First of all, DO NOT believe the synopsis on this site. It's described her as this: "Four losers borrow money from gangsters to bet on a "sure thing", but lose. The gangsters go after them to get their money." This is completely wrong. The only true statement about it is that four losers borrow money from gangsters to bet on a "sure thing." Not once in this movie do the gangsters go after them to get their money.
This isn't the world's best movie ever, but it's not that bad, either. This movie features four "Lovable Losers" who are trying to win it big at the racetrack. They get an inside tip from someone who works at the track, and try to come up with the money to make a big bet so they can finally win big. When they can't come up with the money by themselves, they have to resort to going to the mob to borrow enough money (telling the mob they're planning on opening a hot dog stand). Then they find out that the "sure thing" is just a scam, and three of them have to stop their buddy from placing the bet before it's too late.
Some of the highlights of this movie include the opening credits, with Tim Conway rapping with Ice-T; Stella Stevens' character talking to Tim Conway's character about how he reminds her of an ex named Lyle Dorf (could be a shout out to Tim Conway's Dorf character), and Tim Conway trying to fix a malfunctioning bathtub. The ending credits song, "The Longshot," performed by Irene Cara is pretty catchy, too.
