Prop bet thread

I have a hard time with food props knowing on the one hand how little I can eat and on the other how much the professionals can eat. Somehow this is entirely unlike, say golf, where there is a huge margin in skills and one can still find an appropriate spot.

I'd take the King Lear bet straight up for enough money for it to be worth it to quit my job.

That bench press one is intriguing. I weigh 235, also maxing 415. I haven't repped out a set over 5 in about 2 months, but I think I could do the 300 fairly easily. 500 would be tough.

Edit: I think the hardest part about the 500 would be staying up the whole time. I think I could drop 10 pounds for it and be pressing 225 (which I toy with and I'm sure Txredman does as well) 5 times every 15 mins for 24 hours if I could just stay awake. I'd feel brand new after 15 mins.

What is the line on not shaving or getting a haircut for 2,3, or 5 years?

What about walking or running from Las Vegas to LA?

I would be willing to take both bets for the right price.

I have a not drinking bet going since November, the next drink I take costs me $2000.

I was thinking about taking 2+ weeks of vacation and starting some kind of bet on renting a car and betting how many miles I could average a day.

If I averaged 700-800 miles a day can you imagine how much the car rental company would flip out?

NicksDad,

"If I averaged 700-800 miles a day can you imagine how much the car rental company would flip out?"

I imagine they would care pretty close to not at all.
