Betting the Ponies

Eric Assadourian and Emad Tahtouh apparently have swapped a percentage of each other. Assadourian recently walked by Tahtouh's table to check on Tahtouh's progress.

"How's my horse going?" he asked Tahtouh.

"How's my horse going?" Tahtouh responded.

The two discussed the merits of calling another player a "horse" if the swap is only 1%. Finally Assadourian asked Tahtouh if Tahtouh thinks Assadourian is a lucky player.

"Yeah, I'd say so," said Tahtouh.

"Well then I've given you 1% of my luck," replied Assadourian. Tahtouh seemed to like that, suggesting that Assadourian is 70% luckier than average. Both are doing well so far today. Tahtouh has 38,200 and Assadourian has 49,000.
