The Internet has ruined Bets among friends.

I find it hilarious that the first comment of OP chickening out is from someone named Ryan :P
To which you ONLY reply should have been...
Sounds like you completely dropped the ball...
also, the best was that A-list actors weren't in the MCU? Really? The list of MASSIVE names in the MCU is absurd.
edit: yeah, I'm going to need clarification on the bet....because it's baffling...
Like, 20 Oscar winners in the MCU? Sure, that's easy...
over double that for Oscar nominated actors?
or...do none of those qualify as 'A-list actors'?

That was the plan. He's like: "hang on, let me get a drink"
But what's the reason for him not honoring the bet or you calling him out on it?
Wait, I don't get it.
So you shook on it, thereby declaring the bet valid.
The guy then literally ADMITS that you were right.
And the bet....doesn't count? What?
Like, I literally work in the sports betting industry and this is 100% a valid bet between you two. He lost. Drive his car.

You shook hands on it. The deal was in place. Would it still be ok if he came to you 3 weeks later and said 'you almost had me"? There is no time frame on that shit, bet is in play the second your hands part from the hand shake
This is an odd way to react after being nice enough to not hold someone to the bet they just lost.
This has nothing to do with the internet

You should use the Internet to learn how betting works.
Sounds like Ryan is an alpha-level Chad with a sweet ride and massive Googling skills. Understandably intimidating.

Lol. That's probably true.
His reason for not honoring the bet is because he remembered "right away".

Just saying that you can find pretty much any info on the internet. Had this been 1995 he wouldn't have been able to sneak away and come back so quickly to nix the bet.
You allowed him to renege on the bet
Had this been in 1995 he would have won the bet as Matt Damon had not been in an MCU film :)
You should have stood your ground, demanded he honored the bet and call him out for his utter rudeness. If you had to, you should have torn down that whole BBQ with you.
Check out Threads about Avatar Bets on Era, should give you a good baseline for what to do next time! Also, hit the gym?

This is the equivalent of saying "I meant to say put it all on red. Hahaha how silly of me." After losing everything on black. Friends always welsh on stupid bets like that though. I don't know how many times I've said, "if I'm wrong, Rob [another friend] will suck your dick." Rob hasn't paid up once.
If being top cast in one of the highest-grossing franchises of all time doesn't make someone an a-lister I have no fucking idea what the list is even for, Matt Damon cameos notwithstanding
My questions are:
A) Do people really randomly bet money with their friends on meaningless things like whether Matt Damon was in an MCU movie?
B) Your friend won't let you try his car unless you win a bet against him?

Once the handshake is complete, the bet is already made. You just let the dude weasel out. All there is to it.
