1. Disagree on an Empirically Provable Future Event
3. Set the terms of the bet exactly and have multiple third parties verify the claim and counterclaim
4. Put it in writing; signed by both parties.
5. Wager a non trivial amount of capital
6. Place equal amounts of risked capital into a 3rd party custodial/escrow account
7. Each bettor chooses how to invest their stake (in other words, I can put it on a 6% return ETF and you can go all in on penny stocks)
8. After the time is up, whoever’s prediction came true claims all of the funds in the account.
