The biggest loser in his neighborhood, Ernie Williams

He had made it with the biggest loser in the neighborhood, Ernie Williams. Ernie was a massive nerd and everyone made fun of him for it. Peter tended to try to get along with him, and Ernie appreciated that, but they weren’t exactly best friends either.

Still they decided to make a bet together despite neither knowing anything about basketball. Peter knew what the top teams were going in this year, so he thought he had a sure win as he made his brackets.

They had settled on a high stakes wager.
