So me and my friend bet 100 dollars on something.....he was convinced his car was a hybrid and I told him it wasn't, lol....we both shook hands and bet 100 bucks, and we had our mechanic friend confirm that his car was NOT a hybrid!
I told him he didn't have to pay me, but he's insisting. He's one of my best friends and I feel wrong about taking his money....I know we both shook hands but it seems silly, seems like an easy 100.....

$100 is a lot of money--I'd feel funny taking it from a good friend because of a bet. If he really insists on you taking it, tell him you don't feel right about taking it and instead suggest you guys take 1/2 of it and help out his grandmother or somebody else who's in need, and the other half, you guys can do something fun with it, like a double date to the movies or whatever. This way you won't hurt his feelings and you won't feel bad about the way the $$ was spent!

He made the bet and is living up to his word, suggestion take the money and use it for both of you to go out and have a good time, that way it is evenly used both both of your enjoyment, and a good time

It's part of a male code of honor, if you will. It is an offence to his pride and everything he stands for not to take the money. A true gentleman always honors his bet.
