  • "Stephen Frears directs this comedy drama set in Las Vegas. Beth Raymer (Rebecca Hall) is a bubbly, good-hearted stripper who leaves her hometown of Tallahassee, Florida for Las Vegas in the hope of finding a more wholesome way to earn her living. She finds work in a betting organisation run by seasoned bookie Dink (Bruce Willis) and soon proves herself handy with numbers. But this knack for getting big returns soon leads to her becoming Dink's lucky charm and right-hand woman, much to the chagrin of Dink's wife, Tulip (Catherine."
  • "When Beth Raymer arrived in Las Vegas, her dreams didn't extend beyond getting herself a job as a cocktail waitress at a casino on the strip. And then she met Dink, one of the biggest gamblers in town, and found herself seduced by the adrenalin-fuelled, high risk, high reward world of professional sports betting and the obsessive, funny, rule-breaking bookies that run the show."
  • "Beth, a Las Vegas cocktail waitress, falls in with Dink, a sports gambler who swoons for her as she proves to be something of a gambling prodigy, earning the initial ire of Dink's wife, Tulip."
  • "Professional odds-maker Dink is running a small-time sports gambling enterprise when a former stripper named Beth promises to help him score big-and turns his world upside down. With his connections and her knack for numbers, the lucrative business of sports betting will never be the same. A talented cast of misfits who are willing to risk everything for their dreams; it is directed by Stephen Frears and based on Beth Raymer's best-selling memoir."
