It depends on your success level. If, for example, you score a success and your opponent scores a failure, that means he loses whatever amount you bid. Should you instead score a critical success, he transfers the bid to you, i.e., he loses the points and you gain them.
Have a look at the rules synopsis found at http://www.heroquest-rpg.com/support/GameAids.pdf , it explains the basic rules of HQ.

Hope this helps,
