If I were in Ben's shoes there is absolutely no way I would let Berri off the hook had Sauce won, and no arbitrator would either. First sentence of that convo makes it super clear what Ben means:

Think it through from other perspective. Sauce won, now Berri tries to get paid and says I thought we both bet on Sauce. They show it to arbitrator and Berri says his proof is that he said 'gogo'. Does it sound reasonable that anyone would call it a wash? That would seem the most ridiculous freeroll ever and noone would agree that he shouldn't pay.
It's about BERRI's intentions. If you don't believe that he was trying to freeroll, then there's no reason it shouldn't be a wash, regardless of the results.
Sure, if BERRI would have paid Ben in the event that Sauce won, then Ben should have to pay BERRI in the actual status quo. But I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe that BERRI would have been like "Oh, you meant this, I understand now, here's your 40k". I think he'd be arguing the bet was a wash. Which is why I think it was a genuine misunderstanding that wasn't any more Ben's fault than BERRI's, and that should be a wash.
