ACT English... help?

<p>Mr.Ruel Gridley, a grocer, entered into a friendly wager (for) the election's outcome with a Dr.Buel Herrick.</p>

<ol>
<li>no change</li>
<li>of</li>
<li>on</li>
<li>at </li>
</ol>

<p>I just kept "for", and the answer is "on". Can someone please explain to me what's the error in the sentence? Thanks!
God Bless!</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>and another question follow by the previous one:</p>

<p>(nevertheless) , that wager would beneefit many Civil War soldiers in an unforeseen way.</p>

<p>a. no change
b. Moreover
c. consequently
d. Eventually</p>

<p>I picked B, but the answer is D… uh…why???</p>

<p>you dont place wagers for something you do on something. I bet for the Texans to win. <strong><em>I bet on the football game</em></strong> you cant say I bet for the football game, it doesnt make sense. Think about it in context.</p>

<p>and eventually is the only one that really makes sense if you read on youll probably realize why.</p>
