rose?..the g-n-r story?

 

[bellyputter]

"The Gambler"(James Caan) is the greatest gambling movie ever!

 

[BAGIANT]

This is one of the best gambling movie that ever was. Watch when Gleason shows up at Ames dressed to the nines. He's so cool.

"So Eddie, What's your game. You shoot straight pool Eddie?"

 

[ed8]

Damn he just laid 15k on 3 games

 

[bellyputter]

Harvard Ga Tech UCLA. "We don't pay off at halftime."

 

[ed8]

Bookie told him to tell colored guy to only win by 7.

 

[ed8]

Why did he go to black town and beat up that pimp?

 

[ed8]

What in the hell kinda ending is that?????? I'm so confused!!!!!!

 

[bellyputter]

Why did he go to black town and beat up that pimp?

He couldn't wager or risk enough in his every day life to satisfy his gambling addiction. Risking his life was the ultimate RUSH and gamble. Cha-ching!
