Also, if someone says to you "I'll bet you $20 I can <whatever>", what they're really saying is "I'm going to do <whatever>, and it'll be super interesting and fun for all involved, especially if you put in $20 so as to add an element of risk to the proceedings".
The expectation is that some other night, you can bet them $20 about some interesting thing you can do.
