I'd take a 3W, 7i and SW. Although most people don't believe it, your 3W goes nearly as far as your 1W. You can putt with the blade of your 7i or SW, whichever has a flatter sole. It's not nearly as hard as you think it is. Just practice it for like 5 minutes before the round.
I often play with a "Sunday bag" in which I carry only about 5-6 clubs. At your skill level (mine is similar), you'll be surprised at how little your game is affected by having half of your clubs missing. For mid/high handicappers, our iron distances are so inconsistent that we are kidding ourselves to think that we really NEED the 6i instead of the 5i. In some cases, it simplifies your decision-making to the point that you'll stop trying to get cute and just hit the shot. Plus, you'll get very comfortable hitting shots with your SW (or whatever your shortest club is) and by the end of the round you should be very confident with it.
Take the bet. Choose a hilly course with long walks between holes. You'll do well.

That's pretty much my reasoning for wanting the bet.
