Because of a new article on OneHash blog we came to a conclusion that it's worth a try to  refresh a topic of movies about gambling,  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1794375.0;viewResults) this time particularly about sports betting.

Get to know our list and start a discussion. We're really interested if we miss on something big :)

 The best sports betting movies by OneHash  (https://blog.onehash.com/a-gamble-worth-watching-the-best-sports-betting-movies-b9be747a1aff)

I can not open the link you have provided, Maybe because of my firewall here in the company but anyway I have known a sport betting movies one is on 2003 Comedy film name Bookies, The stories of three college students that start betting on the campus team and eventually on a fixed boxing match then won something big for themselves, Well I will not provide the full details but that is how the story works.

For the money a 2005 movie with Al Pacino and Matthew McConaughey, that was a good sports bookmaker movie.
Other good sports movie are Eight Men Out, Let it Ride, Two for the Money, Lay the Favorite and Diggstown.  ;D

Nice collection of movies. Some of them looks really worth to watch. I'm big fan of Martin Scorsese, but somehow I haven't saw these two movies made by him until now. Well, it goes to my "to watch" list :). I only saw one movie from that list - it's "White man can't jump". But I saw it long time, now I can't remember it in detail. Actually, there is not so many good kovies related with sports betting.

They are more interesting to watch that's why lots of people trying to make the movies like in this journal and most of the movies will not be like this because gambling will not be a bad way to make money that's why they don't put it like the bad idea to make money in the movies.

Haven't watched any of those movies in the list. Time to search those, download and get ready for the popcorn. I've seen more recent sports betting movies, but I don't know how old movies look like. Is it still interesting to watch? We will see...

Honestly i didn’t see any movies like this before and as the list you’ve provided, it looks like an old movies before. Maybe its time now for a new update on sports betting movies, Onehash can produced a movies like this i believe?  :) gambling movies is really good and entertaining so i hope to see a more update movies.

Csino royal is one of my favorite gambling movies fun and very excitement gambling action movies.



Your really ght mate it's  a very memorable gambling movies collections later if i have free time I download th movies one by by one for keep it as my collection.

Since most movies listed there are quite classic and old, movie quality I guess will be a concern for those who want to download.

Torrents are available on (don't know if it's allowed to mentioned torrent sites here so just hit me a PM if interested) and available quality are 720P&1080P Bluray (except White Men Can’t Jump (1992) and Bookies (2003) which isn't listed)

Can't miss with Al Pacino and Two for the Money.

I have not watched the movie in your list, but I think that it is interesting to watch it later.
Yes, I see that on the list have an old movie, but I think that it is worth to watch.
It will be great if you have an updated list of sport betting movies and it doesn't matter if the movies are popular or not because at least, there is a new movie with popular actor or actress inside the movie.

Shaolin Soccer movie is one of the good movie that I watched that they are using the drug products to win in their game for parts of money so this type of movies will be more interesting to watch at the end.

I have seen some movies listed in the article, all of which are good movies. Gambling is always the subject of exploiting famous movies, attracting a lot of audiences. With gambler, this is still the preferred topic when searching for good movies in your free time and relax. I often play dice and watch videos related to it to enjoy my pleasure.

Jannat — it's a Bollywood movie, it's story of a bettor who has kind of a six sense and knows who is gonna win, and how greediness can destroy lives.

Adding to the list of Bollywood Betting movies -

Do Dooni Chaar (2010) - The film is based on the character named, Santosh Duggal's (Rishi Kapoor) son Sandy Duggal. He  is seen indulged in cricket betting at a very young age. This habit lands Sandy and his family into trouble. This film also gives out a subtle message about the negatives of betting.

Kudos to the two posters above me, I came to this thread thinking about Jannat (I actually do NOT watch Bollywood movies at all but there were a few times I was held to a film or two by means of hostake taking heh). There are a few other movies that come to mind but I can't recall their titles.

They're basically two categories for me: the first deals with some kind of idiot savant who makes all kinds of calculations in their mind (sort of like a human Moneyball software), and the latter dealing with some kind of fixing. We in Asia are probably familiar with the latter, it pervades sports here like you wouldn't know!

I watched this movie but I don't think that it is a sports betting movie.

We are thinking about separate list, the one with movies specifically about gambling. Here we would have way more choice. Both in quantity and quality.

What do you think about it? Would you love to read that kind of article as well?

Well then, guys. Maybe it's time for list of some Bollywood movies as well?

Your gambling market and betting standards look both really interesting and quite controversial ;)

If you have another Asian movies of this genre that are worth watching, then put them here.

Share your cultural heritage here. We would love to get to know it.

LOL what the f man, that movie is not related to sports betting at all.

I never watch any single movie from all the listed on the article and most of them are old movies. I think it's hard to make a film based only from sports betting lol. That's why there is no new movie about sportsbetting.

I haven't watched any of the movie that's been listed. Will start watching one by one, maybe we get some techniques that can be used with the selection of odds. Most of the movies were old, but I believe those movies have got good storyline as well good content compared to the movies that were created these days.

Lol yeah . i think the guy coment that movie because the movie is about soccer and soccer is also a sport but then again we are talking about sports gambling here , not sports alone  but wait , the guy above states that there was a scene were they used a drug to be able to win . they are fighting for the money but they are also fighting for the fame  . idk is this can be consider as a valid answer  . hmmm ???

Same as you I haven't watched any of them but I think the movie have some scene about sports. Uncle Drew movie could also be good to watch and bet but sadly it's released already so those who already watched uncle drew would surely win some money. It would be more thrilling if a movie will be soon to release and bet just like game of thrones movie where you bet who will be the next to take the iron throne so in sports it might be good to have something like that. I may consider watching the movie in that list to check the content myself.

I remember watching a movie called "The Last Boy Scout" I think that was the first gambling movie I watch it's from 1991 and I much have watched a year or two later, on the cast are Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans. It was a great movie back then but I doubt it will be worth to watch today.

I don't watch this type of movies but I really trying to search the movies based on sports betting because at the end the result will be positive that's why this type of movies will always be interesting to watch.

I don't watch that movie previously but when I am hearing this I really interested about seeing the movie very quickly because I hear a little thing about this movie from my friends and it will be interesting so tonight I am ready to watch this movie.

You mean Y**.*M ? Or any other torrent sites.I choose one of the most popular and its good to know that there are HD quality ones.

I will try to download these movies and would watch later after finishing download.These are classics and old but it would be really good to watch.

This might not be an on-point sports betting but I do love the scene of Margot Robbie and Will Smith in Focus, the one that leads their victim to pick the number they want to. Before that, they made some bets and I think that will count as sports betting right? It is amazing and to be honest, I only know a few movies that include sports betting and I can only remember one.


You can try to watch 21. I love that movie and it might not be close to the real thing that is happening but I think it is a great one.

Intacto is a good spanish movie. Though it's more about stealing luck from people coming into the casino, it's still an amazing movie to watch.
Similar is "the cooler" Las vegas comedy movie where there's a cooler in casino, when people starts earning more, the presence of the cooler would be enough to make them lose.

I watched a lot of movies who are related to the gambling. I remember they have movie who have a group who have a leader and they cheat playing gambling they have techniques to win to gambling or to the casino they play. But they caught by the owner and they did not do their next plan and they migrate to other place and they do new plan so for the next they will not caught again.

I never watch any sports betting movies before except for Space Jam if it is considered as one,
But I would try to search for this movies and try it out,And I think I would enjoy it since there is a comedy film .

Did anyone have heard the name of the movie "Jannat"? This movie is totally on sports bet, cricket. Emraan Hashmi, the hero gambled a huge and won huge hand and dreamt of creating his own "Jannat" with her dream girl, sad, he has been killed by police since sports bet aren't legal.

The movie Back To The Future part 2 can also be seen as a sports gambling move, Marty buy a book of the Complete Sports Statistics 1950-2000 in 2015, however, the 1955's Biff ends up with the book, making him the luckiest man in the world!
The TV series Travelers, also use sports gambling and even lottery to generate money, but that's a very small part of the series, they also mine Ethereum in one episode.

A good list of movie Buddy, only 1 movie I've watched on your list. That is Silver linings playbook, actually the core of the film is not about gambling, but about the drama romance of two crazy couple anyway.
I have a film about sports betting but a local film in my country, tells about soccer in my country, and soccer mafia and from that movie I know about "fixing score", shocked there are many settings game "fix score" in soccergame of my country

Well there are many good sports betting platform nowadays but I still prefer to.bet online in a casino online betting platform. It is because sports betting.has time constraint in waiting for the scheduled match event that would not fit in the likes of me.to which I am more preferred to.bet and get the results as much as possible.

If I will consider betting other than online casino betting platfom then I will chose the esports betting.

The movie blue chips with Shaq, its about a college basketball team involved in a point shaving scandal.

I think this is completely okay. He might not be well versed about the sports gambling but he can learn and mocking is just wastage of time and can discourage someone while a wise man will always encourage you. Speaking about the sports gambling movies, there are couple of them I have watched. Bookies and Two for the money. Both of these are great movies full of drama and suspense plus handsome stacks of money.

There are lot more movies related to gambling than the list, one the I like was the Maverick (1994) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110478/). Its mostly about the poker tournament, though it concentrate much about the mishaps and the father and son story, the bluffing on the table is very fun to watch. What happen on movies though seem to happen just in movies.

You have a nice collection of movies, and these are really worth-full, also your thread gives us information who don't know about these movies or forget to watch them. Silver Linings Playbook and The Color of Money, both are my favorite movies, Specially the color of Money is amazing, Tom Cruise he is my favorite hero all the time, in this movie, he was too young.      

Just like the others, I haven't watched any of those movies on your list. However, one title caught my attention though:Two for the Money. I don't know. The title seems catchy for me and I'm hoping that so is the movie itself. Already listed as a "must watch".  :D

I'm guessing that these are the links of the movies. Cool. Might as well visit it one of these days.

Good stuff mate, thank you for sharing, I have already bookmarked it and will watch this one during my free time.
I love sports gambling, and honestly, I have never watch any of the movies you shared, that gives me the excitement now.

I thing a real life experience is something you will never find in sports gambling movies except the once that are based on real life stories. A movie can just show you what has happened and a real life participation in sports gambling enables you to experience what is happening. 21 is my favorite movie and I love the way the birth of strategies take place at the table.

Maybe we should create separate thread with poll in which we would ask you the same question?

It would give us utter, measerble results once and for all.

Or do you think that the better idea is to actually create a poll, but with gambling movies as a whole?

If you go Bollywood, then you cannot ignore Hong Kong and Japan, and god knows there's a few movies there about sports betting. There's a lot of intricacy too, gambling forbidden in South Asia and Southeast in large parts, whereas it's actually very cultural in the Far East.

Betting markets and standards are definitely controversial, and that's just form what I know as an amateur gambler. The way it works underground would put a lot of the Western movies to shame, I'd say.

But I guess mainstream wise, there haven't been great movies from Asia - non sports gambling movies aside, I actually can't even recall any good ones apart from the one mentioned above (Hindi language Bollywood).

There is one about illegal boxing/fighting that was rather popular a few years back: Fatal Contact. Apart from the fact that almost every scene had people betting on them though, or that big bookies were fixing matches, it wasn't actually about gambling.

I notice all gambling movies existing are very old, most of them dating back from 70'-80' and even though they are pretty good I would like to see something new because times have changed and so did the industry of sports betting. I kept looking for recent movies but could find anything interesting related to sports betting, so maybe someone can share a recent movie related to this topic.

One may learn from the gambling experiences which a movie contain after watching that movie but one can understand it without watching any movie. It might be giving you extreme excitement while getting experience from the gamblers while watching movies. I personally suggest to have a control over you and to have better strategies practicing after practices will strengthen your abilities to win most games.

Maybe a little off topic, but any of you guys have an opportunity to see new Quentin Tarantino's movie?

We're wondering at OneHash is it worth to go to this movie with the whole team. And maybe with one of other movie fanatics or OneHash fans  ;)
