How to unlock the Bet Your Bottom Dollar achievement in Trivial Pursuit - Definitive Guide
The easiest way to get this achievment is to start a game with 4 players on one controller (You + P2 + P3 + P4) and never answer a question.
When it's your turn, select "Yes" for P2, P3 and P4 then don't answer.
When it's P# turn, select "No" for yourself and "Yes" for the other P#s.
This way doesnt even require for you to know the WRONG answer and your in no danger of accidentally getting a question right yourself and wasting your time.
Note: If you land on a wedge space, because you couldnt move anywhere else, make sure to move the slider (if its part of the question) away from the right answer or you may end up getting some un wanted points.
This should give you the achievement first try without any possible chance of you being able to mess up and needing to start again.
Edit: TEKbulletsponge - Pointed out in the comments that as an added bonus, this is the best way to complete "Wedge Domination" as well.

If you accidentally select "I Know" and get the wedge by answering you will NOT get the achievement. Found out the hard way

Thanks so much, T Muffy! I tried getting this achievement three or four times wondering what I was doing wrong before I read your hint!

This achievement is relatively simple if you know all the WRONG answers to the questions.
Start a game of facts and friends and place all four players (or at least yourself and one other) on the same controller. When anyone lands on a question, have the player you want to get the achievement bet NO (betting that they will get the question wrong) have everyone else bet Yes. Than have the player answering the question answer incorrectly. You will have to do this multiple times for each category in order to obtain the wedge.
Be sure that you do not answer any questions correctly during your own turn. And remember that you cannot bet if someone lands on a Wedge HQ space (the larger questions that represent wedge spaces in clear the board.
Only one of each wedge can be won per game. I won all wedges when I did this, but you may only need to win one so long as you win it by betting and obtain no others.

I don't know, I thought I tried betting and finishing the game with one wedge and it didn't unlock for me. Do I have to bet no each time, because I think I bet yes a time or two to win the wedge.

I had all four players controlled by me and I figured that by betting no and having the other player get the question wrong it would reduce the chance that someone else accidentally get the wedge first.

This achievement is a little tricky. It says to get it by betting but the catch to this achievement is that you have to bet if the person will get the question right or wrong. I thought if I bet that I knew the answer and got it right it would count. Boy was I wrong.
Make sure you bet the person will get it right or wrong

Facts & Friends mode is a local multiplayer mode that allows players to bet on whether or not their opponent knows the answer to their questions. When your opponent is faced with a question, bet that they don't and deliberately answer their question to earn a point. Answering a question correctly earns 2 your points. Earn 4 points in a category to earn a wedge. Earn all wedges, making sure that the 4th point is obtained by betting, to unlock this trophy.
