Showcased Selections: Sports Gambling

From the archives, a bite-sized edition of Friday Film Showcased looking at the rise and rise of sports gambling, a horrifying epidemic that has taken over the USA and the world, as predicted in the Tony Scott / Shane Black Christmas classic The Last Boy Scout.
