The number hit! West Indian Archie's argument wasn't that it didn't hit. In the bar, Archie accused Malcolm of not betting on 821 (which he absolutely did). Towards the end of the movie, Archie asked if Malcolm really bet 821 (meaning the number hit but he was again questioning whether or not Malcolm had the bet). It may have not been true in real life, but just based on the fictitious representation in the film, Archie was willing to kill Malcolm, not because he lied, but to defend his reputation.
