Brambles and Pigs
One evening out at a village hall (a party of some description) with my mates we bet one of our mates that he wouldn't roll down a nearby hill that was covered in brambles... He did, collecting a cool £1 off each of us so about £7 (yes 1 whole English pound each!).
We bet he wouldn't do it again... he did.

On another evening out clubbing with mostly the same mates a few of us spotted a young lady with more than a passing resemblence to a pig (think it was nostrils that did it).
We said to our other mates that if they pulled her we'd each pay them £10, with 4 of us putting up the money a whole £40 was at stake.
Then out of the blue one of our contenders pulls a women that made our pig look like a young Pamela Anderson in comparison. Not wanting to offend, but she was truly ugly and proportioned like your stereotypical American.
He then comes up demanding the money, "Nay" say we, she was not the bet. Had he said how much for her before hand we'd probably doubled the money, but as it was we got to enjoy that priceless moment for free.

Someone should probably come up with a graph showing a correlation between number of pints drunk and number of stupid bets made

But correlation does not prove causation.
