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.

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.
