Gambling in cinema is far more common than at first you might think. From Clark Gable in Any Number Can Play, to Tom Berenger in Platoon, actors often portray gambling. Sometimes it is mere window dressing, texture to the visual experience; often it plays a more central role. From the flouting of US or UK gambling laws, to the moral comeuppance of the unworthy, cinema loves gamblers. Whether modern day bookies like Bet365 like cinema is another matter.
