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 betOriginally Posted by chinamaniac
Glad people are rooting for me but at the same time surprised at how little gamble people have
It's hilarious that we as a society think everyone can be a dr, a lawyer, an engineer. Some people are just fucking stupid. Why can't we just accept that?
Well obviously I am going to open the odds with a better price for me and see what kind of action I can get. I just moved the line to Even MoneyYour odds are just super bad.

one of the problems with this idea is that it's not super difficult, from a physical perspective, to lose the weight in a year at your size.
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?Well obviously I am going to open the odds with a better price for me and see what kind of action I can get. I just moved the line to Even Money
How does Empiremaker2 feel about this recent development since he locked in at -300?

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 weeks
It should be you have to weigh in down at least 85 pounds when the year date hits and not at any point.
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.Are you still only booking $5000? And are you escrowing?

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 want
And jesus christ, enough with the it's good for your health to lose the fucking weight. Any kid 10 years old with an average IQ knows this.
Put up $$$ or STFU/thread
Fair enough, though a little defensive on your part.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 want
The price is lol especially given that rule but good news for you is you should find enough action since their are tons of horrible prop bettors in poker.
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 structuredFair enough, though a little defensive on your part.

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+.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 structured

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!
I'll take $250. lmk if you want to escrow with Druff or whatever.
I'm interested in the bet at even money ($100 escrow with druff?). The only concern I have is the ease with manipulating water retention for the initial weigh in. I used to bloat up 15lbs if I drank a ton and ate like shit over the course of a single weekend. I'd piss all that water weight out in 2 days after I got my shit together. 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.
It's even money now.
