a fun PR bet

when you play on line, or play a match that you know will be recorded and analyzed, here is a fun and interesting bet you can make:

at the end of each game, each player guesses what his PR will be for that game. Player A guesses his own PR and declares it, and his opponent guesses what he thinks Player A's PR was. Then you do the same for Player B.

You simply bet on who comes closer. And of course, you can make that bet as well on the entire match PR.

Another thing I like is this: over/under bet. At the end of the match, I state a PR, say, 5.5, and you can bet whether I am over or under that PR. And then you do the same on your PR...you set a number and I can choose to bet whether you were over or under.

You can also make the same kind of bet watching a streamed match. I once watched a match with a top player and thought he played very poorly and mentioned that and I bet he played over 4 PR. Turns out he played 3.8 and I lost the bet.
