    Johnny admits to knowing that taking the bet was a sin and commits it anyway.

    No, he admits that it might be a sin.

    The boy said, “My name’s Johnny and it might be a sin
    But I’m gon’ take your bet, you’re gonna regret, I’m the best there’s ever been”

      That means he’s acknowledging its a sin but he will do it anyways. You are thinking it says it might be a sin or might not, but thats not how the sentence goes.

        I definitely read it as an acknowledgement of a risk rather than an admission of wrong.

            There’s a big difference between saying “I understand this is a sin, but I’m doing it anyway” versus “I think this might be a sin, but I’m doing it anyway.”
