Therefore, if Robbie is going to continue to challenge Gideon to do this, Gideon wants to be compensated for his time. The "wager" aspect of the deal, is that Robbie only has to pay if Gideon is right and Robbie is wrong.
mmmmkay?

It is a one-sided wager, which is why I believe Gideon has the mind of a school child. He thinks about himself and cares little about other people.
Robbie was challenging Gideon but the "wager" was Gideon's idea.

if robbie is right, he gets to shut me up complete by proving once and for all i don't know what i am talking about
if he is wrong
robbie get a very important benefit from this "wager" the knowledge to fix a MISTAKE
that he doesn't even know he is making.
A mistake that is turning what should be an increasing income flow into a downward spiraling flow.
if anything the bet is one sided in robbie favor
he wins either way
i only win if i am right.
