Can someone please explain to me the ending of rounder’s mike has 10000 loaned to him by his professor, he doubles that against teddy kgb, then doubles it again to make 40000, how does he have 30000 after paying back the 15 he owes, repaying the professor 10, and 6 to the chesterfield.. That makes 9 grand for himself, i don’t get it. Also another thing i noticed about the movie is that mike suddenly got a car to drive to the taj andBinghamton… How did that happen???
Answer 1:
I’m pretty sure that you can rent cars in NYC. As far as the money goes, I’m not sure but I think he says “I’m right back where I started”, meaning that he has the 15 grand he had at the beginning of the movie. He lost 30 or so grand to KGB in the nines full vs. aces full but he had won 15 of that that night. I’m not sure, but I’m certain that it’s unimportant.
Answer 2:
After he doubles his 10K, they continue to play and it is no longer a freeze out. They double the blinds and he tells KGB “feel free to reload” When it is over Mike says in one of those internal monologues that he “turned his 10K into 60K” so he paid off the professor, the debt to KGB and theChesterfieldand had 30K left.
Answer 3:
One — the final game in Rounder’s is not shown in “real time”. Mike tells Teddy to feel free to reload at any time, so we have to assume that Teddy rebought in one time that we don’t see. Two. As I understand it, there are many companies that will rent a person an automobile. This is a new kind of company and perhaps they don’t have them where you are.
