A lot of smart players who can evaluate positive EV played this promotion. Nobody questions that Mike Shackleford is both smart and can evaluate positive EV. So what's to be very surprised about? Or rather, very, very surprised about?

Not that it matters, of course, and I don't think I mentioned it in the article, but both Shack and I ended up ahead on this play. And we both have earned Premium cards that are good for the next "semi-juicy" promotion there if and when it comes. So we evaluated it as positive before we played, won playing it, and are set up well for the next promotion. Seems pretty undeniable that that's successful gambling by almost anybody's standards.
