Big Shot-Con fessions of a Campus Bookie
|
| | | The true story that rocked the NCAA
Features: DVD
Campus bookie Benny Silman was living the American dream in Arizona: beautiful women, nice cars and easy money. But when he raised his profile by fixing college basketball games, mobsters, drug dealers and the FBI entered the picture and odds for personal survival became a long shot. This is the real life story of Silman and the 1994 Arizona State University point-shaving scandal that rocked the NCAA.
"A dazzling tour de force..." Newsday
"Very entertaining." L.A. Times
Editor's Note
Benny Silman was a kid from Brooklyn who fell in love with the culture shock he received when he attended Arizona State University. Beautiful women in bikinis, stunning weather, and the close proximity Las Vegas made Silman's new home a shangri-la. The Vegas trips became so regular that Silman eventually became the campus bookie at ASU, making money off fellow gamblers in the student body. This BIG SHOT took it too far when he began fixing Arizona State basketball games in point-shaving scandal that would stun the collegiate athletic world in 1994 as his short stint as big man on campus came to an abrupt end.David Krumholz (SIDEWALKS OF NEW YORK) is perfectly cast as the Brooklyn transplant in this made-for-cable feature. Using large doses of humor and a knowledge of sport, director Ernest Dickerson spins an entertaining tale of excess that makes a perfect companion piece for his other 2002 cable film, MONDAY NIGHT MAYHEM.
