He offered a bet, I accepted. Its not my responsibility to clarify the terms if I feel that they are fully understood. The onus is not on me to try to either A. talk him out of the bet or B. make the terms more friendly or him. The bet was offered and I fully understood what he was offering as it was written in plain english. I did not deviate from those terms trying to hide anything or angle shoot, I didnt deviate because those were the terms of the bet!

I said it last night and I will say it again. 90% of bets are taken on the premise that the offering party makes a stupid offer. Vegas made a stupid offer and I accepted. I conveyed that I thought it was a moronic offer by my intial $1,000,000 proposal. When I realized he was serious, I let him off of the hook at $500. I even at one point offered him an olive branch telling him I wasnt even being serious and was surprised he took it as such. He continually insisted on the bet so I accepted.
