I have a few thoughts about your question.

> If someone offers you weight, and you refuse, then lose....you look like an even bigger wacker.....IMO of course...again for large sums, not $20

If DB gives the weight and loses:
Then that's bad game making, but might help future negotiations.
If DB gives the weight and wins......
"obvious list of good things here"
but, He might have to give more weight to others down the road.
If CD refuses the weight and loses...see above
If CD refuses the weight and wins.......ouch!

If CD takes the weight and loses.....obvious sucky things.
If CD takes the weight and wins, we all would say that was obvious!
Man, If you could remove the EGO factor in all these circumstances, your life as a high profile gambler would be much easier.
