I would be happy to bet but what you have said makes no sense. Your bet is based on a bunch of conflicting points, some of which will be true and some of which will not be true.
I'll bet on these:
Over the next years, the role of technical writer (especially documentation specialists) will be increasingly outsourced, insourced, and offshored -- 1 lunch, payable in 5 years.
In ten years the vast majority of fulltime technical writing jobs with benefits will be gone, they will be contracted -- another lunch in 10 years.
How's that? Bet?
