...keeping in mind that Gred and Forge were trying to raise money for 
their joke shop. Not only did the seeker/chaser matchups at the Cup 
make this prediction very, very possible, but its oddity also gives 
rise to very high betting odds (i.e. a high return on their 
investment).

With regard to the time-travel theories, I doubt their access to a 
turner much more than their slipping away to use it, but more 
importantly, I don't think they would be making such a big deal out 
of the *unfairness* of their payment if they'd cheated in such a 
fashion. G&F may be pranksters, but they do seem to have honor above 
that of simple thievery.
