I am starting this thread
with the hopes that others will link to stories
of interesting wagers in history.

HOW CLEOPATRA WON HER BET
Cleopatra and Marc Antony settled a wager more than 2,000 years ago.
Now, a researcher believes she figured out how the Egyptian queen won the bet.
In a bet, there is a fool and a thief. - Proverb.

it doesnt say what Cleopatra won in the bet
