"He beat me... Straight up... Pay him... Pay that man his money".

Who doesn't like Teddy KGB (John Malkovich) from 1998 flick The Rounders?

I was just reminded for some reason of another bad guy movie gambler.

Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw) from 1973 mega-hit The Sting.

Eddie Felson (Paul Neuman) and Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason) lag for break in 1961 classic poolroom drama The Hustler.

The movie that introduced me to gambler's karma. You ain't ready for me kid...Best wishes...OF

Loved the Hustler, but my favorite movie degenerates were George Segal & Elliot Gould in California Split. They bet on everything, ponies, poker, sports, etc.

Buster Poindexter from "Let It Ride".My favorite line is when he turns to the crowd and says "He Pissed it all away." And the crowd cheers.

Hate it when that happens. Reminds me of the horse track.

Judge, another great line if I remember correctly was when he was giving blood and said "I was only gonna bet the Packers for $50 and another zero came out." Lmao, great movie.

Krusty the Clown.


Not a movie but still the funniest gambler ever.....

Krusty's accountant : "Let me get this straight Krusty. You took all the money you made and bet it against the Globetrotters????


Krusty :"I thought they were due! The game was fixed! The Globetrotters used a ladder for Pete's sake! C'mon! He's just holding out the ball, take it!!
