A man need to prove his word, even it's just a small thing or a joke, agreement is still an agreement.

It's depend on you whether you want to take this as serious thing or not, if you really want the snack, you can ask for it, you're not wrong.

But, if I were you, I will let it go because if he can't be trusted with small amount, how I can trust him with big amount or working together? for me the "snack" is the price to know his character.

But it made me wonder— Imagine if friends bet with large amounts of money, it could really ruin their friendship if one of them doesn’t fulfill the deal.
I do not see any reason friends should be betting with huge amount of money. They can just use small amount of money, or lose should pay for food in an eatery or restaurant for the betting. They should bet for fun and not a way to make money from themselves. I see using huge amount to bet as stupidity. I can not bet like that.

Also if two people bet, the money should be with someone who is the third person. It will be their mediator.

I have never made such a deal with a friend or anyone, but one thing I want to ask you is whether at the beginning of the deal you reassured him whether he would keep the promise he had said or not? But even if you don't ask about it, I think it should be his obligation to keep the promise when the team he chose loses.

Besides, on the other hand, I think there is nothing wrong if you remind him of the promise when he loses at the end of the game, because anyway there would be no reason for him to avoid it when you both have made a previous agreement, but if the amount of money at stake is quite large then I think avoiding the promise of the agreement should not happen.

If you remember and you guys have already left the place to me, I could have suggested you remind him of it and pay for the next snacks in case next time you both will also enter another betting where the price will be higher and he wins against you, the one that you consider small and did not honour will be an excuse for him not to honour the agreement.

During the last Real Madrid game, I bet my friend that if Real Madrid lost, he would pay for the snacks, and if Lille won, I would do the same. As you know, Real Madrid lost, but when the game ended, I was too shy to remind him to honor the agreement. He forgot about the bet and talked to me like nothing had happened. I didn’t bring it up since it was just a small thing Grin. But it made me wonder— Imagine if friends bet with large amounts of money, it could really ruin their friendship if one of them doesn’t fulfill the deal. Have you ever experienced a similar situation with someone you know? How did it end? Wink
