Did I miss something? I think he never told Gloria that he got her on Jeopardy.
I know the movie's about gambling, but certain things were stupid - why did Billy go to Sidney to help him get Gloria back? I know that you can always go to a friend, but when Sidney said that he would help him, Billy jumped in the air out of happiness - LOL, why? He didn't know what Sidney could do to help him. He acted as if Sidney could guarantee get her back.
Then second, she leaves him because she hates his gambling issue. Just days before she wins on JEOPARDY? LOL.
At the beginning of the movie she was presented as a women thats after money - why would she hate gambling anyway?

Because Sidney Was a man who could make things happen and knew people. Billy knew this and probably knew about his security guard friend.

She was portrayed as someone who only cares about money because they had the Stooky Bros chasing them trying to kill them COS they owed money...So Their whole lives revolved around trying to get money to pay them back.
She wanted to stop living the hustler life style...She wanted billy to get a real job. This is made clear when they are in bed talking after she wins on jeopardy.

So Sidney knows people, but what would he do besides getting her on the show? And he only did it because he knew someone who works there.
I didn't even notice that small piece until I watched the scene recently. But Billy going to Sidney to help him get Gloria back came out of the blue.
Even the way Woody Harrelson acted - he jumps out of the car and when Sidney tells him that me might be able to help, he explodes out of happiness. It kind of fits because part of the reason she left him, was Sidney. But it's a strange part of the movie because nothing suggests that Sidney has a magic stick even if he's a cool guy.
The only thing I can think of is that Billy thought he could make some major money by teaming up with Sidney again and get her back by showing her the money he made LOL.
Good movie nonetheless.

And we must mention that Billy had to make a near impossible shot for Gloria to actually get on Jeopardy. Sidney simply knew the guy who could get Gloria on.
They're only noodles, Michael!
