Fraud!!!! He should have refused to pay and taken you to court.

I blame lack of caffeine, and am also going to claim you edited your post!

yes i realized it was ambiguous so i edited it

for all the people speculating huck it is not.
Don't want to out them but he plays mainly no limit / plo and is under 40

I play micro poker and cant move up for years and I am constantly broke and cant find normal/proper job for nuclear technologist, so I would do that for $10k but I do not have the money to bet it, therefor have to borrow them and win obviously

I was in Vegas two weeks ago playing at Bellagio and the dealer brought up that some guys in the bigger no limit game were talking about it. It lead me to believe that it was one of the players in the game that was going to be doing this. If that is the case it is not Huck Seed.

That being said, my thought was that it is a terrible bet to take. I am taking for granted that the person either is a winning player or has some sort of outside income to be able to play at those stakes and make the bet. If a winning player, I would assume they are making $100+/hr. If they just played all month they would be making something north of $12,000 (30 hours per week at $100/hr), and potentially a lot more if they have a higher hourly or put in more hours.

As a result the best case scenario is that they make $88,000 more than they would just living normally, possibly only $75,000 more if higher win rates, etc... Worst case they spend a couple weeks in isolation and then quit the bet. So they lose $100k plus the opportunity to make $6k+ in the time they were in isolation. Add in the fact that if they do in fact win the bet they will most likely need days, maybe weeks to get re-acclimated to normal life, in which they would cost themselves even more earning power and it may be something like if you win the bet you really are only $70,000 better off than if you didn't do it, but could be $115,000 worse off than you would be if you didn't do it. So really you aren't even getting 1:1 on your bet, it is more like 3:5 or 4:5 based on what you would be giving up to try to complete the bet.

Without light, that’s a hard pass from me. Give me a standard two room apartment with boarded up windows and a decent internet connection plus time to prepare, yeah sure I’d do it.

internet connection counts as human interaction I believe

thanks. should narrow it down

Thats probably not much of a change of life for many grinders.

Armchair psychologists itt, lol.

Money motivates you, a strong will helps you and a very zen mind makes this possible.

Huge lol to they guy mentioning this could cause schizophrenia, jusus christ man, do you have any idea how dumb that statement is?

I'd do this for 1k
1:1 odds.

This seems impossibly difficult and potentially dangerous without supervision. A daily psych check by a trained professional should be mandatory to even consider this. 100k is not worth risking your mental health.

The way to go would be basically sleeping 20 hours a day right?

Just lol at the odds being 1:1 for something this brutal. I'm sure it has been done before, by POW's who had no choice. Voluntarily doing this? My first instinct would be that is is impossible but people can do amazing things so it is probably possible but not by anyone who has a choice. I'd be stunned if he lasted a week. I wouldn't attempt it for any amount of money personally.

"I don't want to out him.... but I'll out him a little so I seem 'in the know'!"

That's not how it works. With no light humans usually adopt a 36 hour day, sleep for 12 hours and they are awake for 24. Sleeping for 83% of the month sounds horrible to me.

I don’t think you could tell your body to sleep 20 hours a day...
wouldn’t know when it’s night and day

This would easily make people snap and go insane.
I bet 90% people fail by 3 days in

Subbed

If they failed before 3 days in it would be because they realized theyd never make it a month, doing this for 3 days I would think at least 90% of people would succeed for any real amount of money.

If he makes it, someone should shine a really bright flashlight at his eyes right when he walks out of the bathroom, as a joke.

And the bathroom will be blackout dark I assume? Would the bet be any different if he were blindfolded instead?

They should let scientists know about the bet. Sounds like it’s hard for scientists to get volunteers for this sort of study.

Seen this tried on youtube many times (minus complete darkness). They are ok after about a day. After 3 days is when their mental health rapidly declines. These examples also included monetary compensation but it didn't seem to help. After the 3/4 day mark I think he will be drawing dead. Let's say he does get some sleep and makes it to day 5. When he wakes up he will have lost all awareness of what day it is. . Perhaps he thinks the rubik's cube will give some sort of mental health edge? doubt it.

What's even the point of a rubik's cube in a dark room lmao

Is there a livefeed? What kinda restroom is this, I assume someone's largish bathroom? How can he see where to piss and crap?

fwiw I think the light thing makes him draw absolutely dead. I think he'd be drawing dead on a week in full darkness too.

Give him a clock and let him control the light switch and this suddenly becomes a real bet
