Person A wins a bet which states person B has to buy A lunch.
Has person B bought person A lunch yet?
Can you "buy" something that is free?
It seems that no lunch has been bought yet so the bet is not fulfilled. If Person B left a tip it could complicate things though.

or you could view it as free lunch for the winner.

I would let it slide as an act of God. The person already took the time out to take you out to lunch.

Not exactly. According to the OP the bet was the loser had to "buy" lunch. Sounds like nobody bought any lunch yet.

That's not close to the OP scenario. Your example should say if money was dispensed but B's account balance was not debited the amount by mistake does that mean A wasn't handed a 20 spot.
Which A was and A is whole...

The gas to drive there, the tip...all of these things represent money that he spent to pay the debt. And all of it ended up with Person A getting their lunch.

Debt is cleared.

Valid point. I'm more of the "haha you lost you suck" kind of guy than the "yay i won" kind.

"Buy" probably wasn't the exact expectation. The exact expectation was that free lunch would be provided by some means. Free lunch was provided. The person who was owed received compensation. A bet is about compensation that the winner receives. Not the means by which the loser provides compensation.

Then make the bet for a set amount next time. You got a lunch you didn't pay for. Debt is cleared.
