weightloss propbet

slatur · Apr 28, 2010

so ive been thinking about setting up a propbet with some people on another forum that i frequent. basically right now i am 120 kilos (264 pounds) and i want to weigh 100kilos (220 pounds). ive been trying unsuccessfully to lose weight in then last couple months but because im such a lazy, fat degenerate pokerplayer im having trouble exercising etc.

let me just say that i live a very unhealthy lifestyle, i smoke a pack a day, i never exercise, i dont own a car so i cant drive to a gym. i eat quite a bit of fastfood, candy etc. and i usually sleep during the day and wake during the night. typical online poker pro i guess :lolBIG:

so if i were to come up to you with this type of propbet what are the best odds that you could give me? assuming the conditions would basically be this

*must lose 20 kilos
*must complete before September first

i dont want to lose more then that because i heard somewhere that losing more then 2 pounds a week is not good for you so i want to do this the healthy way.

so please give me your opinion but dont try to hustle me into giving terrible odds for myself so you can take advantage of me

, like i said i will be betting against my friends and people on another forum.

i suck at propbetting and would like to get opinions of some more savvy gamblers then myself. what kind of odds would you be willing to take?

I am going to move this to the Offshore Forum where you are likely to get more responses.

If you are betting with friends, take even money.

If that really is your lifestyle, it'll be hard to break bad habits....

By sept 1

under 220lbs +500
over 220lbs -450

For bets like that i personally feel the person that controls the destiny of the bet should have to give the others the best of it odds wise.

If someone can control how much weight they can lose, they should give me -300.....If you setup a practical plan you can definitely do it, losing weight is a lot easier than adding muscle, its not that hard.

i would set the over / under at 228

on sept 1 each pound over or under is worth $ 200 ...

Then he'll show up at 188, and be looking for $8k

I tend to agree with Patsfan... You should be negative money, since you control it...

I think it should be somewhere around

Over +200
Under-220

This is based on the fact, you control it on the UNDER...

However, if me and Patsfan were betting between each other without us knowning... I think it would be very different

Over 220.5 -300
Under 220.5 +260

Give me time to prepare and I would lay -500 on being able to drop 20k in four months. Just have to set a very high minimum bet for me to do it, though

im sorry but since im european im used to using the decimal odds. when you say lay -500 you mean 4 to 1 right? as in the bettors 400$ to my 100$?

-500 means you lay $500 to win $100
+500 means you lay $100 to win $500
