SOBRIETY PROP BET SOBRIETY PROP BET

Anyone who knows me is aware that I am ruthless in the abuse of alcohol. For years I have not been able to avoid the belligerent antics I create due to my true passion of consuming adult beverages.

With that being said, I am interested in trying to survive one year without picking up a single drink. This has always been an extremely hard burden for me and is much harder than one would think. Again anyone who personally knows me would clearly attest to me lasting a year being unlikely. However like many others who offer prop bets, I like my side.

I do want to accomplish this just for myself, but as a Degen, a bet makes it more entertaining. Some rough ideas for a bet would be offering 2 to 1 to anyone willing to give action. Everyone would need to post including myself obviously. I would have to be on the honesty policy so I feel any non-disclosure on my part of drinking would result in a penalty of paying double which I would also have posted. 95% of my drinking occurs on casino grounds because gambling and liquor go so good together. So I would be an easy target to be exposed.

As far as amount of action I'm willing to take, I am currently only a thousandaire, so it would have to be minimal. Maybe $2500 cap collectively, because the more action I get would make my side much more appealing. I am open to any suggestions as far as making it fair or being as transparent about drinking as possible with everyone involved.

Also in before "We don't want you sober, we prefer you drunk and sharing the terror you create with us".

Is this bet just you not drinking for a year, or do I have to stop also?

Honestly Warmdeck I'm a big fan of yours but this bet is doomed to fail from the start, There is no possible way you are going to disclose having 1 beer at home just because you needed it. We know you too well from your consistent degenerate antics in the threads, as far as I know there is no way we can have you tested that will result in full disclosure of your CH3CH2OH intake.
just my 2 cents, Sorry but count me out.

alcohol withdrawal is dangerous. If you want to quit you need to ween yourself off. 5 beers a day, 4 per day , etc. cold turkey is dumb anyway

I'm looking more for an incentive not to drink, losing potentially $10k works for me. You got to want to win!

Yes the bet would only be me not drinking.

I don't have any intention of cheating. I would be risking doubling my loss if I was to do so. Also my integrity does mean something to me. I would much rather give up $3k if I was to get $1500 in action. Then risk giving up $6k and being labeled a cheater, liar, deadbeat, etc.

Def a hard bet to verify if those involved don't trust me. I can say there is about zero chance I have one beer at home. When I drink, its not beer, and def not one drink. I can never recall drinking at home then just staying home all night, unless I was having a house party. Which me having a house party is not happening due to me living with my girl.

Off the top of my head only check system I can think of for those involved would be maybe a facetime app. Calling me and if they think I have been drinking I can blow into a handheld breathalyzer. But I'm open to ideas of how to keep the bet fair. I do want the bet to be fun and for those involved to want to catch me.

I don't drink daily. Basically only on casino trips. Then deal with the monster hangover the next day.


Much of this idea comes from my fear of another DUI. I'm going for road test this coming Friday and don't want to make this mistake of driving under the influence ever again. Which I feel I just dodged a bullet this past weekend as I decided to drive my new car on my permit after hitting the casino. Once drunk there is no logic for not driving, hence I can't drink or this is destined to happen again.

Only way I'm in is if Poker Jay escrows the funds and he's now around 24/7 to verify 😜

WarmDeck, I wish you the best of luck, I have seen what Super Alcoholism has done to friends and family, and I think you're on the right train of thought with the "If I have a drink its going to cost me XXXX$" idea.

Hope you make it.

Spoiler:
We either have PokerJay or Strip Poker Steve with a breathalyzer to test on demand, obviously on a twitchlike stream, also they have to use it on themselves to make sure it is working, assuming of course they are drunk

That is a guarantee for both sides to lose. Poker Jay couldn't hold on to $1k even if you promised him $200 a week just not to spend any of it. Reminds me of the time playing 1-5 stud with him at the casino. He literally wouldn't fold a hand and played terrible. I had everyone laughing from the variety of slowrolls I was putting on him. It got to the point where I told him I would give him $2 for every hand he folded. With the ante being 50 cents, he could have profited $1.50 a hand. But I swear to you he never once collected $2 from me and went on to get stuck $500 in this game.



Anyways it looks like I won't be getting action. I'm most likely a huge dog in this spot anyway. Wish me luck on my own sobriety freeroll.

Lmao that's exactly the response I expected. But seriously man Gl with the no drinking. I'm one month gamble free and that's the longest it's ever been in 9 years. Really optimistic I can kick this addiction.

the only way I think you'll have a chance to go boose free is if you completely quit hanging with people who drink and only chill with people who are sober. Once your out with friends who are partying and there having a blast and your the only sober one it will be very hard to resist drinking. I'd start with baby steps and try only drinking when you know you have a room to stay in or someone else is driving and you have no access to your car.

If you make it to 6 months I would be shocked.

What if someone tries to set him up and gives him an alcoholic drink without him knowing. Does he lose the bet? It seems like there would be too many loopholes in this bet and that would ruin it. I wish you the best of luck with your sobriety WD. Although, I'm sure most people prefer you drunk. Getting sober is definitely +EV for your health.
09-03-2015 , 03:23 PM
its -ev for your mental health tho

Don't want to bet here but will be following this thread closely and rooting for WD.
