Re: A pretty big prop bet.

1. LOL @ leveling anyone to make $. you guys need to hang out with some better people where your not always feeling like something shady is going on.

2. He is 27 years old, he is a big boy, wtf business is it of mine if he wants to make a retarded bet? He ran his mouth at a dinner with 6 people saying how easy it would be for him to spend a year in jail etc when everyone else cringed at the idea or dropped major 6 fig bombs as the only way it could be done...FWIW I would not do this or spend a year in jail for a penny less than 2 million dollars...thats how much I value my freedom etc.

3. He originally said he could do the thing in the motel for 40k we upped it and gave him odds....he claims it would be easiest year of his life, and we obv disagreed with him, agree with most of you that this would be absolute torture, AND the key part of the bet is having his car right outside...with his own free will its impossible for him to be able to do this...

4. At what point in the bet has he spent enough time there that it becomes a countdown and its fairly reasonable that he might be able to do it? like if he gets through 5 months will the next 7 be easier? I dont know...I think the last 2 weeks would probably be the hardest of the whole year

Really? I think he'll crumble once the novelty of the bet has worn off, once the food becomes too repetitive, and once the ocd of 3 minute phone calls and timed showers kicks in.

If he manages 50 weeks then the last 2 won't be a problem.

I think it depends on your current lifestyle as too how hard this is for the 'prisoner', once imprisoned.

webcam whole time...no sneaking out.

The continental breakfast was an unexpected plus. Nice showers, fresh coffee, comfortable beds, good air conditioning. An all round great experience, with a room comparable to some luxury hotels we've stayed at. The staff could not have been nicer."

According to Anna in Ohio's 5 star rating, this should be a walk in the park...
LMAO.

Re: A pretty big prop bet.

I'm from the East Coast too. Foxwoods/AC regs are way slimier than your average 2p2ers.

Re: A pretty big prop bet.

i dont know about ac....i despise foxwoods and most things about the people and the area but wouldnt go as far to say they are all slimy, and I've made some real good friends in the ac regular crowd....I think there are gonna be a few slimy people anywhere you go

Re: A pretty big prop bet.

I think a great room with great food certainly would help to make it a bit easier
