you can to help us now the guys who did

this to you

sorry not my problem anymore come on

Ricky don't you at least want a little

payback all right we didn't hear

anything from me

absolutely there's a guy the one who got

me in his name's Danny Bo's okay thanks

[Music]

and Evo's just the little rodent we're

looking for hey Callie I was just about

to call legal see that we just saved it

you gotta let me get one more bet down

leo I got a tip you're into me two grand

already you've been dodging my friends

now you want me to front you again

what am I the bank is stupidity Oh

when this tip hits we're both covered

she's still walking around because

you've brought in some quality players

but tomorrow you bring me two grand

clear so does this mean you're gonna

cover me

what we're backed up three months on

bike parts

we got rookies doing field repairs with

duct tape I'm gonna upset because I

signed Granger undercover and didn't ask

her about it first

well now that we're on the subject there

is no subject Cory Russ is the right age

and he knows sports betting you find any

doubts you would have heard about yes

sir

anything you say sir Cory there's five

grand for a case give me a chance we

better to spend it on fighting words

[Music]

so this silver dollar is your like good

luck charm goes way beyond that but I

don't expect you to understand

try me

this this is magic my father gave this

to me he got it from his father who got

it from a fortune teller

oh come on Russ legend says that you can

use this once in a lifetime to determine

the outcome of one bet but you have to

be absolutely sure it's the right time

and you believe that my grandfather used

it to decide if Nick the Greek was

holding a full boat or aces up in a No

Limit game in Aruba

he built this entire fortune off that

one bet my dad blew his big shot at a

bar in Reno but if he could get a

waitress to fall for him and well I'm

here on time Russ Jamie its Corey

gobbler sergeant straitjacket you guys

need a maid yeah what do you think

number one you look way too comfortable

number two I don't trust you on your own

undercover but I've been overruled amen

you want to pray pray I don't pull you

this second you screw up you know I'm

not even gonna let you ruin this for me

I'm going undercover with five grand of

somebody else's money to bet it however

basketball this is a mass at rest now

lucky to even hit the backboard you

gotta know like how hard to throw it how

hard a suit it the book has words for

that thrust in elevation ding ding now

now you should have to roll it off your

fingertips spent trajectory is

determined by mass thrust elevation and

spin

not coming hang on to that silver dollar

like it's a holy grail of good luck do

you think this coin is BS well let's

make a bet then Bobby come on anything

one year's pay five years pay just on

one flip of my silver dollar because I

will win and you will lose we're getting

complaints from the neighbors Bobby J me

out I got people put you screaming drunk

outside a bar yesterday afternoon I was

dealing with a situation yeah well so am

I like the fact that you got thrown out

of college for running a sports book and

you didn't tell us that was a bunch of

kids in a dorm there's no charges about

how did you know about that

get real rookie you ever hear of

internal affairs what the hell are you

doing with my ia files you trying to

find new ways to screw me up no same old

ways oh I get it you're pulling me out

no I'm not because despite everything

you're making progress but you have to

close it out fast close it out I am

seven for seven you have any idea what

that means yes it means you've

disregarded the order to lose and make

them come after you but we can do so

much more by winning by playing out this

streak I can take these guys for fifty a

hundred grand we could put this

department on $4,000 Trek bikes oh

please don't even go there do you know

what some defense attorney would do with

that forget it rush you have to stop it

now so I'm supposed to go out of my way

to make a stupid bet

now you're getting it you are doing what

betting at all the Pacific doesn't beat

the spread against Gonzaga are you not

suckers team could beat the spread

against Gonzaga so don't bet it the

spread is 10 points for God's sake

Daryl passed his midterms he's got no

pressure on him he's gonna score 40

points so I'm telling you don't bet it

you know something you got a lock on the

game oh man you got it wrong

so that are your suicide don't rule that

out it's a coin and then you're gonna

use the coin you think I'd blow that on

14 grams 21 I put in I gotta make a

phone call Danny don't do it great

there has been to the bow head to the

line now for two meaningless free-throws

only two seconds left in the club okay

goodbye nine tonight Terrell hits one of

these we're pushing it some bumps were

screen really wasn't alone

[Applause]

this is that one

[Applause]

nice nobody got to Darris B has 24

points overall just another

demonstration of why this kid may go as

a lottery pick the NBA draft SB 3 4 7 9

this is that one as well you gotta tell

me you did use the coin

[Music]

but it needs you

[Music]

[Music]

yo Darryl good game last night man

looked like he was a little bit off

though give me some brah what happened

was a mistake and a very profitable one

for me it's only right that uh I'll

return the favor

then take the van back and stay away

from my family but we don't have a

problem me and you hey man I'm not a

problem that you want to have son I'll

take that chance

[Music]

hey Darryl hey yeah sure now you can't

miss that game was over that's two

points didn't matter except maybe to me

Danny and who else no we're not gonna be

good

how about the guys that gave your mother

a van this morning hey guys I got some

change in my pocket why don't you want

to get us a couple Gator rings yo man

hell are you a cop n-c-double-a just a

guy who makes a lot of money watching

guys like Big Dawg Malala

she's like the Warren Buffett a Westside

gambling you don't go heavy unless you

know something nothing to know about

that game my man so why did give him

under the van why don't you ask me why I

gave it back

why did you it's got to make you nuts to

see your mom walk in a church for these

dopers or driving 50 grand with the

Lincoln off your jump shot

yeah I gotta admit it does make a man

stay up at night but not enough for me

to take anything from Big Dawg don't you

nobody got to him

yeah maybe just got nervous if you ask

me it's about right to be turned

because bigger question doesn't if you

knew you had a chance to score big if

you had a deadbolt lock on a game would

you go for it would you

[Music]

higher than that oh it is it's a lot lot

when I think I've seen you at your

lowest you go and reveal a whole new

level of sickness thank you tell me

cheese ball player now you bring in this

mysterious rust and suddenly you're

beating my brains just a little lucky

Street man don't talk to me about luck

one PD thing I've known suspect from

flight boardwalk and weak stand by

let him go

[Music]

you're my subjects under surveillance

just hold on a second what's the deal

sergeant huh you don't trust me to

manage my own people do you understand

that I'm trying to set something up here

you could have blown my cover hey we

didn't follow anybody oh and you just

happen to be responding to a disturbance

what we do you're paranoid and you're

out of line if you're so on top of

things how come your subjects are out

there tearing at the portal because

that's what they do and you're done

that's it I want that report on my desk

tomorrow morning you have been looking

dang me since day what back off for us I

have set up witnesses I have recorded

transactions I even made a link to one

of the most powerful gangs on the

Westside and you want to throw it all

away because I'm winning that it's not

only stupid that is stupid who are you

calling stupid

what come on Punk so which one isn't it

tough back on come on lay on whose test

it's a little training exercise I sort

of glossed over at the academy it's

called respect guys don't

oh let him go

[Music]

I miss the party no CC I'm sorry III was

just

did you see the lieutenant that was an

awesome green move Cory Thanks

Sarge was just giving me a little

training exercise you know do something

about your face training exercises so

you saw it Strickland yes sir that's

what I saw and do I need to stress the

importance of restricting these little

training exercises to an approved

training facility no no do you see I

apologize for what guy comes to me like

that I'm doing the same damn thing I'm

glad to see you guys are getting along

but for the record I wouldn't blame her

if she did kick the hell out of you I'm

not sure I would either and more to the

point Granger there's a perception that

your investigations going out of control

well I was just telling sergeant that

that everything is just about ready to

bring things to a close

if you don't mind I'm gonna split before

I blow my cover

yeah yeah fun Thanks you sure about this

Cory

your call the one thing I am sure about

is if we don't support each other we got

enough that means muscle pull through

you'll see I wasn't talking about Russ

[Music]

how's Tara holding up you gonna do it

yeah I think his conscience is clear I

had to convince him that I was gonna get

hurt if he didn't help me out I'm very

noble of him he took the 10 grand said

he might as well since the points are

getting the shave anyway

big dog couldn't wait to get his money

now hundred thousand dollars he goes

anywhere with this kind of bet

red flags go up everywhere so he gives

it to you you lay it off on Leo nines

it's perfect

we've done the math here yeah not real

good with numbers we're entitled to 20%

of big dogs take for the fix we add it

to our 40 grand we bet it all

that's 120 when we win we give 10 to

Daryl we give 10 to Leo for spreading

out the bets we walk out with a hundred

thousand dollars of which 58.9% is mine

and 41.1% is yours I thought you weren't

good with numbers but I am good with

money and you came into this deal stuck

for two great I didn't think I'd forget

we could go on buried in student loans

and but to get my legs broken I don't

have a rich daddy to pay my bills save

my butt man

alright then here's our play first very

important you pay off those loans then

we take 10 grand of big dogs money up

front not 20 later that way leo nines

doesn't get a dime of our cash then what

do we do with it have I let you down yet

you have a lock on Darrell Nesby you

were right leo I scoped you out not for

smarter guys for us just I knew we were

making this play all along I lock I'm

Daryl Ness be Pacific does not cover the

spread against Loyola this afternoon

guaranteed I need somebody to spread the

action for me without attracting a lot

of attention Commission's 5% $140,000 a

lot of cash to lay off in a couple hours

10% 14 grand for keeping the books then

jump on a plane walk into a half a dozen

casinos drop 140 K on a college game

nobody gives a damn about about an hour

before tip-off kick back and feel the

feds crawl up your button 7% do

attempted to take this and just pay

somebody to pop there on the esby but I

guess it's more fun to watch him do it

himself didn't I tell you I always win

you haven't won yet leo

sure I have look at this I'm even gonna

let my percentage rug I know my friend

Danny would never let me lose

[Laughter]

here I got it all set up to make a

killing 100 grand and all I gotta do is

bet the fixer and

turn this be throwing his life he

wouldn't be in this position if you

hadn't put him there arrests and that's

a downside huh kidding

so I badge him he goes out beats a

spread and I lose everything except your

dignity pride and self-worth hey Matt

those things are all for sale we're just

working out the price what do I don't

you do whatever it is you can live with

for the rest of your life I guess this

is the right time are you sure

[Music]

[Music]

never want to figure that

hey thanks

the problem I was passing by just

wondering here's easy to lock your

Standish says you are better stop my

friend ten grands what I hear plus you

get it think you're doing Danny a favor

stay away from me

[Music]

daddy set me up no you set yourself up

when you took the 10 G's if it's any

comfort to you he just thought he was

selling you out for money you know it

was the cop yeah but I know who you are

which means that's the end of my career

nope

you did something you never would have

done if I didn't set you up

that's called entrapment which means

you're in the clear

but there is one thing you got to do for

closing seconds of Pacific pavilion

the corner by 11 if you would be dead

Granger how do you mean you're such a

hotshot gambler

why don't you badge Gerald Levin bet

Pacific to beat the spread she even

thought of that

maybe you're not as smart as you think

I'd have funneled the money to a friend

in Nevada had him spread the bets on

Pacific then transferred their winnings

to an offshore account except enough for

an anonymous donor

bikes but
