Pony up a grand to win $333.................. one year later?
I get friends taking the action as an act of support and motivation. But nobody else will be fronting up at those odds over that timeframe.
All the best tho. I know how difficult it must be for Americans to lose weight.
Hell of a way to get a $15k bankroll to grind online and not have to answer any questions for a year
Bet or no bet I hope you get it done. Gl with this
Ya sure, that makes total sense. I have been on about 100 diets over the past 20 years and never lost more than prob 45 lbs in a year but I should be laying 3-1 lolQuote:

Anything in life is a slam dunk if you follow a good routine. Facts are most people are bad at thisQuote:

Go check how many 400lb senior citizens are walking around. Do it for yourself, the money is just a bonus.
This feels like OSA's ideaQuote:

^^ this. The money should not be a motivator. Being able to live better should be all the incentive needed.Quote:

fool proof way to losing big weight
find hot chick
fall in love
get dumped
depression sets in
no appetite
lose massive weight
reinvent self
cash big
Actually that's not true, I think it's the other way around. Most of the better gamblers and poker players do not post here anymoreQuote:

The market dictates action and I have gotten less than expected so I will move it to EVEN MONEY
1k wins 1k 100 wins 100 etc.....
Your odds are just super bad. I'm 5'10" and maybe 240 if I went and ate a huge dinner and drank a gallon of tea. I'd bet you $3333 of mine against $10k of yours that I could lose 85 lbs in the next year. Just step on a scale one time and win the betQuote:

more than anything, we'd be betting on whether you have the mental fortitude and determination to do it, which is super hard or impossible for anyone here to judge
Are you still only booking $5000? And are you escrowing?Quote:

Obviously losing 85 pounds is super possible but I have never done it. The bottom line is that is the bet, do I have the fortitude and determination to discipline myself for 52 weeksQuote:

This is better for the backers (and for your health) because if you get through it four months ahead of time you have to keep the weight off, which should be the objective when you diet. It would suck if you turn to stuffing your face with carbs right afterwards where you put on 30lbs right away. You can say you won't ever want to do that but that is a common dieters fallacy that happens to more people then keeping the entire amount off.
Considering your height/weight this leans in your favor as long as you take it 90% seriously having those extra pounds to drop which is about 22.4% of your current body weight. Jaime Staples is well on pace for his bet with Perkins but it's much more difficult for him to win because he has to be within a pound of his brother who was a twig before starting this prop bet.
Many valid points have been made here that you should do this for your own health and not need money motivation but best of luck.
I am not sure how much I am going to book yet. At least $5,000. I can be the escrow if people do not have a problem with that. Otherwise I will figure it out.Quote:

Empiremaker2 gave me a freeroll without even discussing odds. His only stipulations were a before pics and after pics and a scale weigh in.
No it shouldn't. It is my bet not yours, when you do a weight loss bet then you can set the terms however you wantQuote:

Fair enough, though a little defensive on your part.Quote:

Not defensive at all. It's my bet, my terms , your not even betting and your trying to tell me how the bet should be structuredQuote:

The price is Even money now btw
I only read the first page and a half of the thread. At even money it's more fair and you'll get your action. I am not betting against you correct and think you can do it but just saying at the former line 3:1 backers should want you to weigh in a year from now still down 85+.Quote:

True though, your terms they can or leave them. GL
This is a great bet. If I were not a fan of Chinamaniac, I'd buy the whole bet and root against him and send pizza coupons in the mail. Given his earned respect, going to reluctantly stay away. Tempting to buy the whole thing in a snap minute, but it's like betting against the home team.
Wish China the best either way.

Should Demand Escrow with Druff! Considering the PFA's past reputation with scammers!:boom
I'll take $250. lmk if you want to escrow with Druff or whatever.Quote:

Is there any suggestions how we could get an accurate weight to start?
Hold up....I thought it was +300 odds. -300?? I thought China was putting up 5k to win 15k??
I am really confused.
If you had China's side, it's +300. If you had the other side, it's -300.Quote:
