Hi everyone,

Before anyone ridicules this idea, read it all through and consider the difficulty of completing all three parts involved. This might never happen but I have the balls to do it and I will try my best.

I am 6''2 and weigh just about 73kgs (this can obv be confirmed quite easily).

The bet would be for me to drink 2 BRITISH pints (2 x 566ml)


but of red wine in 20 seconds without throwing up.

I then immediately must play an hour of live poker and make a profit.

I am willing to attempt it at some point.

What is a fair price? I was thinking at least 7.5-1.

Obviously if I do it, escrows can happen, as well as a mod from london can oversee proceedings etc.

Clearly this will ruin a night out whether it goes right or wrong so I'm not just going to do it tomorrow but if you are patient and I get the right price who knows?

In before 'I drank ten pints of wine in a minute and then 8-tabled $1000nl for 3 days straight'.

Beat/Beat: Opening and reading this OP.

[ ] poker material

who came up with this bet...

explain yourself you pleb.

I sort of came up with it but my friends are egging me on.

READ THE WHOLE THING.

2 pints in 20 seconds...? what?

don't do it

I don't get it...two pints of beer is obv easy. 2 pints of wine, nevermind red wine - not so much. Can everyone just read the whole thing before commenting, is that too difficult. I'm not replying anymore until we talk probability, conditions, money etc

to clarify. I am not an alcoholic or a massive drinkin heavyweight. I like red wine and think I have a shot. It'll be fun too, esp teh live pokers.

wost thread ever

'I drank ten pints of wine in a minute and then 8-tabled $1000nl for 3 days straight

i did read the whole thing, but it reads as if you were still drunk when you were typing.

maybe make it a little more clear before you ask people to bet on it, and they'll take you more seriously.

just a thought, seeing as they probably won't anyway.

orly? I notice that two your threads were locked including this beauty.

wp sir, **** clown.

wow this is so totally crazy. you'll never be able to tell your parents

What is the confusion? I have to drink the best part of two bottles of red wine in 20 seconds without throwing up and then immediately play an hour of live poker and make a profit. I can't tell if you're leveling me.

maybe you're drunk reading it. it seems pretty clear to me: drink 2 pints of red wine in 20 seconds without throwing up then making a profit at live cash immediately after.

I don't get the hate. Is it too easy, too difficult, too boring? All I get is the minnows coming out and slating it and others nuthugging them.

Where is this going down, The Gutshot??? Really should be slightly more challenging...

Do it, and respect if you turn this into a successss

Do people chug wine? I've never heard of such a thing, but then again, I don't drink wine.

Obv there are many variables which would be difficult to factor in, which mostly relate to the poker portion. One would have to know how good of a poker player you are (particularly when inebriated -- unless you don't get inebriated from chugging 2 bottles of wine, in which case this would be a moot point), what level you're playing at, how soft the particular game is, whether other people are in a similar state of inebriation, etc.

The odds of making a profit in an easy live game are very high. All you have to do is win a decent pot early on & fold your way to victory. I would assume you would properly integrate the strategy into your mind before the alcohol kicked in, and as such would be able to execute it on auto-pilot as necessary. Also, obv you wouldn't tip.

Therefore, I consider the odds of winning to be no worse than 1:1, which leaves the wine issue. I would presume this is somewhat doable if you are considering it, and are considering what you want to do after you do it. As such, I place the odds of it happening at no worse than 2.5:1.

There is also the throwing up factor, which I have previously ignored (because I didn't remember reading about it). There is roughly a 1:9 chance against this happening imo.

As such, I place the odds on the entire enterprise at 5.3:1.

Done & done imo.

Since when is chugging wine difficult? Change that to hard liquor then you're talking...

The odds are a little too high for people to consider taking action (even though they may be realistic for this type of bet)

If you think back too all the prop bets that have taken place, They have all been 5-1 or lower (5-1 being poopys bet) and 2-1 (which has been the norm, WCGRider/Constanza (sp?) and ChicagoJoey)

None of them bets were easy and the lines imo should have been set higher, But had to be lowered to get enough interest/action.

If this got off the floor, I live <30 mins from london. I'd be glad to film/witness this bet go down.

Drinking prop bets are always fun and I think the drinking part here is harder than most think. But I think its a weird combination of stuff to do here. You could play perfect for that hour and still not make a profit or get lucky in one pot and then fold for the rest of the hour.

Make something with drinking and endurance, for example. Drink one pint a hour for five hours playing poker with out passing out or throw up and still be able to play.

EDIT: hmmm maybe that is to easy but you get my point

No, I would say it's just too stupid.

Finally some sensible replies. Ok so 5-1 is what people might agree and I get that. They think that it is fairly unlikely and if they lose they don't have to shell out too much.

I think it's a little unfair but if I feel confident then that would have to do.

As for the live poker thing - I understand that I could win a pot and lock up. The fact that I'll be totally off my trolley (seriously, don't commment if you've never had 2 bottles of wine in a hour, never mind 20 seconds) is by the by. If there is a better goal to achieve? I don't know, someone put something forward. I am getting a little irritated by some idiot saying 'do it with hard liquor'. Yes because I'm going to down a bottle of whiskey in 7 seconds and play - wtf is wrong with you.

I would lay anyone my size to do this and give them 7.5-1 easy.

As for whether I'm good at poker. I probably would be playing max £200nl and I am a better live player than online player. Do the odds increase if I play omahahaha?
