You cannot read. Searles puts up $55, to match the $55 he won. So in essence he is putting up $110. Vegas puts up nothing. So Vegas can win $110, Searles cannot win anything since its all his money, although he can win clearing his name. Now, they each might want to escrow more money with Druff to make it worth their while, but at a minimum Vegas can win $110 with no risk. After years of talking about this, its a great outcome for everyone.
