Title: Bet on my weight loss (double your money)
Post by: FatGuy1 on September 03, 2020, 08:10:57 AM
Hi,

I am a very fat man. I have been consistently gaining weight for the last few years. I currently weigh about 145KG at 5ft11, body fat at about 45%.

I would like to place a bet with someone to motivate me to lose weight.

I bet that I can lose 45KG within 7 months from now (about a third of my current weight). If I don't, you get double your money back. The max I am willing to bet on this is 0.5 BTC.

We will only use a trusted forum member as escrow for this. Additionally we will also do a video call (you don't need to show your face) before and after to confirm that I am the same person and that the weight loss did indeed take place. If I am above 100KG at any point, you get to keep the entire bet plus double back. Also happy to fly down to where you live if you are in the EU/UK to do a verification IRL at a medical center or hospital pre and post.

Your proposal has more or less the same pitfalls as the ones discussed in above thread...

Nice find, this seems the exact same concept. OP is likely to be a sockpuppet alt account of the other OP in the thread you linked. Its likely that they just tried to avoid criticism and came back some time later to try again.

Yeah, that is my account (that I don't know the password to). Funnily enough, I've gained 5KG since. Anyway, in order to combat the main challenge posed, I would be happy to meet the bettor at a medical center in the UK or EU to have my weight verified and to meet them in person before the funds are escrowed.

If you're too bothered about your weight gain, why do you need to place a bet to lose it, you can use that money to get your self a personal doctor, trainer or a psychologist to help you out with losing weight.
Funnily enough, I've gained 5KG since.
This thread will end up the way the former one did (with no one taking up your bet) so maybe another 5kg coming your way. >:(

It's just an offer. If you don't want to fill it, don't bother commenting. Thanks.
