It’s Even Money for Sports Betting Flicks

I’m a punter – plain and simple. I like to play, I like to win and I enjoy being fiercely competitive. I also keep my ear close to the ground, follow the news and stats closely and seek out the best odds and money lines from a range of quality online sportsbooks. But there’s another part to me – the one that simply loves to get enrapt in the riveting action that only Hollywood superstars are able to pull off. Join me as together we uncover an absolute oyster in Even Money. This flick is everything I’ve ever dreamed of in a sports betting flick. And what I like even more about it, is that it’s highly underrated and is worth a mint in entertainment pleasure. It stars some of the industry’s biggest names in Forrest Whitaker, Kim Basinger, Danny De Vito, Kelsey Grammer, Nick Cannon and Ray Liotta. While the movie has garnered some 2,700 votes and an average rating of 6/10, it’s well-worth its 113 minutes screen time.

What’s it all about?

There are 4 college buddies who decide to become small-time bookmakers. These fellas set about building a small empire of punters – based on their very different and unique skill sets. They make use of hi-tech computer wizardry and take bet after bet as they cash in on sports betting. But all is not well in Wonderland because these small-time bookies soon find themselves encroaching into the world of organized crime territory where feared mobsters are running the show. It’s a game of new vs. old and the clash of characters is jarring and at times 100% fearsome. There are tales of absolute heartbreak in the film as character’s lives are torn apart by gambling. And with a bloody murder trail to follow, Detective Brunner is the one who pieces it all together.

Even Money is a superb sportsbetting flick and it features prominently on movie goers favourites. This film is a tribute to the acting genius of its stars and its director Mark Rydell. In spite of the film’s negligible box-office takings of $112,000 – it’s a whole lot better than the numbers indicate. Perhaps a money line bet on this flick should have been made?
