• Ridiculous Gambling Strategies So Far. Many gamblers carry superstitions to the casino, not as spiritual beliefs per se, but as gambling strategies.They're placed side by side with purely tactic based 'never-play-low-connectors' kind of strategies and passed off eventually as gambling strategies.
• Junket: VIP Junket Operators prepare package tours to high-roller gamblers. Casinos usually pay the travel costs and accommodation fees of VIP players while forcing them to play at their casinos for a minimum designate time. In Macau, the Junket system is one of the main features of the gambling industry.

Plot[edit]

Ridiculous Gambling Sites

In the Old West, Tommy (Adam Sandler), known as 'White Knife' by the American Indian tribe who raised him after his mother was murdered, is to marry a member of the tribe named Smoking Fox (Julia Jones) as arranged by his adoptive father Chief Screaming Eagle (Saginaw Grant). Following a run-in with Will Patch (Will Forte) and his Left-Eye Gang, who have all removed their right eye, as well as a one-eyed food proprietor named Clem (Steve Zahn), Tommy is visited by a bank robber named Frank Stockburn (Nick Nolte) who claims to be his biological father. Frank tells Tommy that he is dying of consumption and had amassed $50,000 buried in a meadow, which he offers to Tommy and his tribe.

The next day, a group of bandits led by the ruthless Cicero (Danny Trejo) come to the village and want Frank to give them his 'big score.” Frank has the bandits kidnap him so he can lead them to the money at the so-called 'Singing Windmill', in return for the bandits not attacking Tommy or the Natives. After searching the meadow Tommy is unable to find the stash of money and sets off on a quest to steal the amount needed and save his father.

During his journey, Tommy discovers that he has 5 half-brothers: Mexican burro rider Ramon (Rob Schneider) whose innkeeper mother had a fling with Frank; mentally challenged yet happy-go-lucky Lil' Pete (Taylor Lautner) whose strong neck makes him immune to hanging; feral mountain-man Herm (Jorge Garcia) who speaks incomprehensibly and helped his mother sell their moonshine; Drunkard, Danny (Luke Wilson), the former bodyguard of Abraham Lincoln (Dan Patrick) who is guilt-ridden from accidentally leading John Wilkes Booth (Chris Kattan) to murder the president; and African-American saloon pianist Chico (Terry Crews) who confesses to being half-White.

Meanwhile, having joined the Left-Eye Gang at the cost of his only functional eye, Clem helps the bandits abduct Smoking Fox. She escapes due to Clem's blindness and begins searching for Tommy and his brothers, now known as the Ridiculous 6.

After meeting Chico and Danny, the brothers have a run in with Chico's boss, sociopathic saloon owner, Smiley Harris (Harvey Keitel), who was part of Frank's gang until Frank stole his cut of their biggest score and left him to die at the windmill. When Smiley attempts to kill the brothers out of revenge against Frank, he ends up being unintentionally decapitated by Ramon. The group later encounters Abner Doubleday (John Turturro) who is developing baseball with some Chinese immigrants.

The Left-Eye Gang soon catch up to the Ridiculous 6 while the latter are relaxing in a pond. The gang overpowers the brothers and steals their loot. Through Herm's ramblings, translated by Tommy, the brothers then decide to rob a gambling game in Yuma hosted by Ezekiel Grant (Jon Lovitz) and attended by Mark Twain (Vanilla Ice) and General George Armstrong Custer (David Spade). The brother's succeed, though Wyatt Earp (Blake Shelton) nearly jeopardizes their plan, and set off to ransom their father.

On the way, the Ridiculous 6 come across the Left-Eye Gang who have been left to die in the desert by Cicero. Tommy and the brothers rescue Will and his gang and reclaim the $50,000 they had stolen from them. That evening, Tommy sees a photograph carried by Danny that proves Cicero is the one who murdered his mother and sets off alone to rescue his father and confront the bandit leader. After meeting with Cicero and paying the ransom, Tommy confronts Cicero just and gets his revenge on his mother's killer.

The half-brothers, who followed Tommy along with the Left-Eye Gang, have a reunion with their long-lost father. When Frank learns his sons exceeded his expectations by amassing $100,000, he reveals that he masterminded his abduction. But Tommy counters that his group had a Plan B: a hidden bomb inside the bag containing the ransom money. When the bomb explodes and commotion ensues, Frank runs off to a mine with Smoking Fox as his hostage. Tommy runs after them and successfully rescues his bride-to-be and captures his father.

Back in the Native Village, Tommy weds Smoking Fox with his brothers in attendance. Since the revelation that their biological father Frank Stockburn was no more than a two-bit crook, Screaming Eagle decides to adopt all the half-brothers as he did with Tommy. The Left-Eye Gang revealed that they lied about removing their right eyes, much to the anger of Clem.

Production[edit]

The Ridiculous 6 had been in production by Columbia Pictures, Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros., but was dropped by all three.^[3][4] The latter dropped out soon after Adam Sandler and Happy Madison Productions signed a four-picture deal with Netflix, although an insider noted to The Hollywood Reporter that the deal had nothing to do with their decision.^[4]

By January 2015, Netflix picked up the film with others joining the cast including Taylor Lautner, Nick Nolte, Blake Shelton, Steve Buscemi, Rob Schneider, Will Forte, Vanilla Ice and Luke Wilson.^[3] On February 16, 2015, Jorge Garcia joined the cast.^[3]Principal photography began on February 20, 2015, and ended on May 2, 2015.^[5][6]

Controversy[edit]

On April 23, 2015, Indian Country Today Media Network reported that approximately 'a dozen Native actors and actresses, as well as the Native cultural advisor, left the set of Adam Sandler’s newest film production, The Ridiculous Six' in protest of its portrayal of the Apache culture.^[7] The New York Daily News later reported that there were only four who left, out of over 100 Native American actors on the set.^[8]Navajo Nation tribal members Loren Anthony and film student Allison Young said they left because they felt the film portrayed Native Americans in a negative light and took satire too far. They also complained that the portrayal of women was degrading.^[9][10] A representative of Netflix responded saying, 'The movie has ridiculous in the title for a reason: because it is ridiculous. It is a broad satire of Western movies and the stereotypes they popularized, featuring a diverse cast that is not only part of—but in on—the joke.'^[11]

On May 4, 2015, the New York Daily News reported that Ricky Lee, one of the Native American actors on the Ridiculous 6 set, said previous news reports were exaggerated and indeed there were only 'four actors who left, but there were 150 extras, including grandmas and grandpas and children, who kept working.' Apparently, before the film's wrap party, he and several other actors were approached by Sandler to speak about the controversy. Lee considered that those who left raised legitimate issues but it was 'the wrong battlefield.'^[8]

Justin Chang of Variety wrote: 'The scenery ain't bad but the laughs are tumbleweed-sparse in 'The Ridiculous 6,' a Western sendup so lazy and aimless, it barely qualifies as parody.'^[15]Mike McCahill of The Guardian gave it 2 out of 5 and wrote: 'Peer through this dopey haze long enough, and you can't fail to notice the cavalier racial attitudes, the endlessly pliable women; you'd have every right to be outraged, were it not now par for the Sandler course.'^[16]

Michael Jordan is, among many other things, a legendary competitor and gambler, so this absurd story from former Blackhawks player Jeremy Roenick should surprise no one.

During an appearance on 670 The Score, Roenick told a tale from Jordan’s first three-peat with the Bulls, when the Bulls legend invited Roenick out for a round of golf on the morning of a game day. Roenick had the day off, so he visited Sunset Ridge Country Club and won a few thousand dollars off Jordan during his round. The rest of the story is epic.

“This was like end of the season for us, end of the season for them. I get a call from Michael, ‘meet me at Sunset Ridge early, we’re going to go play 18 holes.’ We didn’t have a game, we actually had a day off. So I meet him at Sunset Ridge… we played a round, beat him for a couple thousand, and I’m getting ready to leave. Now, the Bulls are playing that night. They play Cleveland, that night. So I’m thinking he’s leaving, it’s 10:00, he’s like ‘no, let’s go play again.’

So we fill up a bag full of ice and Coors Light and we walk again. We roll around another 18 and I take him for another couple. We’ve been drinking all afternoon. Now he’s going from Sunset Ridge to the stadium to play a game.

And I’m like messing around, I’m like ‘I’m going to call my bookie, all the money you just lost to me I’m putting on Cleveland tonight.’

He goes ‘I’ll tell you what. I’ll bet you that we win by 20 points and I have more than 40.’ I’m like ‘done.’

Son of a gun goes out, scores 52 and they win by 26 or something… after holes of golf and having maybe 10 Bud Lights. The man, to me, is the best athlete that I’ve ever seen.”

Roenick estimates that the game in question happened around 1992-1993, so he’s likely talking about the Cavs-Bulls game on March 28th, 1992, when Jordan dropped 44 points and the Bulls won 126-102.
