Most people don't like "Two for the money" But it's the best there is regarding sports betting as far as I am concerned. I have watched it about 20 times. I love it. So many great quotes in that flick.

Dude, it's gotta be "two for the money". I mean who don't like watching brandon lang get pissed on in the face and a gun pointed to his head.. Great shit!!!! And whether he's down -460 dimes this year he's still makes money cause he doesn't bet his own picks.

I can't believe I have not seen Fever Pitch. At first I thought you meant this as a gambling flick and then I read the comedy only part of your post.

Owning Mahowny is one the best movies I've ever seen, and the best that shows gambling addiction and how it happens to a regular guy with a regular job, great movie, and great book also
