    Problem is Everett never figured out he should be angry at the gambling industry, for using probability to fleece the majority - or the horse racing industry for their cruelty, whipping horses, too much tavel time, and killing horses so regularly.

    They’re contemptible industries - even today.

      Yeah this is the third time he’s run into gambling issues, you’d think he’d learn by now

      What is tavel time? it’s really hard to Google it and “tavel” alone seems to be a wine. It’s either something specific to horse racing or a typo, but I’m really curious. either way.
