All my search-fu has turned up nothing:
Brother and sister use bets to settle arguments. One argument is over who plays Morpheus in The Matrix. Brother wagers "slavery" and sister loses.
Any help?

Hi. The author is anonympc. If you search you will hit his website where all of his stories are posted.

The author removed the stories when the new rules about age came into effect.
Not to be confused with https://storiesonline.net/s/47258/Wanna_Bet !
The rules changed in September 2011 - which is when (s)he deleted that story - and they only affected new stories / chapters, older stories were grandfathered in. The word "grandfathered" feels inappropriate in that context, "granddaughtered" would be better.
Oddly, I learned recently where the term "grandfathered" comes from and it would probably be best to drop it entirely.
Immediately following the US Civil War certain states didn't want to give newly freed slaves the right to vote so they instituted a literacy test. Unfortunately, this also eliminated many poor whites, so they were given the vote back through "grandfather laws": if your grandfather had been allowed to vote prior to 1867, then you could vote regardless of literacy.
This site does not permit us to draw parallels with current events, probably a good thing.
