Reduce...By AMIE PARNES | 08/19/09 4:36 PM

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was $50 dollars richer Wednesday after he won a friendly wager with a reporter.

In a morning gaggle with the White House press corps, April Ryan, a reporter with American Urban Radio Network, and Gibbs squabbled over this question on the president's push for health care: Did Gibbs ever say Obama wouldn't personally go somewhere (like Capitol Hill) because he didn't have a home field advantage.

Gibbs instantly said, "I never insinuated the President wouldn't go somewhere because he didn't have an advantage."

But Ryan hastily pushed back: "No you did. In the briefing you said that."

Gibbs then offered to give Ryan $20 bucks if she could find that transcript.

"Make it $50," Ryan snapped back.

.... and this is how it played out.....
