- Sam's good intentions backfire on him when he doesn't place a risky $1,000 bet for Woody with his bookie, only to have Woody win his bet.
- Frasier is taking stock of his relationship, or ex-relationship with Diane, and although he wants to move on, he isn't dealing with it very well. He and Diane get into several words, none of them kind. Frasier tries to take some solace - very little solace at that - by "hanging out with the guys" who are watching football on this typical Sunday. Woody is having the best time as this week will be the third in a row that he will have won the bar's football pool. Norm offhandedly muses about how much money Woody would have won through real betting. Woody feels mentally ready to do so, and asks Sam, who knows a bookie, to place a $1,000 bet for him, that amount his life savings. Sam is reluctant to do so, even more so when he sees that many of Woody's picks are underdogs, but does agree when Woody seems determined to find anyone to do it for him. The next week, everyone is surprised that Woody actually won his bet, netting him $10,000. But an act by Sam may threaten those winnings, which perhaps can be solved by a certain car or a certain song.—Huggo
- Frasier is still in the throes of getting over his former relationship with Diane. This has resulted in him analyzing her speech patterns, and criticizing her overuse of various words and phrases.
Meanwhile, the guys in the bar have placed bets on a Sunday Night Football Game, and Woody has come out the winner. Norm notes that Woody has been rather lucky, as he's been pretty solid on picking the winner for the last 3 games.
When the musings turn to using a bookie, Sam lets slip that he knows one, and Woody is eager to sink $1000 into the next game. Sam cautions against this, but at Woody's insistence, he agrees to tender the wager to his bookie.
However, Sam does not place the bet, feeling he is saving Woody from making a terrible mistake. Sam in turn, is shocked when Woody's bet would have netted him $10,000, and everyone is anxious for Woody to collect his bet.
Sam tries to stall as long as he can, but finally takes Woody into the bar's office, telling that he didn't place the bet. Surprisingly, Woody takes this incredibly well, but Sam insists that Woody deserves to get angry.
When Sam claims he is willing to make this up to Woody, Woody asks for Sam's Corvette, but Sam is not willing to give his car up. Woody then starts to get angry, but Sam then decides to use a method that Coach used whenever he saw anyone get upset: Sing 'Home on the Range' with someone for 30 minutes.
As Sam and Woody's voices carry out of the office, the others in the bar hear the strains, and sing along with them.
