To dare somebody to do something

Question

I'm having trouble with this, trying to shoehorn in some form of atrevesarse...

how would you say for example 'Go on, I dare you to ask her out' '

Answer 1

Yes, I've been looking at a few phrases. I'm not going to worry about the reasons, I guess in English we can bet on something for example

Answer 2

"A que" is one way of expressing "I bet...] But it's not apuesto a que ganes el partido(...or is it). Do you know how it is derived?
It's long been my belief that a) "apuesto a que ..." is correct and that b) that is precisely how "A que ..." is derived.

Answer 3

It might be a short form of "me juego lo que sea a que..."
