Beth Raymer (Rebecca Hall) leaves her dancing job at a Florida strip club to become a Las Vegas cocktail waitress. In walks Dink (Bruce Willis), a professional sports bettor who sees through her bubbly exterior and offers her a job placing wagers all over town to gain an advantage over the casinos. Her surprisingly impeccable mind for numbers soon cements her status as Dink`s good-luck charm, until his gorgeous-but-frigid wife, Tulip (Catherine Zeta-Jones) , starts to get jealous. Faced with no other choice but to fire Beth, Dink`s luck runs out when she heads to New York to work for a smarmy bookie, a turn of events that lands her squarely on the wrong side of the law. Based on a true story, Lay The Favorite is a heartfelt comedy of finding friendship in the least likely places.
