Heheh, I'm pretty surprised at the amount of "oldschool cold calling boiler rooms" experience you've got in order to say it describes them perfectly. I guess if one's idea of "oldschool" is Dickensian, it may be an apt description, barring that, I thought it was an example of Hollywood aggrandizement and over-exaggeration in order to make an engaging movie.

I only say "old-school" because there isn't much cold calling these days as compared to email spam and mail spam.


Telephones are for old people.


Young people have cellphones and/or screen their calls.

I've been thinking about that movie this whole time. Especially in conjunction with this thread. Hence my non-sequitur reply, if anyone was wondering.

Oh, I had missed that reply. Good stuff. I wouldn't mind starting my own poker room, online or off....would be fun.


OH, and the casino is not underground, It's above ground :)
