A friend and I have been betting eachother for a few years, usually on sports, and the prize is either a lunch or movie. It seems like I have won every bet, although I must have lost one or two. Understandably, my friend has gotten a little wary of betting with me. It started out with straight bets, but when he didn’t want to bet anymore, I had to sweeten the deal and let him choose the team. That is sometimes enough to entice him to take the bet. The latest bet was about the Red Sox and Yankees. He chose the Yankees. I won a 2/3-pound burger at Fuddruckers. Our next bet involves the Lakers (me) and the Suns: who will have the better record. He almost conceded today like Kerry after he watched the Lakers win their season-opener. 🙂
