But isn't a tip to compensate the server for his service, not to cover food costs for the restaurant? So, he technically paid for a service, not a meal.
It's a part of eating a meal at a restaurant. Unless OP never tips, covering the tip is part of providing a meal for the OP.

So he only provided part of a meal?

So in order to fulfill your needs, he would have to pay for 3 meals that he would have been able to avoid? Or I guess, he could take you to lunch and watch you eat to avoid the third. 
I could see it going either way. If I was the loser, I'd buy you another free lunch, with a gift card if I had it (), but if I was the winner, I'd consider it paid and probably use it for future friendly shite talking. Like "alright, if I win this one, I buy you lunch. If you win, you'll figure out a way to get me a free lunch. Deal?"

He paid the full amount that OP's meal would have cost on that particular day. That is as far as the wording in the bet can be taken. If OP is unhappy with the cost that the loser had to pay out, he can change the wording for future bets.

That criteria was met according to OP, so the debt is cleared, as I said in my first post.
So where did you prove me wrong again?
I proved you wrong because B still hasn't bought A lunch, which was the bet. At best he has bought service (that's if he even tipped on A's comped portion of the meal) but still not the lunch itself. Your premise from the beginning was that all that was required to satisfy the bet was for A to receive a free lunch. That's just plain wrong.

According to the definition of the word "bought," you've done no such thing.

He was to receive a lunch bought for him. The definition of the word bought was satisfied. Do you not have dictionaries in Gumpland?

You are getting closer. It's actually he was to receive a free lunch bought for him by B.

Like I said, if he tipped on A's comped portion of the lunch then at most he has partially fulfilled the bet, he has bought the service, but still hasn't bought A any lunch. The restaurant technically bought that by comping it.

Sure. Another non sequitur. Our disagreement isn't over the definition of bought, but what was bought.

It was actually "Person A wins a bet which states person B has to buy A lunch." That's straight from the OP.

You're entitled to think that way, but it doesn't make it right. According to the definition of the words the OP gave us, and the situation as described by him, the debt is paid.

The meal was bought. It's not up for debate unless you're a halfwit Bama person that is hell bent on carrying this out for however much longer you need a distraction.

Well, I had to find something to do to procrastinate at work
Posted on 10/13/15 at 2:31 pm to CE Tiger
Yep. Bet was for a bought lunch, not a free lunch. To fulfill conditions of bet it must cost B something, not just provide A with something.

How was the meal messed up? They brought you the wrong thing? Was the food cold? Did A have a hair in his food and B noticed it just as A was preparing to eat it?
Want to make sure this wasn't well thought out by either party to avoid or gain another meal.

It's the principle, knowing that your pocket change is just a little bit lighter because you lost the bet.
Posted on 10/13/15 at 3:54 pm to CE Tiger
did you pay for your lunch? why are you bitching

Person A wins a bet which states person B has to buy A lunch. they go to lunch and person A's lunch has something messed up with it and the lunch becomes comped. Does person B still owe person A lunch since person B did not pay anything for A's lunch.
You call the first lunch as null and void, reschedule a new lunch without all this bullshite and proceed to 2nd lunch with no comped meals involved and loser(person B) pays off the original debt. Jesus you guys could frick up a wet dream with all of this over analyzing.
Posted on 10/13/15 at 11:15 pm to CE Tiger
Yep, absolutely
Posted on 10/13/15 at 11:17 pm to CE Tiger
How specific was your bet?
Posted on 10/13/15 at 11:24 pm to CE Tiger
Your team won and then you got a free lunch. Who fricking cares. The cost for B was having to endure lunch with such a petty person.
