I see it differently.

I see it as a way to reward/incentivize this other bettor to make the unlikely happen, thanks to his more direct control.

If I lose this bet, I'll feel good about it, because then it means SN is doing better than expected.

Showing up for others is probably a bug. These items are not paid for at all...
