Outside Bet (2012)

A group of South London pub pals dream of having the prestige and profit that owning a racehorse brings. When the opportunity comes along, their lives are thrown into turmoil as they struggle to act upon it.

The banter is fun, though; it’s the kind of thing you’d actually overhear in a British pub as you stagger pie-eyed to the pisser.
