is this the right place to post this?

i know they got 50-1. but what are the odds for us to bet?

would anybody bet at 40-1? 30-1? less?

i'm interested in betting some amount.

Bill perkin bet Jaime staples & his little brother matt 50:1 odds that within one year they couldn't get to equal weight. I think matt is around 135ish pounds and Jaime at 310 or so. Jaime & Matt put up $1.5k each = $3k total to Perkins $150k

assuming there are no REAL medical conditions that pertain to either

i dont know what the line would be....but

staples brothers should accomplish this with such ease that is realistically just a gift from bill. If they do not complete this i would basically erase both of them from the poker world because anyone who cant follow through on this probably wont follow through on anything.

Jamie - go to the doctor and get an adderal prescription
little brother- go to the doctor and get HRT(hormone replacement therapry) aka testestorone.

Ship me the money. thanks guys

Seems like your kind of delusional on this

Here's the deal: before Black Friday it was easy to run a prop bet in this tab. Most prop bets are driven by Americans and the money was easily escrowed/transferred on Tilt and Stars.

After BF the percentage of props that went off took a nosedive. I haven't seen one go off here in months, maybe years.

Right that makes sense. Would be silly if at a certain point Jaime was trying to put weight back on as their weight's intersected before having a chance to weigh in.

this is almost impossible. 90lbs in a year is insane

So, you want to take on a bet that will return you 2% over a year. Or a loss of 100%.

Seems like a great idea

If there is a safe way for me to actually make a bet here, i will bet all the money on staples failing harder than words can describe. (actually the problem is the tiny 60kg guy basically doubling his weight, so yeah..)

I'd put up 1k.

Odds? I don't know yet, the problem is how the hell can we make it a safe bet?

escrow? we can find someone to hold onto it for like 1% tip/fee if enough people bet. maybe a mod or a trusted player.

give me 30:1?

so i only have to wager $33.33 to your $1k

i'm also willing to bet up to 500-1k at anybody else that wants to put up at those odds.

Yep. The winner on the other side of the bet is expected to give up a third of his profits.
