Once two parties agree to a bet (espically where time is important), one party cannot cancel the bet the next day without consent from the second party.

If someone pulled that with me I definitely wouldn't bet with them again.

The answer, by law, is no. All conditions to this bet have been agreed upon by both parties, therefore person A cannot change the terms of this agreement without the (written) consent of both parties.

Of course if this was an oral contract, it becomes a little more sticky to resolve - and also cannot be changed orally (by law).

I've been asked to edit my response, so I will. Backing out of a bet is very toolish.

The question was worded the way it was for the sake of anonymity. The people and involved will probably be disclosed after the poll is complete. The bet itself may or may not be, and should not matter.

JERRY: So, when do I get my dinner?

KRAMER: There's no dinner. The bet's off. I'm not gonna do it.

JERRY: Yes. I know you're not gonna do it. That's why I bet.

KRAMER: There's no bet if I'm not doing it.

JERRY: That's the bet! That you're not doing it!

KRAMER: Yeah, well, I could do it. I don't want to do it.

JERRY: We didn't bet on if you wanted to. We bet on if it would be done.

KRAMER: And it could be done.

JERRY: Well, of course it could be done! Anything could be done! But it only is done if it's done. Show me the levels! The bet is the levels.

KRAMER: But I don't want the levels!

something similar just happened to me yesterday. my brother bet me he could ride a flatbed cart down home depot without running into anything/one. I immediatly agreed. Upon realizing that there were 2 people in said eisle, he declined to make an attempt, yet he gave me the money anyway.

So yes, the bet is still on, though it depends what the change in circumstances is, i believe.
