Strange prop bet between Matt Savage and MIke Noori - Page 19 - Poker News

Yeah, $100 in 36 hours seems doable for most people if the reward was worth the pain; 24 hours would be difficult for many, but I wouldn't be that inclined to bet against someone who thought they could do it.

Has anyone thought about how he could have used the ice cream cones? Obviously I'm not sure what the sugar intake would do to him, but he could have let the ice cream melt and basically used that liquid as his beverage. The cones are basically air so not a lot of volume.

I think the proper move here was as other said to eat maybe $300 worth of bacon, while puking in the process of that. Then do a combo of the ice cream method and apples to finish the other $700.

He also should have probably been doing something to burn cals, not playing golf. Very bad approach to this prop.

That was like saying you're going to swim the English Channel and having a paddle on Brighton beach.

Essentially a bet among friends made more for entertainment and maybe the charity angle than anything else. It still begs the question of who made up the other 39k of action unless like stated it was all some strange charity angle

I never fully understood why first few replies of threads Chainsaw started would be calling for him to stop making new threads. I totally get it now.

Some McDonald's stores charge extra for extra sauce or any sauce if it's not normally included with part of the order. This could've been played in somehow.

None of this would have been a good approach because the bet is so immediately obviously impossible. How are people still debating this? The only good approach is to give up or buy out as soon as possible.

What about the strategy of buying a 4 piece chicken nugget with 1,000 BBQ sauces? I know there are some McDonald's that charge you if you get more than 2 sauces with a 10 piece so a 4 piece you probably only get 1 sauce. I think each extra sauce is $0.25 or $0.35. Wouldn't BBQ sauce be counted as an add-on for the bet? They may even have a better sauce to do this with.

I know $1k in 36 hours is impossible, but wouldn't this angle at least get someone closer if they were actually trying?

And if we're super generous and they are $1 each instead so it's 1000 sauces, that's 48000 calories in bbq sauce. Are you going to eat 48000 calories of bbq sauce? That's about 60lbs of sauce, by the way.

So, we yet again end up in how ****ing pure bred stupid this bet is

I think the line would have to be set at 150$ for 24 hours.

Not sure if there's any other rule violations, but there is the problem that ice cream cones have to be one of the worst $:calorie ratio foods you can find for this bet. 170 calories each, and I believe they're $1.

Or to look at it another way, if you could do nothing but ice cream cones, it would be 323 lbs of food (including 61.6 lbs of sugar), and 170,000 calories. In other words, a really, really terrible idea.
