If you’re betting with a friend that they won’t have chicken for dinner, what’s to stop them from having chicken for dinner? What if you bet with a complete stranger who also took the reverse of that bet from your friend?

Nothing, that is why you quickly learn to not make stupid bets like that. If you don’t learn, then I guess survival of the fittest and all that.
