Re: how big a scumbag is my friend? you decide
Those that are calling it an "angleshoot" are wrong because he's not using some technicality to demand his money. The bet is clear as day, so its not an "angleshoot," its "enforcing the outcome" or "following the rules" or "paying the winner" or whatever else you want to call it.
If you want to argue that he should have understood that there was a misunderstanding - how that could be, I don't know, the bet really is THAT clear - fine. And if you think he should let his buddy slide because of the misunderstanding and the reaction demanding the money will provoke, fine, and I agree with that. But it doesn't sound to me like he's being shady or manipulative or anything like that when it comes down to the actual bet. Its just the sand in the crack of his buddies and their idiocy that's causing the friction.
