When Matt said he would bet against Rory without even knowing which of the two Rory picked, in effect, he was saying that with a 50/50 choice on a really tough play, Rory was more likely to get it wrong.
This part is not entirely accurate. I had no idea what the score or position was, whether it was simple or not, or how many choices there were. So I was in effect betting that since Rory had offered to bet, he was more likely to be wrong than right.
So I went along with the bet also. Then I made my play, and we asked Rory what he would do, and he bet on the other play. My play was right by a lot! It was only $10, but it was sure a fun way to win it!
Phil bet Rory $10 against his play, also without knowing what it was. Phil announced his play, Rory whispered his play to Phil (disagreeing with Phil), I announced my play (agreeing with Phil), and we checked the bot. Phil & I won $10 and Phil's play was clear.
The score (after 0 games) is: White 0, Blue 0 (match to 7 points)
