The boys have created a formal "betting ledger" kept in Theo’s bedside drawer. The rules are simple: the first one to get a girl to confess her love wins the pot (a hefty stash of Galleons and a month of doing the winner’s homework). The Reality: None of them care about the money. They are all desperately, hopelessly in love. The "bet" is a pact they made so they could all start pursuing the girls at the same time without it being "weird" for their group dynamic.
