116 min Watch NowDocumentary, Drama
THE BEST OF IT takes an unflinching look at the life of a professional gambler. The character driven documentary focuses on the lives of Boston, The Shrink, Dink, and Banker who all chose to make a living betting sports. A gambler selects this profession despite knowing the life they fancied tends to chew up and spit out even the most seasoned gambler—an all too common tale in Las Vegas. A feud between Boston and The Shrink develops after accusations are made about gambling debts, but a gambler’s actual bank account balance is often based on rumors and half-truths. The outcome of a gambler is as unpredictable as the the games they bet.

These are all the things they’ve covered up about the tragedy that they don’t want you to know about... One of the largest mass shootings to ever occur, happened at the Route 91 country music festival here in Las Vegas. 58 innocent people lost their lives and rather than look for answers or a motive, the mainstream media dropped the story instead after major inconsistencies and holes started appearing in the FBI’s “investigation.”Legends
