i will say that Uncut Gems made me understand why people can get so invested in sports gambling. i was shaking near the end and was so into that basketball game being played
That movie was concentrated anxiety for me. The gambling was one thing but just for a second, I wanted a moment of near silence instead of people yelling lol
That's exactly why I couldn't finish that movie, so many people talking, no one listening.
I think the ending of that movie was a little disappointing. I enjoyed the movie throughout, but I felt like the

cliche was a bit frustrating. The high and sudden low took so much out of it. It was good. Maybe it was the right call, but it was so hard to experience.
I never finished the movie because it was painfully obvious where it was going, and none of the characters had any redeeming qualities. The guy was a narcissist and a gambling addict, and he was going to get himself killed. Having known a few people like that, I didn't feel any suspense or even interest in what would happen next. If he wins, he's still on a self-destructive course. If he loses, he's dead. Or maybe something else happens outside of his control, but who gives a shit? It was just constant yelling and unnecessary friction.

This is like a joke from MASH. Paraphrased:
Colonel Potter offers Radar a cigar.
Radar: Aren't they habit forming?
Potter: I've been smoking every day for 40 years, never picked up the habit.
I really need to watch M.A.S.H.
Highly recommend, it's one of my comfort shows. If you liked Scrubs, you'll probably like Mash.

Can't wait to gamble today. Literally shaking. That's called dedication.

That's called an addiction

Buddy, I've been gambling everyday for 20+ years. It's all I think about and I still haven't gotten addicted so doubt it's happening.
If he's been doing it every day for 20 years and can still afford to, he must be doing something right, right?
Or he has an enabler. Like rich grand parents
He is in sports gambling as a profession. Writes about, gives advice, predictions, etc.
