@@stevenwalker9013.it is.. when I was 22 year old just graduated I got hired by a big company and my first salary was 4 times the last I got, without bonuses and commisions.. I was crazy going out with girls and parties, traveling around the world, meeting beutiful girls everywhere,, but I could save enough to buy 2 apartments in the best places of my city, unfortunatelly I got divoced and I had to split with my ex wife in half.. so my advice is.. no matter if you are rich or poor, as long as you are single, you are in the safe side..!! But, if you get married but buy your stuff under the name of your parents or brothers.. then you will avoid to split your money with your wife.
Some of it is current industry standard, but he only riffles twice before the cut, whereas today we would wash (as he did), riffle twice, strip, then riffle again, and finally, cut. His distribution (sliding the cards) is seen more commonly in the UK and Europe today, but you would be unlikely to see it used in a stud game in the same way he delivers the upcards to the players.
This was called "kaleidoscope" its a great movie... He brakes into the playing card factory and changes the card design with his own markings, inableing him to read the cards... Very well done, could stand a modern remake..
The premise of the story is laid out in the Time Life book "The Gamblers". During the 19th century, an Indian tribe bought cards from the local store, marked them, and then returned the cards. Then they invited another tribe to a card game, and I guess had them stop at the store to pick up a deck of "new" cards, just to be "fair".
key plot device is that those spectacles Beatty is wearing enable him read small marks on the backs of the cards and know what his opponents are holding so he is in fact cheating big time, otherwise basic plot of this movie is the same as Casino Royale, engage a master criminal in an all stakes poker match, make him lose so the he is ruined and vulnerable then the authorities close in and get him, he loses, kidnaps the girl and roughs up the winner etc. This is a fun caper movie filmed in London in the 1960s, at the beginning Beatty's character breaks into a printing factory that prints playing cards for major casinos, he marks the printing plates and so with special glasses he can read the backs of the cards and know what cards his opponents have, he proceeds to gamble around London and Europe cleaning up along the way, he then gets blackmailed by a London police detective into helping the police snare Mr Big superbly played by Eric Porter, who's character models himself on Napoleon. I saw this movie at the cinema as a kid, then on TV, and now I have the DVD, I quite like it, it's fun, stupid yep...but entertaining!

Incredible acting -you just have to watch the facial expressions of the actors to read what is going through their minds. They don't make them like this anymore. 📽👍
I've never seen this movie, just these scenes on RU-vid. He looks vastly different as a young man but now that I see it, I can't unsee the Professor. "I can promise you one, but not the other"
@@heleneschenbacher8512 its not really a spoiler because if you watch the movie the first thing that happens is Beatty breaks into the card printing factory to alter the printing plates....so the premise is laid out right at the start of the movie, telling you that now would only be a spoiler if that fact was revealed at the end of the movie..but we know right from the start..so...it shouldn't spoil your enjoyment of the movie at all, it is not a mystery that he is cheating.
LOL no he didn't and if you knew anything about poker you would know that Lord does not play a 10 in the hole this way hahahah if he did then here take my money!@@chriswesterfield2042
I think Eric Porter steals the show far more than Warren Beatty. When I look at Portmer here I realise that he would have been a first class James Bond villain.
Why is it that in every single poker scene in any film, the first person to show their cards ALWAYS loses? You can tell who's going to win any hand simply by who shows last.
Not only does the loser show first, but out of turn - after calling the final raise. I reckon the loser shows first because otherwise the scene loses continuity. If the winner shows first, the scene then needs to explains why the losers shows at all. If the loser shows anyways, after virtually admitting defeat already, the element of "surprise" is lost.
for rich people it's like getting slapped around when the portier has to show them out.and when that happens being viewed as a poor loser is the fastest way to never again play somewhere.rich like rich who don't cry about minor losses like this.if you do cry then you must not be one of them.do you still wish the portier to show you out?
that shit gets to me to,worse when it's someone not even in the hand doing it. then again the amounts they are betting is smallish for rich guys,but it's a nice club, poor losers not welcomed,voiced kept low,and players shutting the fuck up so you can think.
@@huythong4109 when it's a cash chips it sounds like money,but i play tournament and all you hear is that fing clicking noise even when someone isn't playing they make it,but to each their own.
I would love to play in a competition where the players got to choose their own game each hand. "A minimum of ten pounds, a maximum of twenty thousand pounds. Any questions? Then gentlemen the table is right. Seven players." "Mr Jordi?" *"52-card Pickup."*
@@michaelgove9349 it was a thrill I took just 200£ and announced when I lost it I was out.vthey were nice about and I organized lots of deliveries for them. Haha
Considering that a deck can be stacked to ensure a specific person wins the hand no matter where the cut happens, a cut of the stub in the middle of the hand seems an effective means of stopping this.
I LOVE poker scenes! Cincinnati Kid, Rounders, Casino Royals w Daniel Craig--although some reviewers thought it boring! Off topic--Carly Simon’s song “You’re So Vain?” She finally admitted it was written about Warren Beatty! What siblings! Beatty and sister Shirley McClain who thinks she’s been reincarnated a thousand times! Ha!
What about "The Sting"? Of all "poker scenes" from film, the poker scene on the train is my absolute, hands-down favourite!! If you're not familiar with it, here it is... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_mrNhIxOGzw.html
@@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid Are there any poker scenes where the play is correct? Poker seems to be like period transport; film-makers always get it wrong.
@@tooleyheadbang4239 Closest I've seen is "Lucky You". It's a pretty bad movie overall, but the play itself is very realistic. Many of the hands shown are actually based on real life hands.
So Carly Simon finally said who that song was for? And it was Warren Beatty. And yeah he was and still is vain. That’s actually nice to know. I was wondering who was it for. Was it for James Taylor or jagger or Beatty. Thanks for the information
That Chinese( most likely)or Japanese or Korean dealer has one hell of a way in dealing the cards. Proof that Gambling is in their blood 😂😂😂. That Parker Pen on that cheque didn't quite cut it😂😂😂
I think he said "cagnotte" (similar to the "rake" in poker ) In Baccarat, the _cagnotte_ is the fee the Casino takes after every betting round. He probably meant to say "no rake".
wow thankyou so much this has been bothering me for years. I thought it was maybe a French word for blind or ante something of that nature, nice one thanks.@@PSColdFire
I just looked up the cast. Blonde woman died, sad. The two poker players are in their late 80s. The blonde looked so good here but really old now. The brunette looks so different when he's older than here. Completely different person. His acting on facial expressions was perfect here.
