Prop bet: No human contact for 2 months - Page 3 - Poker Beats Brags and Variance

I alt-tab between forum'ing and CS:S pretty hardcore.

Also I run dual monitors so I can leave a browser up on small monitor and still get my frag on.

i'll start with putting $500 up, i might do more, but hopefully it helps to encourage some aciton.

this is also contingent on final rules

internet access makes this bet significantly easier. i'd even be hesitant to bet this for even money.

good2cu bet some guy he couldnt spend a month in a bellagio bathroom with no human contact. guy broke the rules like a billion times, then actually quit early. Good2cu still paid him because he both sucks at prop bets and got massively raped by the arbitrator (who was the other guys best friend, lol). The whole thing was pretty funny, because what should have been a ******edly easy bet to win the other guy kept effing it up, but he still ended up getting paid and only spent like 20 days in the bathroom

fwiw if this doesn't go I'd be willing to put 3:1 up on the same rules and stipulations(I don't actually know what that word means and refuse to look it up) for most people.

Seriously the entire month of October without discussing anything with anyone or even hearing people discussing anything is borderline nuts. People saying this is "easy" are almost as stupid as the people saying it'd be easy to drink 8500 shots of 151 in 10 minutes without puking or dying.

This is too easy for 2 to 1 odds imo - I'm not putting money on this.

i didn't see in your OP anything that would technically ban you from browsing ESPN or anything like that. in fact, your original rules are probably being misinterpreted by a lot of people. you essentially said "i can eat apples and oranges but i can't eat pears or bananas". then people have to make assumptions about watermelons and kiwis. no human contact can ambiguously ban TV or not.

i think you should make it all clearer.

Oh. I sort of thought that was implied. I hate sports etc. and don't really believe in news or politics so that'd be out too.

2:1 says half of the people in this thread couldn't go 2 months without 2p2 or some other forum.

uh.... you should be the one giving odds. this isn't super easy but certainly isn't difficult if the money means anything to you.

hmm that's actually a decent consideration. Maybe put the camera far enough back + lower the res that you can't see my hole cards.

What did WCG do about that?

his was far away, you couldn't tell what was on the screen. but the problem is he just needed to prove it was him playing. you need to prove nothing goes on on your computer other than poker.
