Famous bar bets [ edit ]

Enforceability [ edit ]

In a jurisdiction, bar bets may or may not legally binding. Especially 🧬 if gambling is illegal in the winning party's jurisdiction, it may difficult to have a court enforce the bet. [8] 🧬 A written contract, drawn up soberly the next day and signed by both parties, can avoid doubt.

For example, if one 🧬 or both parties are intoxicated when the bet is made, they may be found to lack capacity to agree to 🧬 a contract, and the contract thus found void or voidable.[9]

However, the fact that the agreement is oral but not written 🧬 does not undermine it: oral contracts are valid,[10] though certain contracts must be written, under the statute of frauds, such 🧬 as for the transfer of land.[11]
