If you have to lose a bet to someone, let it be your wife, since you know you’ll get her back somehow: leaving socks on the floor, leaving the seat up, or something really hilarious like forgetting to pay the mortgage or something like that.
Or you could follow reader Kip’s example on how to properly flesh out a bet. Kip, a huge LSU fan, got zealous and painted the LSU eye on his lawn. His wife insisted that if he had the eye of the tiger on the lawn, she got to have the Ohio State logo. He cut this deal: if they made the national title game, she got her logo.
Et voila! A wild college football season later, Kip’s yard features the ultimate in “House Divided” advertising. You’ll also notice the green “for sale” sign. If anyone’s interested in buying a sweet house with a home theater and hot tub in the Nashville area--and you are an LSU/OSU couple looking for the perfect home--email us and we’ll hook you up. He’ll probably throw in a new paint job for the lawn free.
