[1913 Webster]

certain sum of money, or other thing, shall be paid or
delivered to one of them, on the happening or not
happening of an uncertain event. --Bouvier.
[1913 Webster]

Note: At common law a wager is considered as a legal contract
which the courts must enforce unless it be on a subject
contrary to public policy, or immoral, or tending to
the detriment of the public, or affecting the interest,
feelings, or character of a third person. In many of

{Wager of battel}, or {Wager of battle} (O. Eng. Law), the
giving of gage, or pledge, for trying a cause by single
combat, formerly allowed in military, criminal, and civil
causes. In writs of right, where the trial was by
champions, the tenant produced his champion, who, by
throwing down his glove as a gage, thus waged, or
stipulated, battle with the champion of the demandant,
who, by taking up the glove, accepted the challenge. The
wager of battel, which has been long in disuse, was
abolished in England in 1819, by a statute passed in
consequence of a defendant's having waged his battle in a
case which arose about that period. See {Battel}.

{Wager of law} (Law), the giving of gage, or sureties, by a
defendant in an action of debt, that at a certain day
assigned he would take a law, or oath, in open court, that
he did not owe the debt, and at the same time bring with
him eleven neighbors (called compurgators), who should
avow upon their oaths that they believed in their
consciences that he spoke the truth.

{Wager policy}. (Insurance Law) See under {Policy}.

{Wagering contract} or {gambling contract}. A contract which
is of the nature of wager. Contracts of this nature
include various common forms of valid commercial
contracts, as contracts of insurance, contracts dealing in
futures, options, etc. Other wagering contracts and bets
are now generally made illegal by statute against betting
and gambling, and wagering has in many cases been made a
criminal offence. [Webster 1913 Suppl.]
[1913 Webster]


wager \wa"ger\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {wagered} (w[=a]"j[~e]rd);
p. pr. & vb. n. {wagering}.]
To hazard on the issue of a contest, or on some question that
is to be decided, or on some eventuality; to lay; to stake;
to bet.
[1913 Webster]

Pieces of gold 'gainst this which he wore. --Shak.

conditions must be observed: 1. Each of the parties must have the right to
dispose of the thing which is the object of the wager. 2. Each must give a
perfect and full consent to the contract, 3. There must he equality between
the parties. 4. There must be good faith between them. 5. The wager must not
be forbidden by law. Poth. du
4. In general, it seems that a wager is legal and maybe enforced in a
court of law 3 T. R. 693, if it be not, 1st, Contrary to public policy, or
immoral; or if it do not in some other respect tend to the detriment of the

5.-1. Wagers on the event of an election laid before the poll is open;

Johns. 454, 147; 2 Browne's Rep. 182; are unlawful. And wagers are against
public policy if they are in restraint of marriage; 10 East, R. 22; made as

age, or height, or weight, or wealth, or circumstances, or situation of any
person, is illegal; and this whether the subject of the bet be man, woman,
or child, married or single, native or foreigner, in this country or abroad.
1 Rawle, 42. And it seems that a wager between two coach-proprietors,
whether or not a particular person would go by one of their coaches is
illegal, as exposing that person to inconvenience. 1 B. & A. 683.
7. In the case even of a legal wager, the authority of a stakeholder,
like that of an arbitrator, may be rescinded by either party before the
event happens. And if after his authority has been countermanded, and the
stake has been demanded, he refuse to deliver it, trover or assumpsit for
money had and received is maintainable. 1 B. & A. 683. And where the wager
is in its nature illegal, the stake may be recovered, even after the event,
on demand made before it has been paid over. 4 Taunt. 474; 5 T. R. 405; sed
vide 12 Johns. 1. See further on this subject, 7 Johns. 434; 11 Johns. 23;
