25 Funniest Only Fools And Horses Moments

25. Rodney And Mickey's Bet

Rodney used to complain that Del always treated him like a kid, but after his bet with Mickey Pearce, can he really blame his older brother? When there are just two tickets to a party at the Nag's Head left, Rodders and Mickey make a bet whether the youngest Trotter will bring a date.

Unwilling to damage his pride, Rodney makes up a woman despite not having a date at all, and though the bet starts at 10, the two go back and forth until the stake is at 50.

After Del Boy essentially 'buys' the bet from Rodney, unwilling to stand by as the Trotter name is laughed at, he gets his brother a date. When he goes to collect his winnings, it soon becomes clear that they weren't talking about pound sterling, as Mickey reluctantly gives Del his 50 pence piece.
