I played the undergound casinos back in college just like The Gambler. But I didn;t have the thousand, just “a few’ to get in. I never played the roulette because it could be rigged but the blackjack table was easy pickings because the dealers were amateurs and not pros like in an actually casino.
I used to do good at blackjack in Vegas in the 70’s against one or two decks.
cool story :0
did you see both? James Caan and Mark Wahlburg?
thought the James Caan one was better.
that one didn’t have such a happy ending. it was realized that he just needed a HIGH no matter how he gad to get it.
but John Goodman was great in the second one :)
more of a cerebral movie, both of them, which spells trouble in the US market
Okay, I'm going to have to ask you to please explain that. How would the quality of the dealers affect the odds of winning?
Unless you were counting cards...or doing something else a bit more, shall we say, creative...
