How legally actionable is a “wanna bet?!” challenge in a silly bar argument about like a random bit of trivia?
Like you say Bangladesh is east of India and your friend corrects you and says “you mean west?”
“No, it’s east?”
“No it’s west, my dude lol”
“No im pretty sure it’s east”
“That’s not true, dude”
“Wanna bet, dude?”
“Yes, dude, how much?”
“Fifty dollars” you say, hoping to intimidate him into backing down before agreeing to certain loss.
“Absolutely.” he says
“Shake on it.” You offer your hand up eagerly without hesitation, hoping again to intimidate him into backing down before he agrees to absolutely hand you that much money.
He shakes on it.
He pulls out his phone and checks it, finding within seconds how wrong he was.
If he’s salty and refuses to pay, is that breach of oral contract?
Gambling debts aren’t legally actionable at all.
