For my own recommendation is ocean eleven (2001), on the other hand there are actions and also smell of gambling. there was a lot of
action on how to cheat houses at the casino, it was very tense and entertaining you know.

the best gambling movie is Casino (1995), scored 8.2 on imdb. It is a tale of greed, deception, money, power, and murder occur between two best friends: a mafia enforcer and a casino executive, compete against each other over a gambling empire, and over a fast living and fast loving socialite.
Dont know anything else besides 21. Im a sci-fi movie fan and this isnt my type but i get hooked with this movie. It provides strategies and tells us even poker is a game of luck, we can still manipulate the game by knowing the probabilities of any cards. The only talent you need to have is memorization and mathematics.
That’s a best gambling movie for me actually, its tell things about the poker though its quiet exaggerated but I feel entertained watching that one. Poker is indeed a game of luck and some strategies will work on this only if you are good enough and you already experience a lot situation in poker.Dont know anything else besides 21.

Boiler Room is perfect example for combination of psychology and odds even though movie is about challenge of traders. I remember well one part from movie that guys talk about how to beat system with logical steps. Long story short, greed is definition about psychological cause of addiction which drains our pockets. Exclusions happen,but i doubt it in online games. In my opinion there is somehow correlation between skills and zero risk events that happens rarely in gambling.
I have seen many movies related to gambling and sports in my local language and also many historical films too which may not be directly involving money but still gambling with other valuable things they have.In hollywood I like casino royale.
In today situation money made everything so gambling movies and always be there a laptop feels and it will be successful running and accepted by all people that's why lot of people interested in gambling I also made some investment by seeing lots of movies.

I might try to watch all the suggested movies here related to gambling. Have not thought before of such kind of movie. And I might even find some new tricks to gambling.
thats nice bro . gambling movies didnt get much attention and they dont have many releases from this genre . that is why it is good if you can support them but i dont think that you can get legit tricks on them because they arent real at all since they are only a movie .
By the way , im only familliar with one movie that is related to gambling and the title of that movie is god of gamblers . the movie was a bit old and i was verry young the first time a watch it on a vcd player of our neighbor
There are too many gambling movies. If you tend to search on google you will find plenty of them. Although I am not so fond of movies but still "The lady Gambler" is one of my favorite all time movie related to gambling.
What are some of the best movies based on gambling? My favorite is Rounders. What about you ?
There are a lot of movies with gambling themes, my favourite is the Revolver movie where the main character enters in a very dangerous gambling game where he risk to even be left dead. There are some pretty good actors in it, with Jason Statham being the main character. I suggest you to see it in case you haven't already. For other good gambling movies just check the IMDB website database.
Most of names have already popped up here. Anyway, I want to tell you about the Hindi Movie "Jannat" which is based on gambling although in a bit traditional way. From this movie, I had learned how a match can be fixed and why. You may have seen this movie since your name tells you are an Indian.

I love the movie Bugsy. Its about mobster Bugsy Siegel and how he started Flamingo and perhaps the Las Vegas strip. When I first watched the movie, I didn't believe that he is one of the brains behind the Casinos in Las Vegas. I watched the movie more than 5 times already and I have one downloaded in my desktop.
Most of the times these kind of movies are motivational but problematic as well. For those who want to join armed forces, they see army movies and war based movies and their interest keep on developing. But what is the case with gamblers? Definitely they would do the same. They have to keep themselves away from such movies because if they don’t, they might be getting addicted.
. And I don't attributed gambling movies to the rise of addicted gamblers. Never see any research or correlation, so I might be wrong.I love the movie Bugsy.

More than 5 times? I am gonna watch it then 
My favourite gambling movie is 21, released in 2008. When I was a student I had a phase where I tried to count cards in a few casinos. It didn't work well actually but the movie inspired me to try it out. Over the years, I have seen it again and again.
Also I like the Wolf of Wallstreet starring Lenoardo Di Caprio. Probably not a real gambling movie but it covers "gambling" methods and excesses in the financial industry.

If you attempted to count cards in a casino then you must be some genius and have a great photographic memory.
Even if you remember everything and account for no errors, the way the casino cuts the deck will make it very difficult. Also it only edges in your favor about 0.5-1.0% last time, I read about it.
So basically you need to play thousands of hands, with no human errors, without getting noticed by security to win.
So in reality its very difficult to do.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that card-counting has become pointless nowadays. In modern casinos they either use a new deck each game or they use automatic shuffling machines(ASMs) which randomly shuffle decks, or Continuous shuffling machines (CSMs) which partially shuffle used cards back into the dealer's shoe.
If the card counting techniques from the American heist drama film 21 presented any danger to casinos, MGM Studios would not finance the film in the first place. But they did because they saw the film as an attention-getter. "People who saw it would be encouraged to go to Vegas and play" - they said.
My favorite of all time "Lord of Gamblers". Its a movie that combined drama, crime and gamble all together in one with all its sequel. The interesting thing about it was that, the movie was exclusively about gambling unlike the other ones I have watched that it was just in passing that some scenes will be showed in casinos. It even went to show how deep people take gambling in the underworld and how extreme they could go. Still looking to download the movie and watch again.
