Oceans 11
Rush Hour 2 and Skyfall chips.

The Gambler (2015) - 80,000 chips in this particular snap. Just watched this yesterday and he always starts with 10,000 chips and doubles each win. He eventually climbed to $200,000 after getting Blackjack with his €80,000 bet.

He literally owed a guy $200,000 and still bet the €200,000 to try and double, when he could have just cleared his debt...which is why this is a terrible movie.

Rounders (1998) - Chipstack of the the same value chip

Echelon Conspiracy (2009) - One of my favourite movies ever. Snapped this myself since I have it on my hard drive



Wild Card (2015) - Also snapped from HD

Rainman (1998) - That's alota chips, you might even call him a chipkin9 lol
The Hangover (2009) - Another load of chips

Ok, not bad, but I want a better view of the chips, like Dave's but with more surrounding included. Dave's pics don't seem to be from a movie.
In the other pics you can't tell the chip's value. Ideally you would be watching a movie, or a clip from a movie, choose a frame that clearly shows a chip and it's surrounding and post it.
Don't mind how you found it, but pic must be from inside the movie and clearly show a chip and it's surrounding. No pics of different kinds of stacks of chips.
If it is a stack of same chips and you can clearly see the value, its ok.

No it isn't
It is a movie about someone with severe gambling addiction caused by an extreme world-view and a pathological obsession with gambling.
That doesn't make a movie good or bad. But it can be hard to watch, my 1st reaction was also negative. Now I think it was ok. Has a quote I love in it.

How about a special task about it?
Find the quote from The Gambler (2014) that I mean and win 6-4-2 points.
I won't help with that, only one post per person.

Alright it wasn't terrible, it was ok. But it did leave a bitter negative feeling. Like come on...there's addiction and complete stupidity. Clearly in this situation anybody (No matter how addicted) would know it's time to quit. In fact the sheer relief a gambler would feel at being able to pay back that amount of debt would have him smiling all the way back to the cashout counter.

I was rooting for him to be murdered btw

Alison Brie was the best part of that movie

Okay, so anyway. My Gambler screen is fine then, since it's the same €10,000 chipstack? Just two differnt ones than Rainman & Hangover, yea?

Edit: Also going to be difficult to get a snap that shows the value.

You can sure do better than that, it would be fine If I could see the value on the chip. But I tried zooming in, the angle is terrible, can't see a thing.

Just put "gambler" on YT, movie trailer, boom 10k chip close view

Just saw Echelon Conspiracy (2009) pic, love it, I will look for the movie today.

Probably not it, but that was funny. Fuck you!
