hilarious moment from When Harry Met Sally.

- Then she tells you her stories, you tell her your stories.

- [Narrator] Well, this ridiculous rom-com scene

is indicative of a real and very serious sport, which,

believe it or not, introduced society to sport betting.

It was only a matter of time until the aristocrats

started making wagers on whose footman was faster.

Thus, the birth of sport betting as we know it.

Competitive walking grew into a real sporting event,

and reached its peak in the 1870s and 1880s,

Super Bowl-like masses to see people walk competitively.

They even filled up the original Madison Square Garden.

Sometimes races would last up to six days

and the atmosphere was almost festival-like.

Brass bands played, vendors sold pickled eggs,

from celebrities to politicians, even regular folk.

and, as one would, they drank it by the bottle.

One guy walked 136 miles in just 34 hours.
