conv: I bet my cousin that I could beat him at a game of basketball. I bet my cousin that I could beat him at a game of basketball. He's horrible at playing so I knew I could beat him. What did you bet? I bet him $1000 because that's how good I am. I had no doubt in my mind I could win. I ended up obliterating him and taking his shoes too. That would be awesome! Did your cousin pay you?
