Summary: The Bet is set in 2008 and it's about a stock market broker and a lawyer who make a bet with each other based on capital punishment and whether the death penalty is better or worse than life in prison. An ironic twist responds to this exploration of the value of human life with an unexpected result. The terms of the wager state that if the lawyer can live in solitary confinement for 10 years, he will be given 2 million rupees. The lawyer spends his time in confinement reading books. In the meantime, the broker's fortune declines and he realizes he cannot pay off the bet. The broker resolves the day before the bet is to be up to kill the lawyer to not owe him the money. However, the broker finds when he comes to the man a note written by the man. The note declares that in his time in confinement. The lawyer has learned to hate material goods for the fleeting things they are.
