Read them all, both the adult stuff and the "kid" stuff. It's all good.

When you get to Time Enough for Love, let me know. I love hearing how
people react to that and Number of the Beast.

How do you pay yourself 5 dollars?
Could you bet more than you own? After all, you are not actually going to
lose any of it.

But find Methusaleh's Children first. It's a short story, but it helps keep
those novels straight. And after Number of the Beast, do The Cat Who Walks
Through Walls then To Sail Beyond The Sunset.
I mean, read everything you can by Heinlein. Then, read 'em again. :-) I
love his stuff. I have an amazing amount of respect for his ability to tell
a story, and for his personal, Can-Do kind of attitude. I dearly wish he
were still around to tell more stories.

If you lose, you burn the money you bet?

I think that in many countries that would be technically illegal.

If I lose, I have to buy myself a drink. If I win, I get a round
courtesy of myself. Seems perfectly obvious to me :)

And win, lose, or draw, you get to explain how it works to everyone. ;-)
