He would rather play his freecell game.

Also, I suspect the guy's $300 dollar bet was that he could play a certain number of Freecell games without losing. I have won up to 3000 Freecells games in a row before recording a lose.

Of course, all the guy had to do was finish the one game, close Freecell, and let the tech do his stuff. The guy was an SC.

Tell him to press Ctrl-Shift-F10, then he can easily win his bet .

Freecell doesn't record a loss when a game is closed by the system closing down, only if you choose to close it down.

Makes it very easy to cheat at his bet - as long as he doesn't lose outright he can just close stalemate games down that way.

He does know that those freecell dollars don't pay out right?

Freecell doesn't have a money total (only solitaire).

Personally I'd let someone I trust remote access my computer. They do that occasionally at work and I think it's like magic (but thet get very annoyed because I have my work computer set up perfectly for me, but it's very hard for anyone else to work out what's what).
