Prop Bet: Lose 15 pounds of body weight in 72 hrs.
 

A couple of friends of mine are very close to agreeing to terms on the subject prop bet for $10,000. Jim has said that he can lose 15 pounds in 3 days. Jim can use any method he needs to lose the weight including using laxatives, sauna, drugs, etc. Jim is about 6ft. and 200 pounds so he is not overweith to begin with.

Tom on the other side of the bet was negotiating that Jim would have to eat at one Burger King Whopper each day of the bet. This point has not yet been agreed on but is still on the table for negotiation.

Any thoughts on who has the best of it or methods you might use to lose this much weight this fast.

I don't think without fasting someone of Jim's body type can lose this much weight so quickly.

Edit - For Jihad - Wow really? Didn't know that...

Find a wrestler or a boxer, and ask them. This bet is VERY easy. Your buddy just won 10 gr...

If its true, which I doubt....

I'm not that big a guy and I've lost 12 pounds in 3 days just from having the stomach flu. So I'd say it's certainly possible.

depending how overweight your buddy is, it's not THAT hard.

weighing time is also important (after a work out, etc). after double practices in football (5-6 hours), I've lost 8-9 pounds

I could do this, with little trouble, in 1.5 days. ECSPECIALLY if I was able to do whatever I wanted in the hours leading up to the weigh-in.

I don't think this can be done. But I wouldn't put my money where my mouth is as drugging it up can REALLY skew this to an almost possible - Maybe staying up for 3 days, eating nothing but doing speed and excersizing would do the trick.

If he can load up on water before the bet, this is super easy. All the water would come out as sweat, and you win the bet without too much hassle.

This is a pretty easy $10k. Go ask any college wrestler for tips.
