When betting something they own do they have to be serious. Let’s say Bob the Gambler challenges his mundane friend steve to a a game of cards and convinces steve to bet his life. Steve shakes on it thinking his friend is pulling his leg. He loses. Does he die?
The simple answer above is perfect. Though I would like to share a bit more. What would be more likely to happen (because its more horrible this way) Steve feels hollow for a good long while. While his, buddy Bob feels unbeatable. Bob might have a few ways of spending Steve’s life. 1) When its Bob’s time Steve buys the farm instead. 2) Steve suddenly wakes up in an Alley way with no memories or possessions while Bob wakes up next to Steve’s beautiful wife and is treated exactly like shes always been married to Bob and etc, etc or 3rd and also my favorite. Steve feels no different and Bob is confused as well until Bob asks Steve to go get him a beer and Steve can’t help but obey and of course lastly and more boring in my opinion is Steve joins the quire invisible right there at the card table. So I ask you to think on it. What’s life exactly? But yes, they can collect on anything someone foolishly bets them. This is one of the reason why the Sleepers do what they do.
I’ll try through analogy.
Bob has a gun. He tells Steve it’s not loaded. Steve believes Bob. Bob puts the gun against Steve’s head and pulls the trigger. The bullet explodes Steve’s head like a Guy Fawk’s pumpkin.
Bob lied and Steve is dead.
