This is what I found, "The characters often say '23 80', which refers
to the $23.80 fixed weekly payment to WPA workers; so if you bet '23
80', you are betting a lot."
This was in a customer review on Amazon.com for the dvds. Skip ahead
to the reviews for the part quoted above. It is a ways down in the
first review.

Here's another to look at that is more specific to the WPA and how
much $$ that was back then.
