    Are there any films about sports betting besides two for the money?

    especially basketball related, anyone?

    Sports betting is too shady and degenerate. Needs drama

    Let it Ride is the best movie to sum up a degenerate gambler.
    Of course in the movie they have to have him win the last bet, but in reality degens always blow it all.

    2 for the money would have been better if they didn't use Mccaughney because he was terrible.
    Pacino was great and showed he had gambling experience. It sucked having one guy play a part so well and the other one fukk it up so bad to ruin it. I was really upset that PAcino let that happen with this film because without Mccaughney it coulda been an all-time great.

    The problem with these movies is casting. You have to find actors who have experience in gambling.

    THE BEST gambling movie of all-time is ROUNDERS.
    It sucks that you had to listen to every non playing poker flame quote this movie for the last 10 years because before poker exploded and no one knew what this movie was, it was simply awesome.
    Ed Norton and MAtt Damon played poker for 6 months before making the movie.
    The movie sums up realistic rounding in NY back then, and also how easy money was in poker at the time. It has a degenerate and a sharp, but they intertwine perfectly.
    This really was my favorite movie before poker playing fukkks killed it and made it annoying.

    I thought Double Down (also called Zigs) was a funny movie.

    I saw it on Netflix earlier this year.

    Lay the favorite was not only the worst gambling movie that I have ever seen, but one of the worst movies. The best part of that movie was Laura Prepon topless.

    This is probably the most underrated. This movie is very very funny.
