Shaun Deeb 100k to 1M 17% body fat bet with Bill Perkins - Page 24 - Poker News

5 years is way too optimistic. Less than a year is more realistic.

It's pretty easy for an obese person to drop a lot of weight one time. They almost always gain most or more back.

Check out the show "The Biggest Loser", those obese people dropped 100s of lbs and almost all of them gained it back.

Shaun got his start 24 tabling 180 man sit and gos on Pokerstars.

If you have the discipline to win and get good at that, not eating for a year and picking up 900k, was always going to be a walk in the park for him.

Shaun Deeb is none of these things. He's very young and arrogant.

If that was true he wouldn't have been a fat slob for so long. Its called greed and lazyness. If you think a life time of that vanishes over a prop bet you are lol.

LOL @ 24 table 18hour day grinding in 2005 requiring discipline of the same kind that losing weight does. It required the ability to mindlessly and slovenly sit in your chair 18 hours a day repeating the same decisions ad infinitum.

Perkins was still favored to win the bet so its really baffling why he decided to gift Deeb the money.
