    The announcer sounded like Rich Strike just popped into our dimension through a wormhole.

    But the announcer being surprised and the shock in his voice when Rich Strike took the lead made the moment even better.

    I don't think we would have been able to do it without that deep anger inside of him

    He called in on a landline. To an AM radio station. Horses don't know how to facetime for Pete's sake.

    He didn't lose; he got to keep millions in furniture sales for his promotion. His bets are like paying an insurance premium, which is what he used to do before insurance companies stopped taking the risk. He comes out better when he loses his bets. The payout on a winning bet is just to breakeven for furniture refunds. If he loses then he's just out on the money he wagered which is significantly less than the refund amount if he had won.

    not mention the free advertising he gets by all the coverage he gets when he makes these bets.
