The $200 Bet

I was talking to my friend and he said if I can become a moderately good coder with C++ in the 2 months he would give me $200.
And it goes both ways so if i don't make it to my goal i will have to give him $200.

Now i don't normally bet but i think this will encourage me as I don't wish to lose that $200.
Right now I'm so busy and I have to try so hard to get some time to code.

Lets hope I win the $200.
