There's a time and place for a wager between friends, to be sure, but folks, be careful what you put up for stakes. If you can't afford to pay up, don't make that bet. And most importantly, know who you're betting against, because sometimes, even when you win, you still manage to lose.
Just check these folks out and see for yourself.

The good news for this lad is that when life teaches you tough lessons, you're less likely to forget them down the road.
For such an inconsequential thing, the look on that guy's face is priceless. That's a pic that will last forever, long after both phones are obsolete.
Their reward? To get to push him down the hall on a tricycle, with him wearing mismatched clothes inside out.
Pretty inspiring, actually!
And he's already got me beat as well — not bad at all, the guy still has moves, and plenty of core strength!
A victory in principle, but not exactly the wisest financial decision. I guess it established the cost of such a venture for the rest of us, too.
He allowed his friends to officially change his name, but didn't find out it had been accepted until his passport expired.
What a nice surprise!
Can't think of a more appropriate way to lose a bet to a history teacher, to be honest.
And this guy found out the hard way when he bet his roommate the U.S. would win. Hope he didn't have to run far!

Not sure where they go from here, but that's a fantastic 'do to celebrate your win.
I don't know, this guy actually kind of pulls off the pineapple noggin.
Or maybe not. Heck, can you spot Uncle David's hiding spot? These kids will be at it until bed time — which is a pretty ingenious babysitting strategy.
I mean, this welder did technically pay up, forking over a bottle of booze, but not before making it extremely difficult to access.
I'm not sure exactly what she won by that display of contortion, but it's seriously impressive all the same.
"In 2001, my parents bet me that if I did not drink, smoke, or do drugs by 21, they would give me $1500," he wrote. "Here I am on my 21st birthday holding the contract I signed when I was 8."
That's a well earned mess of cash that I suspect his folks were more than happy to fork over.
"Won a bet against my boss nearly a year ago," wrote the uploader. "Came into work to see that he finally paid me...in pennies."
There are ugly Christmas sweaters, and then there are downright uncomfortable Christmas sweaters. I can feel this itching through the screen.
Imagine the whispered conversations among the employees as they tried to put off having that awkward exchange.
How long before they realized that she wasn't planning to move on her own?

Sure, most people will notice the nearly-naked guy who lost a Superbowl bet, but they don't all make international news.
If those texts weren't "HEY LISTEN!!" every five seconds, then those people are doing it wrong.
Something about it being a wedding dress complete with veil really makes it work. Especially considering the look on his face.
That's a pretty well-folded money shirt. I'd definitely keep it folded up like that just to see the look on the barista's face when I paid for my coffee with it.

This guy is just really lucky that whoever won allowed him to keep both his eyebrows when everything else was shaved.

Some bets are good ones.
Also, baby him looks so much younger!

Bonus points to this guy for agreeing to do this on his birthday or all days.
But hey, I hear the mullet is making a comeback.
"Told my girlfriend it was impossible to stand a coin on its side."
Clearly, it's not.

Seriously, though, the Diply office is often freezing and I'd definitely wear something like this to stay warm and comfy.
I mean, who doesn't like him? My love goes all the way back to Breaker High but he'll always be Young Hercules in my heart.
Glad he can smile about it — I would think it would be pretty uncomfortable, even considering all the strange things the TSA sees every day.
Good job, Dad!
She must be a lot taller than him, judging by the amount of hem covering his feet.
This is actually pretty awesome in its own way — and makes me wonder if it inspired a change in wardrobe for the girls upstairs.
"I lost a bet to my boyfriend, Ethan. As a result, I had to make an original rap video about how he is just the best, and post it online for the world to see. I hope you enjoy watching it half as much as I enjoyed making it."
