However the commenter likes. I think it's ridiculous to say "I guarantee this will increase inequality". But if he's that confident... and no doubt he is a "he"... let's put money where mouths are.

It could be entirely reasonable to guarantee something like that. It's a figure of speech as well, and doesn't imply that they have a way of proving it. And why are you confident they are a "he"?

Anyway, I think the onus is on you to specify a way of settling the bet since you offered it.
