The goal: Have some fun. Do some gambling. Lose weight. Help a charity continue it’s good work.
The groups in play:
Heavy weights- Men: 50 pounds.
Women: 30 pounds
Middle weights- Men: 30 pounds
Women: 20 pounds
Light weights- Men: 20 pounds
Women: 15 pounds.
Set up: This is set up like Vegas. Everyone who is in play must put in a $10 blind. This get’s your name on the table. Every two weeks we bet. You can stand, raise or fold. The betting is unlimited but keep in mind that if you just slap that Visa down hard you will blow the game and this is more about fun. Understanding my place here I want it to be known that I will probably be out early on the betting early so there is no funny buisness.
Stating of weight after your first statement is illegal. You are free to talk smack and update everyone but by leaving numbers out we will have the ability to bluff or lean on other players. This is gambling after all.
At the end of the time frame we will have the winner in each group. A secondary winner will also be voted on. We will post before and after pictures of our fronts, sides and backs. Everyone will hold a newspaper up in both sets of photos to show the date the pictures where taken. Everyone will vote on these pictures to see who looks a lot better.
Money: The money will go to the charity of the winners choosing under the winners name. We need someone to agree to be the house and collect the bets and arnage to have them sent to the winner’s charity. Being house will be a pain in the ass so I call for a house cut of 15% of winnings. I will not be the house.
Teams: Teams can be formed. Groups can get around a horse and offer any help they want. If the team begins to bet for the horse then that horse must put “Team” in front of his handle for the rest of the show. For example “Tri Guppy” will become “Team Tri Guppy.”
Outside betting: Do this! Any bets outside the game are the responability of the individuals betting. Bet on anything and keep everyone updated.
Prizes: Anyone want to dig up some prizes for the winners? Since the cash will be going to a worthy cause a little something for the winner’s personal collection would be nice. This is depending on prize donations. No donations no prizes.
What is needed for the in: A picture of your front, side and back must be posted by approved date. Your in must be approved by the house by the approved date. You must post starting weight and height.
Proving weight lose: I think the honors system will work because of the pictures but a different system can be put into play if anyone has an idea.
This is all general. The details are up to us so start posting any changes.
