Mr. Farr appears to be kind of goofy, paranoid and not what I would consider a good caregiver or keeper of the animals that depend upon him, given his previous posts and admissions. As Lucille said, KS readers also frequent this site so hopefully your warning will reach them as well.

Actually the bet (or wager) was a contract, so it should be taken seriously. IMHO.

What is WAGER?
A wager is a contract by which two or more parties agree that a certain sum of money or other thing shall be paid or delivered to one of them on the happening of an uncertain event or upon the ascertainment of a fact which is in dispute between them. Trust Co. v. Goodrich, 75 111. 500; Jordan v. Kent, 44 How. Prac. (N. Y.) 207; Winward v. Lincoln, 23 R. I. 476, 51 Atl. 106, 64 L. R. A. 160; Edson v. Pawlet, 22 Vt 293; Woodcock v. McQueen, 11 Ind. 15. A contract in which the parties stipulate that they shall gain or lose upon the happening of an uncertain event in which they have no interest, except that arising from the possibility of such gain or loss. Ferreira v. Gab- ell, S9 Pa. 90; Kitchen v. Loudenback, 48 Ohio St 177, 26 N. E. 979, 29 Am. St. Rep. 540. See, also, BET.
