The irony of Smiley's bet on Parson Walker's wife lies in the fact that he wagered on her ability to win a race, believing she would be an easy target due to her perceived lack of intelligence and physical capability. However, the outcome revealed that she was not only able to run but also that Smiley's confidence was misplaced, highlighting the unpredictability of his bets and the folly of underestimating others based on appearances or assumptions. This twist underscores themes of surprise and the folly of arrogance in gambling.
