Beth Raymer (Rebecca Hall) leaves her dancing job at a Florida strip club to become a Las Vegas cocktail waitress. In walks Dink (Bruce Willis), a professional sports bettor who sees through her bubbly exterior and offers her a job placing wagers all over town to gain an advantage over the casinos. Her surprisingly impeccable mind for numbers soon cements her status as Dink's good-luck charm, until his gorgeous-but-frigid wife, Tulip (Catherine Zeta-Jones) , starts to get jealous. Faced with no other choice but to fire Beth, Dink's luck runs out when she heads to New York to work for a smarmy bookie, a turn of events that lands her squarely on the wrong side of the law. Based on a true story, LAY THE FAVORITE is a heartfelt comedy of finding friendship in the least likely places.

This was a truly terrible movie. I've been a gambler my entire adult life, and I knew most of the cast, so I figured it might be fun. It was not. It's supposedly based on a true story, yet nothing about it was believable at all. The ending makes no sense, where a guy bets 40K on credit, and that somehow equates to an 80K payout? Was New Jersey +200 on the money line? He didn't say "straight up" or "money line". Just a non-sensical, boring waste of time.
