So would I, except that I don't gamble.  In 5 years, I will be 82
years old and Tom will be 86 years old.  Collecting on a bet, when
everyone is that old, will be problematic.

The New Yorker is not an independent business.  It's a "brand" owned
by Conde Nast:
<https://www.condenast.com/brands>
Therefore, the bet would need to be whether Conde Nast remains in
business as part of Conde Nast or if Conde Nast sells or licenses The
New Yorker brand to a different conglomerate or equity capital group.
