Plot Summary
When three friends are on the losing side of a sizable bet, they decide the real money lies in playing the other side of the table. They come up with an ingenious way to run their own business as bookies right from their college campus, and both the money and troubles start pouring in. Successful beyond even their own imagination, the trio wind up on the radar of the local mafia, which is never really a good thing.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Noisy, grating and morally dubious.
Fresh: Both a satiric and level-headed slant on collegiate life and big-time sports, Bookies is an eye-opening amusement.
