View Full Version : In Honor of GOT - Make $10


SmileyEH

Here's the thing. I haven't been to the gym regularly in like 4 months. I've lost at least 10lbs and my once cut physique has been reduced to pale scrawny.

Therefore, for the next 2 months (until the week ending May. 14) I pledge to workout at least 3 times a week barring sickness or injury otherwise I will pay $10 (transfer over netteller) to everyone that replies to this thread.

I'll keep weekly updates with weight, athletic benchmarks etc. and MacDaddyWarsaw will verify that I have indeed gone to the gym the requisite number of times. Since its already tuesday I'm only pledging two visits this week, and because I'm horribly out of shape.

So there you have it, easy $10 for anyone that replies.

You seriously never would. If something crazy happened like you broke your leg in a car accident or something and couldnt work out, you wouldnt pay us, even though you were braking your side of the deal.

But good luck.

EDIT: ok clearly my example is bad, as you covered this, but there are other reasons that you may be unable to work out that are out of your control, and I dont think you would ever pay us.

3 times a week shouldn't be hard. I stoped lifting for almost a month and lost a good ten pounds. That was reason enough for me to get back in the gym.

I accept personal checks, party and stars transfers. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

If you are really serious about something like this, this is what you do.

Make some tough claim like you are going to lose 25 pounds in 2 months. Now, make a legitimate bet with someone that you can do this. Give them incredible odds so they will take the bet. Bet a remotely significant amount, so you will have motivation.

Even if the bet is money -EV for you, it is overall +EV because of the increased motivation, and the likelihood that even if you fail, you will still have been close and lost a bunch of weight (even if you had to pay for it).

Making posts like this are fake motivation. You are not actually binding yourself to anything.

Ok, its past midnight tuesday so no more replies count - Superflous Man is cool cause i'm late. So by a rough count it looks like I'll owe almost 1.5k. First trip is tomorrow.

As Warsaw says, I have every intention of paying if I can't manage this. However, I'd put the chance of my failing at around 10% therefore I'm taking a $150 EV hit or so to get back in shape.

Thanks for all the support from most, and the bored hostility from some.
