I made a throw away comment to a work colleague if scotland won against france id pay him £100?

Now he is holding me to it. As there was technichally no actual agreed bet, ie; there was nothing in it for me should they not win. should I pay?

Answers:
NO WAY!
It was an off "handed comment" and not a 'bet' since the other person didn't offer to match the money should they lose.
no, there was no agreed bet..
Yes put your money where your big mouth is! That'll teach you for underestimating the power of the Tartan Army!
NO WAY. Tell him his money is in a tin box under a big tree in the big field 3 miles south of Glasgow. Happy hunting
give him his money,,,,,and well done scotland.
well it depends what your words were. if u said, i'll give u £100 if scotland beat france, then yeah u have to pay up, but otherwise i think you're safe.
But, never bet against Scotland, we always try and come good.
Have to
mwhahahahahahahahaha

£100 pound down aint ya

see if it was me and you never paid id kick it out of you

mwhahahahahahahahahahaha
Think you should really think before you speak the next time!
Yes you should pay. Take it as an expensive lesson in the evils of gambling. At least you didn`t loose your house over this daft bet. In future if you are going to partake in stupid bets, use something you can afford to lose. Like the WIFE!!
If you'd made a throwaway comment like that to me I wouldn't expect you to pay up. But I know some really tight bstards that would try to hold you to it. Buy him a beer and tell him to bugger off!
There is no contractual obligation, as there was no agreement to trade.
Cough up the readies kiddo
Get your money out BIGMOUTH.fannyballs.
Pay Up!!!!!!! You should have known SCOTLAND would win
You have actually made a verbal contract, if there are witnesses then you should pay up.

I often make such bets with friends (but not as expensive as yours) normally of the result of a sporting tournament, for example the last world cup cost me a meal for 4 at a local Chinese restaurant.
It depends. If you are a good honest sportsman then yes.
If on the other hand you are a mean b****d, then, no.
Pay up you tight bigmouth cockney t*sser-
P.S.-I hope you remember betting me that Ingerlaaand would beat the mighty FYR Macedonia-coming round to your house to collect very SOON!
No handshake, no bet. Tell him to **** off! If he didn't agree to it at the time, no agreement was actually made.
Go on tight a**e pay up!!!!! We always win eventually
in future keep your foot in your mouth.
PAY UP !!!

PUDDING
Yes, you should honour the bet. That'll teach you for disparaging my lads.
