Is a bet between two people legally binding?
Or does the fact that this may be gambling, mean that the contract is void?
Answer:
No contract is valid if it violates the law, and in most places those bets violate the law.
most likely you will not get a judge to enforce the bet for many reasons
A contract against public policy is not enforceable against either party. Against public policy is classified as so aggregious as to offend the conscienceness of society, such as child labor, or an illegal act, such as gambling where the act itself is illegal.
As a bet, in most cases, is against the law, such a contract is unenforceable.
it could be upheld in court if the contract is signed by the people involved and also a witness. in addition, if it can be proven that the contract was signed while everyone was in good mental health (ie: not at deaths door or totally drunk, etc.) then its legal
No bet is legaly binding UNLESS you sign a official document. So no, the bet is probaly not legaly binding
actually yes...if you can have them admit to making an agreement, even if it is verbal it is a legally binding contract ;)
