The gambling world definately has a loss without Knievel. I remember this story from the USA Today...

That wasn't the case one day a long time ago at a dog track in Tampa, recalls close friend and golf partner, Paul Blanda. Evel found the biggest underdog on four legs and slapped down $10,000, triggering an odds drop from 50-1 to 1-5. "I said, 'Evel, what did you do?' " Blanda recalls. "He said, 'If I'm gonna win, I'm gonna bet on the long shot.' I told him it wasn't the way you bet at the track."
