That deal is likely to be considered a wager or bet (gambling), which in most U.S. states is illegal, and illegal contracts cannot be enforced. Contracts can be formed by an exchange of messages, calls or emails, without a written agreement, if they meet the other elements of a valid contract (price, promised performance, etc.).
