[man sobbing]
[sobbing continues]
Jack...
Jack...
[Jack] Gambling's got nothing
to do with making money.
It's about winning and losing.
[hard rock music]
[Jack] Dear God, I come to you
in my hour of need,
not as a Christian, Muslim,
Jew or Hindu,
just me, Jack Cameron.
I ain't given up yet,
even though you've
ignored me for years.
I now realize for
you to truly hear me,
I have to fear nothing and risk
more than my job seekers allowance.
What you betting on, horses?
Yeah, Carlton fancies
the favorite, two-to-one.
Two-to-one, that's a
rich man's prize isn't it?
[Jack] Today, I truly
put my faith in you.
I'll risk the fall so I can
know how it feels to fly.
The bet of my life.
Don't chase the big wins like
the rest of the loser's in here.
Stay sharp, bet smart.
F*ck it, you're right.
[Jack] I have the
right to risk my own life
if it means I have a
chance of saving it.
[guys speaking indistinct]
I'm chasing more
than a castrated bet
like a two-to-one favorite.
I need more than a
stay of execution.
I have to have the strength
to go all the way
if I want to cut the
shackles of contentment
and take the walk to
glory and success.
Today, I'm finally ready
you, my place of worship.
Where I'm surrounded by my
fellow brothers of faith.
Punters whose cries
for help are heard
as often as the sound
of a silver ball
spinning on the
roulette machines.
The bookies,
where I've gone from a scared
16-year-old boy, frightened of putting
a pound on a ten-team accumulator,
To putting my life
on the line for the bet
and make it worth living.
If this wins, everything
I've ever done in my life
up until this point
in the journey of achievement.
Another loss,
and everything I've ever done
has been worthless, meaningless,
and I will disappear
from the book of life.
Another loser from
around the way...
[chuckles] You trying to
close us down again love?
[Jack] ...who won't be missed.
Good luck.
[announcer] And Rocket Fuel,
the favorite,
has made a terrible start,
he's already lost by one
and Paradise Lost has
absolutely flown from the gate.
He's bolting clear!
Fucking come on Rocket Fuel.
Fucking actual fucking
bollocks, Yiannis.
Fucking listening
to you, that is.
It was just a freak race.
If they ran that race
100 times over
our horse
would have won 99 times.
We were just unlucky.
No one predicted the winner
of that race, no one.
[man] Jack. Jack.
[Jack] You gotta be strong
to survive hell,
and even stronger if
you wanna get out.
There's no room for weakness
on the road to success.
Go on, f*ck off, fucking muck.
- You fucking shit your pants.
- No, I fucking never.
- Fucking did.
- Didn't.
You did pants it a bit, mate.
I didn't fucking
pants it though.
Why didn't you Wung Fu him?
F*ck off, Yiannis, I'll fucking
Wung Fu you, brother.
What would your fucking old man
would have done if it
happened to him, man?
He'd have fucking kicked
the shit out of him.
- Exactly.
- I know, alright. I fucking know, just leave it.
You need to fucking
man up, man, seriously.
F*ck off,
I've had enough of you boys.
Leave him...
[muttering]
What do you want? What?
I'm at a friend's house, Mom.
I'm not at the fucking bookies,
I told you I'm at
a friend's house.
Mom, I've told you
a thousand times
I don't want to go to
work with me dad, do I?
I don't wanna work in a stinky fucking
fish and chip shop, do I? F*ck that.
Okay, so I won't ask you for
