Final game/hustle - odds?


Billy's 2K capital somehow turns into enough money for Billy to pay the Stookie brothers the 7 thousand they owe and for Sidney to "move in a week".

How'd that happen? Obviously they must have had much better than 1:1 odds?

Still no idea?

I have wondered this myself. The only thing I can think of is this. Sydney asks Billy if he has any money. Billy says that he has 2 grand.

Each game against the King and the Duck is $2,500. They play and win. They are up $2,500. They play again double of nothing. They are now up $5,000. Perhaps they play again double of nothing. Billy dunks it, they win 10,000. Billy now has $5,000 plus$1,000 of his own money. Maybe Sydney floats him a grand. Billy pays off the bad guys.

Only thing that makes sense.

Can't imagine them winning 3 straight games against them. Must have been some sort of hustle for big odds, 10 to 1 or something.

he owed them 3k not 7
