Any scene from "Let It Ride"

 

[Haystacks]

"The Gambler"---James Caan 1) the bathroom scene bad beat(Lakers-Sonics) 2) scene with the mob collector("we don't pay off at halftime") 3) Caesars Palace---double on 18 under the gold dome


bathroom scene...........

3 to make 2 ........I bet half the people here don't know what that means...

i bet if you watched Mo cheeks miss the trifecta (all 3) on Christmas one year, when he needed just one to cover the hook, you will never forget 3 to make 2.
best gambling scene has to be when Henry Gondorff (paul newman) announces "4 jacks" to Doyle Lonnegan (robert shaw) in The Sting

 

[billhill999]

The Color of Money - Paul Newman gets played - "Do you think I need to lose some weight?"

I was going there even before I read your post.
Many terrific scenes in that movie.
Not a fan of TC, but like him that.

I like the final poker scene in the Cincinatti Kid when the J of diamonds is flipped over to give him the straight flush.

Oh that is a good one! Most funny thing about it is that "War" IS actually a casino game now.

Rounders ending is my 1st choice.

2nd is the ending of Yonkers Joe at the craps table.

really when you think about it war is the best odds game in vegas, 50/50 high card wins
there is no way the house is going to ever give you better odds then they have, 50/50 is the highest you will ever get

But when you tie, you have to bet again, but only get paid on the first bet. Huge house game. No reason to play. The game is retarded, anyway.

If you REALLY believe this then I will buy a War table, bank it myself, and put it in your living room so that you can play ANY time you want. I'll gladly book this for you, Sir.

You're a moron

ROFL. Actually war is one of the worst games in Vegas as far as
house edge.
