This concludes the horse track arc. When I find another good theme I'll share with you all. It's been fun!

I read this differently than others in the comments:

This just shows Everett walking away. He doesn't need tons of money, let alone ill gotten gains from money that he had borrowed or stolen to use.

This is Everett saying "fuck off."

I saw it this way too. Money is important for stability which is why he looks so glum, instead of taking the payout of a lifetime he did the right thing in his eyes and walked away. I know I would have a lot of conflicted feelings if I were in his shoes.

I read it as Everett made a killing, then had to leave town real quick.

Although suppose another read might be he took the bet, was scammed/misinformed, then couldn't even afford a train ticket home.
