The Bet!

From a November 14th email:

"Given the season is early I suggest the following set of wagers................I pick Kings you pick Lakers for the following: The team that has a better record at ALL STAR break wins a 2005 NBA All Star Game piece of memorabilia (shirt, hat, ball, etc. you could be creative). The team with the best record at the end of season wins a bottle of wine. The team that goes furthest in the playoffs wins dinner (if one of our teams; yours does not make the playoffs a local newspaper stating Lakers fall short; Kings fall short; signed by the losing party and then perm plaque for display and presented at dinner would be appropriate.

We'll see you on Thursday.........are you bringing your reverse mortgage papers?

Take care,

Jason"

Any comments on this unfortunate and somewhat arrogant bet?
