Guys, hows it hanging?
So it's like 5:44AM here in Bonny Scotland, and I've finally just completed one of the worst / dumbest props i've ever placed. It started at about 8PM last night after telling a friend I was down 5 buy-ins today (yesterday?). Anyway, one thing (as usual) leads to another and I accept the Ted Forrest prop that i'll chase my losses and play until I get even for the session. So, 9 bottles of Red Bull later and I've finally won my £150 ($300) prop bet, and I'm feeling like shit, I've relised what a waste of time that was considering I have to leave my house in just over 3 hours.
So guys....whats your worst prop?
PS. I know this is a common topic, but I'm buzzed from the Red Bull, and I needed to post on all the forums I frequent.
World Peace Yo.

We were sitting around the pool one day drinking and my friend bet me 13$ i couldn't eat a dead spider that we found in the pool. So i proved everyone wrong and ate it.
Few days later i got a bad sore throat....could have been from the spider...
I then had to call in sick because of my extremely bad sore throat and i took down the 3$ rebuy for $6,000.
THANK YOU MR. SPIDER.

im still not sold that many of these people that get these big online scores are winners when it comes to the live game, which, by the way, is real poker.

Better to just pick random pages and read for 2-3 pages.
Then jump forward 100 pages and see how many people reference thigs you just read about.

I did that before, but you had to take a punch to the face. Younger and stupider, macho contest. I won the first one and lost the next 2, that was the end of that. 3 punches in the face just didn't seem as fun.

Just saw a bet on there which was get banned from 2 poker forums in a week. That would be incredibly easy.
3 reasons why you can accept all in withouth see the floop:
1. if i am 200% convinced that i am a lucky guy and i will win
2. if i have the cards in hand that i wish(diferent cases: AA; AK; ... etc)
3. if i have a so called PokerRNG program that can copy the original RNG

i know this is not a prob bet, but this thread seems right for it anyways:
me and my friends used top play a super-simple but funny gambling game which i think we invented.
It's like this:
At the beginning of the round, one of you (randomly chosen) chooses the side of the flip that he/she wants. You also choose the stakes that you want to flip for (we did it for 3€-10€ at a time) the 2 coins are then flipped by the side-chooserand the round continues as follows:
If both flipped coins show the sides that belongs to the "chooser of sides" that round, he wins 1 point, gets to choose the sides again and may flip the coins again.
If both flipped coins show the sides which belong to the other player, the otherp layer gets to choose next round, but the initial chooser flips the coins next round. Of course the winning player gets 1 point, too.
If the 2 coins land on different sides, it's a tie. The other player gets to choose the side next round and the coins are flipped by the other player as well.
The game is then played in "sets", which consist of a number of rounds that you choose. we usually did best-of-5 (meaning the first to win 3, wins the money at stake).
When you are to flip coins, it is allowed to try to make them flip on your side, however, there are limitations to this. We usually said that the coins have to at least flip several times before reaching ground to make it a valid flip.
I guess i broke even in the long run.

I've won upwards of $350 on a single coin flip.
Also, my friend and I were discussing a hand on Poker After Dark the other day. and as I'm explaining a hand to him, he disagreed with what I remembered somebody having as their whole cards in a certain hand. I knew it was AK suited, and he was sure it was off suit. I was completely sure cause I had just watched the show like two hours earlier online, yet he wanted to bet me $50 and I accepted. 5 minutes later, he had to pay me my $50 after we went online to rewatch the episode.
