Strange prop bet between Matt Savage and MIke Noori - Page 11 - Poker News

there is absolutely zero chance he will win this without dying. He'd be better off moving to the UK to do the bet. $1000 worth of Macdonalds in the UK is way less food than in the USA

he'll be lucky if he gets 300 dollars worth of food down before realizing he has no shot

Can he go to the hospital and have his stomach pumped empty over and over?

Not saying this would happen or anything, but have you never been to a bar in your entire life?

So far a lot of analysis has focused on calories.

What I'm wondering is cubic volume. What does $1000 look like in apple slices or hamburgers?

A bar isn't an easy target for a lawsuit like mcdnalds

Except he can't. Did you read the rules?

Seems like a lot of time and expense to just make a slightly better run at a bet that he'd still lose.

Not that it's allowed under the terms of the bet anyway.

There's been some discussion of that as well. It's the reason why, even without the hot food requirement, the bet wouldn't be winnable with salad or apple slices as well - just too much ****ing food. Not sure about hamburgers; hasn't been especially relevant since the calories alone make it seem unachievable already.

If it were allowed, just go down to Venezuela.

McDonald's french fries cost $133 in Venezuela

100 percent disagree, I would do this in 3 intervals over 3 days over 36 hours. I would go about my day with a fair amount of exercise and then around 10 PM I would start and hammer out 1/3 of the challenge.

Head to bed about 12 AM and wakeup and exercize and smash more , go about my day and then maybe smash some more around 10 PM again.

Around Midnight this leaves at 26 hours into the challenge. back to bed and wake up and finish it off

You sound very lazy, but who knows maybe he will spend a decent percentage of the challenge's 36 hours sleeping as you recommend. If it was me, I would spend it eating, walking and eating, and pooping (and maybe walking and pooping).

I just think sitting down for 36 hours and trying to do this would make it so much more difficult unless he has a trick up his sleave that makes this very very easy to win

Why do you guys keep on trying to make schedules for how to eat an amount which is absolutely impossible to eat? It's like having a serious discussion over what is the best way to drive from LA to NYC in 4 hours

"I think I'd do it in four 1hr steps"

"Nah man just do the whole drive at once and have it over with"

you jam down 500 pieces of bacon in the first hour, throw up, and then you a piece of bacon every ten minutes for the rest of the time, with a few burgers thrown in. Definitely not healthy but not impossible.

Depending on the site, I've found estimates of 45-90 calories per serving, and around 10 g in weight. Almost 19 pounds of bacon, coming in at 38-76,000 calories - piece of cake!

Except the calories are irrelevant for the pieces you puke out. If the rules don't specify it you could ask for the bacon "well done" too which would cook even more of the fat out of it and make it smaller in volume.

I would expect that's true, for the most part.

Yes, but I don't expect the difference would be dramatic.

Regardless, I don't see 19 pounds of bacon as being a path to success here, even with your strategy of "jam[ming] down" 11 pounds of bacon within the first hour.

Really unlucky imo if he manages this. To eat $300 of McD's and lose would be waaaay worse than a buyout before the bet starts.

There's a video of LA Beast trying and failing to eat a ton of bacon, not going to do the math but he came nowhere near the amount needed to win this challenge, and he's a very good competitive eater.

My emphasis. Mind numbing how out of the loop whacky people can be. But hey, it's the internet
