Ahh, that makes sense of all the layman's explanations I've heard on the news over the last day. So, the reason the Higgs Boson causes matter to clump together is actually a herding instinct.

I bet they called him "Bro-San" once...ONCE. (Does that count?)

This isn't the first bet he lost, and I believe he bets like I'd do, if I were to bet - bet so that you can't lose. Either you're right all along, or you lose and something cool has happened.

I think this is not the higgs boson, but rather something attracted to the boson; known as the boson mate.

Indeed. He might just bet to provide added incentive to those who would love saying they won a bet against him.
Basically. Hawking bets so that if he loses, physics wins. And if physics loses, he at least gets a consolation prize.
From Thorne?Hawking?Preskill bet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"This was a form of insurance policy for me. I have done a lot of work on black holes, and it would all be wasted if it turned out that black holes do not exist. But in that case, I would have the consolation of winning my bet, which would win me four years of the magazine Private Eye."
