Re: Prop bet thread
All,
I have a friend who thinks I can lose 15 pounds in 1 month. I am not fairly active and don't really have great eating habits. However, I'm not obese, I'm ~160 5'8'' 23yo. I'd estimate my body fat % at around 15-18%. What odds should I give him for the bet to be fair? Also, should I cross-post in Health&Fitness? |

Re: Prop bet thread
ok, here's my idea for a prop bet: Since stars has recently decided to allow players to play up to 24 cash tables at once, and the non-mixed games they offer number 8, which divides 24, prop bettor A(let's refer to them as me) would play 3 tables of holdem, 3 tables of omaha hi, 3 tables of o8, 3 tables of stud, 3 tables of stud8, 3 tables of razz, 3 tables of draw, and 3 tables of triple draw, for X hours, and make Y profit. If none of these criterion are met at the agreed upon time, the bet($L) is lost by me. If all criterion are met at the agreed upon time, I win($W).
I'm able to 12-table but I've never done more than that. What variables would you put in here if you were taking the other side of the bet? Also, second idea: 24-table for 24 hours. That would be interesting |

Re: Prop bet thread
made it through most of this thread when people were talking about college female athletes vs intermural level males.
Everyone said there isnt a sport where the women would win. I think they would in indoor Volleyball if we are using the top level female teams |
