[In the film, Matthew is Brandon Lane, a former college football player with a knack for sports betting.] The guy was a quarterback, no longer able to play football because he blows his knee out, ... He ends up running a tallying service. He's the best picker in the world, he has an 82% winning percentage -- unheard of in that field. It's a shady little business he's in, there's a lot of shadows. Matthew McConaughey
