I could understand the guy taking this bet if he was broke and offered a 100k freeroll but damn this seems stupid. If he's got 100k to bet he can't be doing too badly so the money's nowhere near worth it. I've no idea what the true line would be but evens is pure theft.

Saying this would be easy is insane, agree that if getting a 100k freeroll it would definitely be worth the try but betting 100k at 1:1 on this seems like a horrible wager

Can we please have a chainbore containment thread?

Sounds like a good even bet if it was a week instead of 30 days imo. Dude's screwed.

Does he get a ****ing clock or some sort of daily update ala "It is now day x"? I assume there is some function like this built in (maybe he gets food every other day or something) because if he never knows how long he has been there for he's 100% screwed. Still think he's screwed though, too long.

I'm going to assume that he walks out after day 3.

No amount of money or odds could make me do this

This is absurd and I can't believe somebody would do this at 1:1

I would give it a shot for more money and odds that make it a virtual freeroll.

1.000.000:1 with me putting up $10 or $100 would definitely get me interested. No freaking way I would do it for 1:1.

I don't think this is possible to achieve, or at least not worth $100k, or at least deserving of better than 1:1 payout.

For some precedent:
vsaunce did 3 days in isolation with only light (so the opposite of only darkness but keep in mind it made sleeping difficult) and he nearly quit/had some lasting psychological effect [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqKdEhx-dD4]

Decades ago an Italian woman set a world record for longest time in isolation at around half a year but she had a custom-built space in a cave with self-adjustable lights, chairs, bed, reading material, and even a computer terminal with only IM to communicate with outside world. She probably could've gone longer and now she only holds the women's record as another guy went a full year since then. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYENl-P3Zh8]

I think this challenge could be done very reasonably if the person had reading material and self-controlled light. Even with just self-controlled light so the person can see their food and their toiletries could be a big difference.

One thing that could make it a little easier is without natural light, the body's circadian rhythm greatly expands. The aforementioned 2 people in the caves both thought they were only halfway through their study when they were told to come out after the pre-determined length of time as a result of their day extending to 48 hours (24-36 hours awake, 12-24 hours sleep).

As mentioned previously should be freeroll or way better odds.

people saying this is impossible are naive.

The amount of money and odds all depends on the person circumstance. Anyone who can afford to wager $100K has got to be a maaaaaaaasive dog tho, and at even money this might be one of the worst bets ive read about.

Kind of crazy tho how just the absence of light makes the bet go from pretty easy to ridiculously hard.

wow, I hope no one ever makes a bet with you. You lose a bet you pay, period. Not try and scum your way out of it.

Yeah, I hope no one ever tricks me to take a bet which is as destructive to my health, completely illegal and immoral. There are contracts laws for a reason. There is a reason you can't sign your life to slavery or bet for your hand or kidney. Even innocent (in comparison) contracts like non-competes are illegal in many jurisdictions and if they are legal there are many rules to how they should be constructed.

No sorry, we have this in law for a reason. It's responsibility of both sides to make the deal at least somewhat reasonable. If someone manages to trick you into taking obviously terrible deal the legal system protects you in all civilized countries, especially if your health is going to be damaged if you were forced to follow through.

Maybe you think that if I agree to give up all my income for next 30 years to you if I lose a game of chess I should be obliged to do that? There are boundaries to what is an acceptable contract and this is way beyond those boundaries.

Thought I saw on Twitter or somewhere the player is Huck Seed. Sorry if I missed that already being mentioned

The human mind is a lot more fragile than we are led to believe. He will undoubtedly be hallucinating and weeping uncontrollably. There is a good chance he will suffer from lasting mental problems (such as claustrophobia) when he emerges back into the real world. Unless this guy has truly pondered ego death, solipsism, or meditation he is drawing dead. Odds should be closer to 10-1.

Everyone who allows this to go down either passively or by active participation, like escrow or stream observer etc. is a ****ing moron period.

When some people say "a bet is a bet, period" do they draw a line ever? I guess not as they put "period" in there, which you must realize is stupidity at best.

Some people cannot say no, don't understand the risks etc.

Im utterly disgusted seing you guys discussing this like its some kind of boxing-match or deserve any attention.

Its basically a human torture experiment that is way beyond what´s reasonable to discuss here or anywhere really. The whole community should take a ****ing stand against this no matter how it happened. Or what the **** comes next after this level?

He has completed some gnarly prop bets in the past but this seems impossible.

PLZ set up infrared livestream so I can bet on this S**T.

rip eyes probably.

without room to physically exercise as already noted, i think this is a hugeeeee dog.

clearly the person will be mentally insane afterwards. to take the bet you have to almost be mentally insane. this will push them over the edge

is it no light or no daylight? no light at all makes this impossible and what is the rubiks cube for?

Easy peasy.

Without proper CIA-like training for torture and etc, this has to be a huge dog and even if completed, the mental health following the win will take quite a hit
