In **Season 1 Episode** 10, _Trick x to x the Trick_ , Leorio wanted to bet on
whether the blue guy was unconscious or not. At the time of the wager the
prisoner was down 40-60 against Leorio.

> PRISONER: Now, it's your turn to wager. What would you like to bet on?  
>  LEORIO: Well... I'd like to bet on whether he's really unconscious or not.

Just before Leorio lets go of the blue guy, the prisoner says:

> PRISONER: I bet 40 hours **that he's unconscious**. I'm betting all the time
> I have left.

Leorio lets go of the blue guy and of course he **wasn't unconscious** yet the
prisoner was still awarded with 40 hours!!

_Prisoner's time on the left, Leorio's time on the right._

After the prisoner was awarded the 40 hours, she says,

> PRISONER: But now, you only have 20 hours of bargaining chips.

So they definitely made it seem like Leorio lost the wager, but clearly the
prisoner did!

**Why didn't the prisoner lose right then and there? Shouldn't that have been
the end of the match?**

question
hunter-x-hunter
Can someone explain Leorio's wager with the prisoner?


You missed some parts. In **Chapter 20** of the manga, when Leorio proposed
the bet, the prisoner said:

> Prisoner: All right... **I'll bet 20 hours...that he really is out cold.**

This would mean that _Leorio's bet automatically is that he's not out cold_.
When Leorio was about to let go of the guy playing dead, the prisoner changed
his mind.

> Leorio: Look, if he yells out while falling...we'll accept that Kurapika's
> lost on a foul. You'll get the win. That seem fair to you?  
>  Prisoner: Yes, quite fair. **But I'd like to change my bet. Let me put 40
> hours on him waking up.**

So, Leorio's bet was changed to the guy not waking up due to this last minute
proposition. Therefore, he lost.
