Rather than the Scrooge connection, this episode reminded me more of the movie The Gunfighter (1950). The idea that others will always want to challenge him to prove that they are better than the best. And that they will find out what the "reward" is for being the best.
There's a song by Bobby Bare called "The Winner" that plays on this theme too. It's about everything that you get by being "the winner".

Looks like this episode was remade in the '80s reboot with Esai Morales as Cardiff and Maury Chaykin as Fats. Has anyone seen it and how does it compare?
