Me and my friend made a bet and drew up a rough contract, my friend bet that if he could crack my ebay account password and if he did i would have to buy him an HDMI cable for his new PS3 which he hadent yet purchased and if he cant crack it by they time he buys a PS3 i get a Component Video cable for my yet unpurchased Wii. No here is the problem, in the contract it says that: David must crack password by the time he buys a PS3. He got the PS3 today but gave the money to his sister who made the actuall purchase, he now cliams that the bet is still on and he owes me nothing because he did not purchase a PS3 his sister did he just recived it from her even though it was his money. What do you think? Did he still "buy" a PS3? Do I win? If a lawyer could give their insight it would be really helpful.

He bought it through his sister as an agent of his. So, looks like you get it but may lose a friend.

technically he made the purchase, his sister would qualify as a legal purchasing agent with his authority to buy the goods using his money. There is no loophole, the bet was a bet not a riddle contest. Tell your friend it is time to do the honorable thing and pay up.

I don't know the (legal) answer to your question, but I do have a suggestion...surround yourself with better friends who are sincere and honorable. This dude is a weasel if this is how he operates with his friends.

unless you live in the states of Mississippi, Nevada or new jersey the bet is illegal and unenforceable.
