Betting is appealing, both in Real Life and in fiction. It adds a sense of risk to otherwise normal proceedings, makes everything more interesting. Unfortunately, "gambling is fun" is a poor Aesop, not to mention that it's hard to make money actually mean anything in a work of fiction. So there's an easy solution: Rather than the loser giving the winner money, the loser has to obey the winner's orders—either once or for an entire day.
In Japanese media, another way of putting such a bet, is to make the loser become the winner's "dog," because dogs are known for following their owners orders.
Often involves Unresolved Sexual Tension, though good luck seeing it resolved. Cousin trope to Lost Him in a Card Game. Subtrope of Humiliating Wager. If the servitude is serious, see Absurdly High-Stakes Game.

At the 2014 "Hell in a Cell" pay-per-view event, the Bella Twins had a match wherein the loser of the match would become the winner's "personal assistant" (a polite way of putting it) for one month - and should the loser fail to perform those duties to the winner's satisfaction, she will be forced to leave WWE. Nikki won.

Touma and Mikoto in A Certain Magical Index set up one of these when their schools face off in a sports festival. Mikoto wins, and wonders what she should make him do. Eventually, she basically makes him go on a date with her (although she doesn't tell him that), which gets interrupted by random super-powered sociopaths. So, you know, an average day.

The Phantom Menace. A literal and extreme example of this is how Anakin and his mother ended up as slaves to Watto. They were originally slaves to Gardulla the Hutt, but she lost them to Watto during a bet on podraces. The novelization and some EU material actually state that Watto is way better than Gardulla, though still rather harsh. Then during the movie, Qui-Gon Jinn inverts this trope to free Anakin during the local podrace. He succeeds, but unfortunately they have to leave his mother behind as Watto didn't agree to bet both his slaves. She does get freed later on though during Attack of the Clones, but her loss at the hands of the Sandpeople is the beginning of Anakin's Start of Darkness.

Then Dazai makes another bet on who'll identify the black flame culprit first. If Chuuya wins the previous bet will be called off, but if Dazai wins Chuuya will be Dazai's dog "for life."

Assassination Classroom has Student Council President Gakushuu Asano make such a wager with Class 3-E, intending to force them to sign a contract with a provision that they would have to answer any question afterwards truthfully. He intended to gain knowledge of what Class 3-E was hiding, namely Koro-sensei, in order to gain leverage on his father. However, in a Moment Of Awesome, Class 3-E manages to win over Class A in the first-year finals, taking Class A's island summer vacation as their prize.

In The World God Only Knows, Haqua challenges Keima to a board game, with a Wager Slave as the penalty. As it becomes increasingly clear that she is hopelessly outmatched, Haqua starts saying, "I know I said anything... But not anything! Just not anything, okay!" Keima, however, only wants to ask questions about his situation and Elsie. Haqua finally lashes out at him: "Aren't you even a tiny bit interested in me?!"

In Yu-Gi-Oh!, Jonouchi gets this done to him by Otogi. Otogi wins and puts Jonouchi in a dog suit, forcing him to obey all his commands—until Yugi steps in to free him. It's not treated kinkily in the anime, but that hasn't stopped fans from taking it that way.

Tower of God
In a bet between Endorsi and Anaak on whoever killed the Bull first, Anaak wagered Black March, whereas Endorsi wagered herself. Since Bam killed the Bull, nothing really happened.
More seriously, Prince wagered Yeon, who was dependent on him because of her debts in a strength competition. Viole won, but set Yeon free.

In an episode of Lilo & Stitch: The Series, Jumba and Pleakley get caught up in Lilo and Stitch's argument over who's better at capturing experiments, and each agrees to coach one of them in capturing a pair of experiments. They agree to bet that whoever's protegee captures the experiment first, the other has to perform "the Funky Glognart, the insipid dance of a thousand hours". Meanwhile, Lilo and Stitch learn a lesson in teamwork and end up capturing both experiments together, which means both Pleakley and Jumba have to perform the dance.

Higurashi: When They Cry
The main characters' club often hands out these kinds of penalties to the loser of the game of the day. One memorable result of this is Keiichi being forced to walk home in a maid outfit.
This is a rare one where there is no sexual tension,note Actually there is, but it's never related to the penalties. but there may be extremely violent murder involved when things inevitably go wrong.

In a breather episode of Soul Eater just after the Kishin had been revived, the main cast play one of these in a three-on-three basketball game. If Kid's team loses, then they move all the pictures in his house slightly off; if Maka's team loses, she has to spend the weekend with her father. Maka loses and her Bumbling Dad is so happy he vomits.

At least twice on The Brady Bunch:
Greg bets Marcia that he's a better driver than she is, with the stakes being the loser does the winner's chores for a week. Greg loses.
Bobby challenges Greg to a chin-up contest, and that Greg must be able to do twice as many as Bobby to win, with the stakes being that the loser has to do whatever the winner wants. Greg loses again. He has to do Bobby's chores for a week AND must bring Bobby along on his date Saturday night.

How I Met Your Mother has the famous "slap bet," where Barney and Marshall get in a bet over what Robin's deep dark secret is.
