Hi
I heard the red sentence in an Indian film today. The context goes something like this. The heroine's father tells her that her friend will never come to the party because he was a mean and stingy person. The heroine replies to her father:
Father: He'll never come. [said in Hindi]
Girl: Can you bet on that? [said in English]
Could you please tell me if can you bet that and can you bet on that are synonymous and equally natural to native ears? I have been using this expression without the preposition on.
Thanks,
Tom
