendations...

    A lot of "Owning Mahoney" recs as well as "Two for the Money"

    I assume you are talking about Even money since it had a 5.9.

    I liked the movie a lot and I have seen every movie mentioned ITT. I was surprised it was completely ignored with a real good story and the best cast by far in a gambling movie.

    No one has mentioned the classic degen movie " the deli" . One of the best endings in a gambling movie ever

    Owning mahoney is the real deal and actually based on a true story.

    People hating on two for the money because its the "brandon lang story". But from a straight fictional sports betting movie, its a solid flick. It's not like many of these movies are oscar winners and most (but not all) gambling movies seem to be the equalavent of 80s cheese horror movies for degenerates.

    "The Odds" was pretty good.

    I watched Lucky Girl, Player 5150, Double Down, and a few others recently. All perfect movies for guys on this fourm.

    Sorry guys, I dont much information here.....but I remember watching an interesting movie about an Ivy League Basketball Player. The player got involved heavily in drugs and a gambling ring. I can't remember the name, but I watched it may 6 or 7 years ago. I want to say the player from Harvard, but I could be wrong.

    Does anyone know what Im talking about?

    I know which one youre talking about, with the guy from entourage...wasn't so much a gambling movie but has that whole point shaving storyline, a movie about the mob, drugs, and point shaving in the Ivy League. Definitely one for degenerates. Ray Allen is also in it


    Edit- I imdb'd it...it's called Harvard Man.
