Exactly what I would do. Laugh it off over a few brews.
If anything, your buddy's integrity is admirable. I know a few guys who would pretend no bet if they lost. "Oh, it's a figure of speech". But you will be reminded constantly if you lost a bet about how you owe them money.
But I've also met a few who are genuinely surprised when I hand them money on a lost bet. I usually buy them a brew or coffee, or upgrade a gift for them next time I bring them a gift. These guys actually think it's a figure of speech.
