While rating movies withInsider, poker pro Darren Elias evaluates the accuracy ofThe Sting.
Overall,Elias gaveThe Stinga 7 out of 10 for accuracy.
Check out his full quote below:
Going to sneak in the cold deck here.
So looks like we’re playing a five-card draw here, again.
Which is common in these older movies in the Westerns, to play a five-card draw.
So this is a pre-draw.
So we see Paul Newman has three of a kind.
That is technically illegal, that’s string betting.
So, if you are going to raise, your first action needs to be to raise.
In reality, it would just be ‘raise to $2,000 or something like that.’
So a bit of a cheating, cheaterverse cheater scenario here.
And then Paul Newman pulled a fast one here and somehow switched in four jacks.
I would give this a 7 out of 10, just because the cheating can happen.
The poker professional gave a high accuracy score for the 2008 based-on-a-true-story drama21, with 9 out of 10.
