'to nail' and 'to unload' in context
A woman complains about her financial situation. Her lover says that his financial situation is good. She says: "Sandwich guy told me you nailed the baseball pool". Does it mean that he won a lot of money? Then he adds : "No, really, I'm coming into a little piece of property up in Lancaster myself. I'll probably unload it". Could you paraphrase this conversation for me? What will he unload?
