My god. One of my housemates just told me we all made a bet last night. I can't shave for 3 weeks!

What's the most stupid bet you ever accepted? Did you win?

What's the most stupid bet you ever accepted? Did you win?

I bet a friend he couldn't run into this yard with a dog in it and steal his bowl without being bitten. I won! :D

Never been offered one.

Always had the practice of "if you won't; I will" so I guess that made it a sucker bet for people.

Not shaving for 3 weeks? Easy!

Good idea.

Day #1 (http://img175.echo.cx/img175/7158/picture122ja.jpg): I was already shabby. I really wanted to shave today

Good idea.

Shabby? Heh, I should send you a pic of my brother when he skips a day. It gives "shabby" a whole new definition.

Go to the local drugstore and buy a can of "magic shave" powder. It's a depilatory made for black men so they don't get razor bumps, but it works just as well on white people beards. Technically you won't be shaving, so you can stay well groomed and still win the bet.

lol. yeah I know. Shabby for me. This is about 4 days without shaving


And DCR: I'm not a cheater

Good for you. Technically it's not cheating though, it's just a loophole in the contract. I do agree that it violates the spirit of the contract.

True true, but I will still try to get through it without using loopholes ;)


EDIT: I wonder if it was just for my face or for other parts too :confused:

My buddy bet me that I couldn't survive in the Alaskan wilderness for 2 weeks with just a pair of shorts and a K-Bar knife. It was early spring so the temps were cold, but I was picked up two weeks later, gained 5 lbs, had a caveman type fur coat on, and was $10,000 richer.

Good idea.

First: Cute! :)

Second: That's shabby? I think I need to go shave right now...

I think I will.

Anyway: People. Discuss! Amuse us

Stupidest bet i accepted was if would go over to that big, mean guy and pour his own beer over him. I hesitated accepting it, waited for him to go to the johns, told him about it and that we should split the win, gave him his 50 bucks ahead, and did the deed. He made some fuss about it, threatened me a bit but "calmed down" after the waitress stepped in. So i got my hundred (fifty).

Awesome! :D

yer gonna get that itchy neck-beard.



One dopey bet I was involved in- out drinking with friends, a friend was bragging how much he could drink and he could drink anything. There was a small,clear oil lamp on the table-I bet he couldnt drink that. He immediately pinched the fuse out of it,twisted the top off and chugged the oil.
An hour later, his twin brother at a urinal tapping his head on the wall as he pissed. I bet if he did it a little harder, he could put his head right through the wall. In mid-stream, he slammed his forehead right through the wall. The sheet rock in this spot had a large plaster patch, so it must have been done before. Picture a tottering drunk with his head in the wall, covered in dust, still pissing and laughing.

I dont do stunts on bets myself. I've always manipulated others for my amusement.

Once I bet somebody that he couldn't survive being shot in the head.

I won. ;)

How much did you get from it?

Best one for me...

My two house mates weren't having much luck with the ladies shall we say...in fact they were pretty desperate.

So to spur them on I offered a crate of beer once a week for a month to the person who got laid first.

My girlfriend was coming 3 weeks later so as I was pretty much guaranteed to win it by then my mates started trying to pull women...

...3 weeks later and not one bed spring had been flexed for any other reason than sleeping...

...needless to say on the last night these guys were trying it on with anything that could vaguely be classed as female...

...pity still no luck, and I had free beer for the next month. Excellent. :D

Now that's how you exploit a loophole in a bet.

How much did you get from it?15% of his inheritance, which came out to be about £1000.

:rolleyes:
Thats more than I can. Make the circles smaller, and funnier shaped. Cept the eyebrows, combine them into big oval all the way across the face and draw in big bold lines.

I am teh ugly.

I get decent scruff all over Mo is a little weak. :(
It also has this wicked shade of Orange Brown compared to my Black/brown hair!
God Bless Scotch/Irish Vikings!

Now, while I am fairly certain I could pull that off (it helps to have a love of the cold), I'd prefer not to test that. However, you sir/madam, have my respect.

Hmm..I've not done any stupid bets/dares, as my friends tend to know that I'm largely without morals, and so will do just about anything.

Hmm no bets but people i know have left a Candy cane on a window for 3 months waiting to see how long it would take ants to devour it!

I almost bet on Greece to win Euro 2004 but was to lazy to go to the TAB
+Sharapova to win Wimbeldon
I would have been 10000 Dollars richer!sigh my lazyness.

My god. One of my housemates just told me we all made a bet last night. I can't shave for 3 weeks!

What's the most stupid bet you ever accepted? Did you win?

I hope you don't look like Chewbacca at end of it. :eek:
Reminds, I need to shave soon. The more you shave, the faster is grows back ...

dont worry lp, ladies dig the grizzly adams look.

One All Blacks/Aussie rugby game, I told my flatmate that the ABs would win. He thought the Aussies would. After several more drinks, we came to a bet:
Loser would run over the farms to the beach.
This was about 25km away.
All Blacks won, so at 8pm, after several more beers, he started off. At 11pm I drove to the beach to pick him up. He was totally exhausted and covered in mud and cuts. He had tried to take a short cut and ended up in a swamp.

































I didn't have the heart to tell him that the game was delayed-coverage and I'd already been told the score.




Other silly bets:
One year when haymaking on farms, we were staying in the Shearer's Quarters at Te Paki, which is 17km from the top of New Zealand. It's 100km to the nearest town and on a dirt road to boot. Suffice to say, when it was raining, there wasn't much to do in way of entertainment. Except watch this god-awful german porn movie I'd bought (It had a fat naked man tied up and a real ugly woman twisting his nipples. I bought it to annoy the others who told me to get a porno when it was my turn to go to Kaitaia to do the shopping), get stoned, get drunk and think of stupid bets.
The best was running naked to the road sign and back, which was about 200m down the road.
This usually meant running past several tour buses on their way up to Cape Reinga. Some even stopped so the tourists could take photos.


Another time, as a bet we also did a truckload of hay naked. That was difficult, let me tell you.

Haha! You're going to hell, you know that? :p

my dad once lost a bet and had to bleach his hair, it looked so bad, we were on holiday and he kept getting funny looks off the locals and another time he lost a bet and had to dye it red

You can't remember the bet? Where you drunk?
I once bet that I wouldn't be sarcastic for one day...I lost.

Bah. All the bets I've taken part in pail into insignificance compared to some of these. All of mine are along the lines of 'I bet you can't drink x pints (usually about 10) in the next 20 minutes' or 'I bet you won't roll naked in the snow'. That sort of thing.

Should have bet on having the hair "down there" waxed off. Lots of guys (usually gay though), are having it done. Now THAT's a BET! :D

Ouch. Although the stubble down there isn't very nice either :(
But probably nothing compare to waxing....

still ouch

Yes.

Meh, I'm not old enough for it to look right. Last week, I went without shaving for three days, and it was almost as thick as your sixth-day mustache. Not quite, but it was close.
