Prop bets happen year round and sometimes are some of the funniest and strangest things in the world. I’ve seen prop bets about losing absurd amounts of weight, trying to run insane distances, and even one recently where a guy tried to eat $1000 in McDonalds in 36 hours. Top 10 Craziest Poker Prop Bets of All Time. 11:00 08 Sep (Photo: Thehendonmob.com) If they don’t involve Bill Perkins, Antonio Esfandiari or Dan Bilzerian, they don’t get much exposure these days, but crazy and wonderful prop bets are not the preserve of the ‘Billionaire club’ – sometimes even ordinary millionaires indulge in some mad action to fill the gaps in the poker calendar! Step one: everyone plays the prop bets. Step two: everyone calls BB and checks down. 10 chances at hitting a straight or better per hand. Step three: profit? Edit: tried to find the rules for this prop bet with no success. The poker room rules are here. There’s a mention of the prop bet but no explanation. Famous Prop Bets in Poker History. Prop betting is a long-standing tradition in the poker world. If you’ve ever been to a live poker game, you’ve likely encountered thrill-seeking players who will wager on anything – from which card will show up on the river to whether or not they can do 100 push-ups.Poker player Mike Noori’s bet to supersize himself on McDonald’s this weekend is part of a long tradition of outrageous prop bets. From Paul Ivey to Dan Bilzerian, Paul Phua picks out 10 favourites
Starting from today (Friday May 19), poker player Mike Noori has just 36 hours in which to eat $1,000 of McDonald’s food. Many people believe it cannot be done, estimating that he will need to consume about 70,000 calories – the recommended daily amount is less than 3,000! Others say it can: hundreds of thousands of dollars have by now been wagered on the outcome by poker players.And why is Mike Noori putting his body through this ordeal? Because he was challenged to do so in a prop bet.Some poker players will gamble on just about anything: whether it’s as small as what the next woman to enter the room will be wearing, or as big as eating several weeks’ worth of food in 36 hours! The most outrageous of these prop bets make great stories. Here are just ten of them, starting with some old-timers:Titanic Thompson and the golf ball
Titanic Thompson, who hosted the very first World Series of Poker, is one of the most famous gamblers of all time. Sky Masterson, the hero of the musical Guys and Dolls, was based on him. He was no fool: when Titanic Thompson made a prop bet, he always had an angle. He would first secretly count all the watermelons in a truck and later wager, during a seemingly casual conversation with bystanders, that he could guess the exact number. Another time he bet he could throw a walnut over a building, having first secretly weighted it with lead. And when he bet he could drive a golf ball 500 yards, further than any golf pro had managed at that time, he found no shortage of takers for this seemingly impossible feat. But he simply waited till winter, then drove the ball, bouncing, over a frozen lake!Amarillo Slim and the ping pong battle
Amarillo Slim was one of the great old-school poker players, who won the first of his four WSOP bracelets in 1972. He, too, would bet on almost anything. Perhaps his most famous prop bet was when he challenged Bobby Riggs, a former tennis champ, to a table tennis match. Slim’s one condition was that he could choose the paddles they used. He showed up with two frying pans, having secretly practised with them for months beforehand. He won the match. He successfully repeated the trick years later against a Taiwanese ping-pong champion, though this time his weapon of choice was Coca-Cola bottles!Brian Zembic and his 38C breast implants
A magician and high-stakes gambler, Brian Zembic was famous for his bizarre prop bets: he lived in a box for a week and in a bathroom for another week. For another bet he slept the night in Central Park with $20,000 on his person. But one prop bet in particular made the headlines. In 1996, for a $100,000 bet, he agreed to have breast implants – 38C, to be precise – and keep them for a year. He even won the $4,500 cost of the operation from a cosmetic surgeon at backgammon. Not only did Zembic go through with it, he kept the implants for two decades. It was only last year that he appeared on the reality TV show, Botched, saying he had finally decided to have them removed.Antonio Esfandiari and the lunges
What is it with magicians? Poker pro Antonio Esfandiari is also a former magician, and one of the most entertaining people you could share a card table with. His willingness to take a prop bet is legendary, though he often lives to regret it: he once swore off eating bread for a year, but cracked after a few minutes; a bet to remain celibate for a year was cancelled after nine days. But the prop bet that made the headlines, for all the wrong reasons, was one where for 48 hours he was not allowed to walk, only to lunge forward (going down on one knee then the other). It caused him so much pain that at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, rather than face going to the toilet, he made use of an empty water bottle at the table, and was promptly disqualified for “breach of tournament etiquette”. To Antonio Esfandiari’s credit, he offered up a sincere public apology for taking things too far, and donated his $50,000 winnings from the prop bet to charity.Phil Ivey and the $150,000 steak
Phil Ivey is another player who is never afraid to take a big bet. His golf course wagers with Doyle Brunson and Daniel Negreanu are the stuff of legend, and he famously had a $5 million wager on whether he could win two WSOP bracelets in two years (despite his 10 bracelets overall, he only managed one bracelet in that period). But his craziest prop bet was when Tom Dwan challenged him to go vegetarian for a year. Phil Ivey stood to take down $1 million if he could swear off meat, something he had been thinking of doing anyway. But in the event, Phil Ivey said, he was too busy to work out how to eat healthily, and found eating pasta three times a day affected his poker. So he bought out of the bet after just nine days. The cost of that first juicy steak? $150,000…Read part two of this Top 10, along with the eagerly awaited result of this weekend’s McDonald’s prop bet.14:2008 Jun
There’s something about poker and prop betting that seems to go hand in hand. Anyone who has spent any significant time around the game and its culture knows that poker players are addicted to action - both on and off the table. Simply put, there is never a dull moment when you are hanging around with poker players. There is a long and storied history of people doing things for money that are humiliating, insane, or sometimes just downright dangerous.
Of course, we could also use another adjective to describe these antics, hilariously entertaining. OK, so that was two adjectives, but you get the point. Nothing is quite as intriguing as watching someone do something ridiculous in the name of money. When it’s one of our poker heroes with their money/body/soul on the line, it gets even better.
Reputations can be made and broken in some prop bets. In the most extreme cases, legends can be born. But be warned, although prop betting may be a quick way to make a name for yourself in the poker world, it can also be hazardous to your health. So by all means, while you are free to enjoy this list of five of the sickest poker prop bets in history, it’s highly recommended that you don’t try these at home.#5: Mike Matusow wins $100,000 weight-loss bet
Mike “the Mouth” Matusow is rightfully known for his loud, overbearing personality and crazy antics, but he is also a legendary gambler in his own right, a fact which was on display during the lead-up to the 2008 World Series of Poker. Ted Forrest had bet Matusow $100,000 that he couldn’t weigh 181 pounds by the first week of the 2008 WSOP, and with only nine days left to go, Matusow still had 12 pounds to lose.
That’s when Matusow’s legendary capacity for degenerate behavior kicked in. After an offer to buy out of the bet for $50,000 was rejected, he started to exercise constantly, even choosing to fast over the course of the last five days. When time was finally up, he weighed in at a sleek 179 pounds. Of course, the weight didn’t stay off for long once the $100K he banked for pulling it off was put into his pockets.
#4 Durrr Bets a Million Dollars Ivey Can’t Go Vegetarian
An episode of High Stakes Poker never needs more action to be entertaining, but that’s exactly when happened in 2010 when a million dollar prop bet occurred between two legends of the game: Tom Dwan and Phil Ivey.Poker Prop Bets Reddit Games
Apparently bored while casually gambling tens of thousands of dollars at the poker table, Dwan bet $1,000,000 (that’s six zeros) that Ivey couldn’t go an entire year without eating meat. Ivey lasted a whole three weeks before tapping out and paying Dwan $150,000.Poker Prop Bets Reddit Fantasy
Personally, I still think that shows some serious willpower on Ivey’s part.
#3 Dan Bilzerian Bikes 324 Miles In Under 48 Hours
Dan Bilzerian - “The King of Instagram” - never seems to do anything that doesn’t induce shock and awe in us mere mortals, but even for him, taking a $600,000 bet with Bill Perkins that he could bike from the iconic “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada” sign to his home in Los Angeles, California in under 48 hours seemed pretty intense. The fact that Bilzerian has already suffered multiple heart attacks in his life and is pushing the age of 40, didn’t seem to bother him when agreeing to the prop bet.
After enlisting none other than legendary cyclist and Tour de France winnerLance Armstrong for six weeks of training, Bilzerian was ready to go. Defying all the naysayers, he was able to complete the bet without suffering a heart attack in the process, or any other permanent injury.
#2 Ashton Griffin Pushes the Limits of Human Stamina
Feats of endurance are a popular theme in prop bets, but without a doubt the most incredible wager in this category came in 2011 when poker pro Ashton Griffin made a bet that he could run 70 Miles in just 24 Hours.
Adding to the difficulty, the bet was not planned, leaving Griffin to attempt it on four hours of sleep after a night of partying. But Griffin was a former high school wrestler who was no stranger to pushing through pain and sending his body past its limits.
Incredibly, that’s exactly what he did. Fueled by constant one-hour naps, pasta, and sports drinks, Griffin was able to win the bet - with 45 minutes to spare - and pocket $300,000 for his near super-human exploits.
Poker Prop Bets Reddit Streams#1 MMA Fight Between JC Alvarado and Olivier Busquet
Giving new meaning to the term “be aggressive” poker pros JC Alvarado and Olivier Busquet decided to mix it up away from the poker table. In what easily qualifies in my mind as the single most badass poker player prop bet of all time, they agreed to have a five round MMA fight, with the winner taking home $270,000. They each took a full six-months to prepare for what became a highly anticipated event within the poker community.
Anyone who has ever competed in combat sports knows just how grueling they can be on the body, and it’s even more so for two people used to spending their days sitting comfortably around a poker table. Committing to such a drastic change in lifestyle (such as volunteering to get punched in the face) for a full half-year is an intense proposition.Poker Prop Bets Reddit Sites
Although JC Alvarado came in as the favorite due to his experience with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu prior to the match, in the end it was Olivier Busquet whose relentless, powerful strikes caused enough damage that Alvarado’s corner decided to call the fight. But even though it was Busquet who took home the cash, both men definitely left with an experience that they should be proud of.
