the lawyer wins the bet in a moral sense because he stays in jail for 15 years, he gains wisdom, and he doesn't take the money!
(By other User)
Correction! The Banker wins because the lawyer had left 5 minutes ahead of schedule, therefore he didn't stay the full 15 years of solitary confinement. Although he had lost the bet, both the banker and the lawyer had lost and gained something. Like they said in Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories, "To lose is to claim and to claim is to lose.".
Lawyer:
- did the fifteen years
-gained education/wisdom
-interpretation
-lost the $2 million (he left 5 hour early)
Banker:
-retired job as banker
-lost HIS money
-was self contempt
But in the end, the Banker had won the bet.

What situational irony is between the banker and the lawyer THE BET?
I think that the irony is that in the begining, they both thought that money was everything. And ultimately the banker may have won the money but he really lost in life because he was still irrational and young as he was in the beginning, while the lawyer chose to disregard the money because he had gained wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of the world! So the irony is that the banker, who "won" didn't really win at all. He was still trapped in society.
