Default GPA Prop bet

Me and my roommate are going for a decent sized bet (at least for us as we aren't the wealthiest of people) of 50 bucks on who will have the higher GPA this semester. It's a small attempt to help each other get motivated to do a little better this semester.

I've got about a 1.9 CUM GPA from the first 2 years, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to try a little harder this year....

As opposed to seeing who can have the higher GPA, make the bet something like:

If one of you has over 2.0 and the other doesnt they owe $20 bucks.

If one of you has over 2.5 and the other doesnt they owe $50 bucks.

If one of you has over 3.0 and the other doesnt they owe $100 bucks.

If both of you have over 3.0, no one wins but at least youre not complete fucktards anymore

If you have a 1.9, I'll give you 4:1 that I beat you this semester (your max: $500).

Yeah, apparently playing poker all night and sleeping through the day and skipping classes doesn't help your GPA...

I did this in high school, and it bumped my GPA up a full like .75 points.

Edit: That sounds really small.. I basically went from B+s to As/A+s.
