share some interesting stories here.
This surely isn't my best one, but I remember taking a 20 dollar wager when I was in highschool that I couldn't drink 3 litres of chocolate milk in 5 minutes.
I puked at the 3 minute mark, .75 litres shy.

53 bucks (The price of a half barrel at the time) that I couldn't drink a 54 oz (1.6 liters/litres) pitcher of beer in under a minute. I finished in 12 seconds.

Long story short, the bag broke, the plane landed in Dallas so I could get taken to the hospital, I was arrested, broke out, saw a Cowboys game, and hitchhiked my way across the country. Now I'm addicted to crack and I owe the South America guy five bucks.

The two bets I've seen tried numerous times, and never completed are drinking a gallon of milk in 30 minutes and eating a tablespoon of cinnamon without drinking anything.
The milk thing doesn't work because everyone is lactose tolerant to a certain extent, and sooner or later your body rejects the milk. This results in lots of vomiting.
The cinnamon dare doesn't work because eating it like that is like drying to eat sand. It coats the inside of your throat, and is impossible to get down without so sort of liquid.
Both are funny to try on the stupid, drunk macho guy. It's better if you make some money off of it, but the entertainment value alone is worth it.

A good friend of mine had a couple of good wagers
one a 50 dollar bet that i couldn't kick a 45 yard feild goal....out of ten tries... Squeeked a line drive through.
another 20 dollar two guys were side by side trying to start to weed eaters i said 20 bucks the one on the right starts first he said deal and the ****ing guy on the left got his going first
and finally
Same friend got a new bike with shocks on the front and was bragging about how nice it was and how he could ride up stairs with it.
So of course we when and found a moderatly steep set of stairs outside a building at college. he got three trys and on the third try he blew his back tire and hit his head on a step and got 8 stiches..... Best part was the bet was for 5 bucks.... and it cost him about 350 bucks between the new tire and hospital costs.

One time back in high school we had a kid who wore a gold chain around his neck every day. One fine afternoon during lunch, he showed us that he could snort the chain through his nose and have it come out his mouth. We were impressed, but we wanted a SHOW.
So, we each got together and put down 20 bucks each to have him swallow the chain and bring it back the next day. He accepted the agreement and promptly swallowed the chain in front of us all.
Lo and behold two days later, as he walked into class he threw the gold chain to a friend of mine who upon catching it, realized what it was and immediately gagged (the not quite throw up thing, you know? The whole mouth full of spit) all over our teacher's desk.
The guy won his $100 fair and square.

I've got like a million of these.
I won a "famine" bet with a friend of mine. No food. No calories. Only water, diet pot, etc. No drugs, either (except caffeine).
The bet was for 5 dollars an hour.
I ended up making it 6 days to his 5. I won exactly 120 bucks.
In highschool I bet my physics teacher that I could stop a stopwatch on the same number 4/10 times. We bet on 25 extra credit points (about 7%), and the ability to award them to anyone I chose. I did it, and ended up auctioning off the extra credit points to a kid with a 4.0 that was getting an A-, for about 500 bucks.
I wore nothing but sandals (except when competing in athletic contests) for a full year. I won 100 dollars, and almost lost a toe to frostbite.
I drank a gallon of beer in an hour for 20 bucks(easy).
We had a "largest testicles" contest my sophomore year of college that I won. 20 dollar entry fee, 6 entries, winner take all. I hadn't beat off in a week.
My freshman year I had challenged all comers in my hallway to a "jeopardy" contest. 20 bucks a pop, take all comers. Most correct answers wins. Daily doubles worth 2, final jeopardy worth 4. My final record was 14-4, for a gross profit of 200 dollars.
I did the cinnamon thing, and won. I trained for it. I did the saltine cracker bet, too.
I went to East Lansing (Michigan State) and took a bet that I couldn't walk around the party for a full hour with my testicles out and not get asked to leave. I got to 3/4 of an hour, then bumped into a dude and got my ass kicked.
I challenged a friend that I could make 8/10 freethrows under any condition, at any time, as long as the court was dry, the ball was pumped right, etc. He'd give me 20 bucks/freethrow over seven, I'd give him 30/freethrow under eight.
He's challenged me 8 times (once in the midst of a hardcore blackout), and I've never lost.
I won 200 bucks (+ beer costs) when I boasted that I could drink 10 beers a day or more for 6weels, and keep a 40/hr. a week job doing insulation. It was really easy, because I conviinced everyone to have a few beers every day at the job sites.
I won 20 bucks, at age 19, on a dare. I approached a police officer after having half a case, and said, "Sir, I've been drinking heavily. I'm sure you can smell it on me." I got an MIP, which cost me about 100 dollars all together.
I won 100 bucks when I was drunk when I boasted that I knew more active-roster NFL players that played college ball in the BIG 10 than the rest of the room.
I have more, and about a million I've lost.

i once played a friend for 100 dollar a kill on Goldeneye in slappers only. I ended up losing that one 12 kills to 11. (moral victory as i was down 900 dollars at one point, 12-3)

My Cousins and I went to their apartment in Acapulco, Mexico for 1 weekend (friday, saturday, and leaving sunday). They had left their playstaition there last time they went,with the FIFA 03 game. When we got there we were planning on leaving to the club at 11pm it was 4 or 5 at the time, we decided to play $1o usd per game of FIFA, until one of us had enough to pay the $40 cover at the club. By 10 or 11pm I was up to $120...we didnt leave the apartment until sunday and only stopped the game about 5 times, to piss, poop, eat and a nap. I ended up +$30 which covered for my part of the gas.
Another time in spring break I bet my friend 30 bucks that he wouldnt punch a guy that was walking down the street with some chick. my friend ran down the stairs of the apartment building caught up to the guy and his girlfriend and beat the shit out of the dude...later, he bet me 30 bucks that I wouldnt do the same thing to the next guy that walked by (im not mean and in normal circumstances i wouldnt have but this time I was really wasted) I went down stairs to the street and when I caught up to the guy he started to run, I chased him for about a block until a cop car passed by and the dude started yelling for help, I ran back home and lost more money.
When I was 13 in mexico I bet my whole wardrobe that I could beat my friend in a series of 5 penalty kicks (he would shoot 5 and I would be goalie and then I would shoot 5). he got lucky when my last kick hit the goal post and he won. My mom almost killed me, and I think I wasnt able to go out for like a 3 or 4 months.
At a club my friend and I bet the tab that I wouldnt kiss some random girl. I walked up to one who I guess thought I was gonna tell her something and leaned in towards me, she did this very fast though, and my tooth ended up cutting her forehead open.
mine arent as good as Icemans but I was kind of a degenerate gambler in my early teens.

I have tried to drink the gallon of milk in 20 mins a few times, and will confirm that is simply not possible. However the crazyest bet I have ever been a part of was at a bar a couple of weeks ago. A friend, who is more degenerate than me which is saying something, and I were getting drunk watching the Illini game and playing one of those video game machines that a lot of bars have.
Well we found a game on there called tic-tac-trivia. We started to play it just for shits and giggles. However after a few games and a lot of trashtalking we were playing for 200 a game. At one point we had tied 3 straight, and after a tie we re-anted. So here we have 1600 sitting on the bar, and at least half the bar watching us play a trivia game. In the last game I got screwed so bad that I have nothing to compare it to. He got the easiest questions that you could imagine, and mine seemed to be all about english lit.
Obviously I lost and was seriously pissed off. On the bright side however my buddy did buy the drinks the rest of the night.

This isn't a bet I took, but a funny story. I was on a business trip in Virginia about a week back and we were in a Sports bar having some drinks when a couple of guys next to us were getting loud watching a game. I asked what was up and they said they had $100 on the game. I looked up to see Texas playing Ohio State from earlier this year on ESPN classic.

Me and Fmlycar bowl probably three or four times a year and only when we get together do we play. We suck at bowling and always end up playing for $10/pin. I always seem to get up early, then somehow he gets in my head and fleeces me.
In high school, I took the 40 days/40 nights challenge for $100 from 5 of my friends. It's extremely hard because you have to try and control your wet dreams, and you start to act really fuked up about two weeks into it. I made it 38 days, before one of my buddies laid some strategic placed porn and that was all she wrote. It did teach me one valuable lesson, it is essential to masturbate at least once a week!

1st year, living in res, my neighbor and I came up a bet every time we went out for a smoke. There was a small butt container on the wall of the entrance area where everyone smoked. I'm sure some people have seen the type, little metal box, 6 small holes just big enough to fit 2 smokes side by side into. Every time we had a smoke together, we would each throw out butts from about 10 feet away, trying to get it in one of the holes. Every time we did this, we would each add a dollar to the pot. It seemed like a small friendly bet at first, but the pot kept growing and growing. I managed to put it in 3 times when my friend wasn't there, so it didn't count. Finally, towards the end of the year, I nailed it with him present, gaining $150 in the process.
That's the main one I can remember right now, others include winning a $20 bet by convincing some American girls at the bar that my buddy played in the CFL, and winning a side bet on the century club by doing it without puking, pissing, or eating the day of, drinking an additional 6 pack after, and smoking a few Js.

At a party this guy who was known for chugging hard liquor tipped back a 66 oz bottle of whisky, and didn't stop till it was all gone. I've never seen anything like it, it took about 5 minutes, but he never even flinched, just kept chuggin. Anyways, he puked shortly after which is how I won my bet.

I won 50 bucks when I challenged a friend to have a "name the 10 most populus countries" contest. We each made a list, and whoever had the most right won. It's harder than you think with no previous knowledge.
10 minutes later I lost it back when I bet that Robert Loggia was the dad in problem child. He wasn't. I was so sure, too.
I got drunk once and boasted that I made the best grilled cheese sandwich on the planet, and nobody could best my lovingly prepared 3-egg omellette. Another drunken fellow at the party said, "I'm your Huckleberry" and we had a blindly-judged contest. I swept the grilled cheese, but the omelette was a push. He had to cook me lunch any 10 times wanted.
This is my best all time:
I was hammered at a party sophomore year, and was on fire playing beer pong. I loudly boasted that if someone gave me 10-1, I could throw a solo cup INTO ANOTHER SOLO CUP in 10 tries. For any amount of money. The party raised 400 bucks among them, and if I lost, I had to buy another keg. I hit it on the first shot, and nobody has done it, seen it done, or heard of it being done sense. I have probably tried nearly 200 times since then, and never come close.
I lost about 300 dollars when I posed a "take all comers" trivial pursuit challenge for 50 bucks apiece, but forgot that I'm not a genius and that I'll probably lose every game. I lost every game, and canceled the challenge after 6.
I'm currently in the middle of a bet that stipulates I can't wear orange, yellow, red, or green for a year. If I win I get 30 bucks. It ain't even hard.

For any amount of money. The party raised 400 bucks among them, and if I lost, I had to buy another keg. I hit it on the first shot, and nobody has done it, seen it done, or heard of it being done sense. I have probably tried nearly 200 times since then, and never come close.
I lost about 300 dollars when I posed a "take all comers" trivial pursuit challenge for 50 bucks apiece, but forgot that I'm not a genius and that I'll probably lose every game. I lost every game, and canceled the challenge after 6.
I'm currently in the middle of a bet that stipulates I can't wear orange, yellow, red, or green for a year. If I win I get 30 bucks. It ain't even hard.
Gotta run, more later
Could you explain this?
on a more general note, these stories are awesome...I wanna party with you man

I won 50 bucks when I challenged a friend to have a "name the 10 most populus countries" contest. We each made a list, and whoever had the most right won. It's harder than you think with no previous knowledge.
10 minutes later I lost it back when I bet that Robert Loggia was the dad in problem child. He wasn't. I was so sure, too.
I got drunk once and boasted that I made the best grilled cheese sandwich on the planet, and nobody could best my lovingly prepared 3-egg omellette. Another drunken fellow at the party said, "I'm your Huckleberry" and we had a blindly-judged contest. I swept the grilled cheese, but the omelette was a push. He had to cook me lunch any 10 times wanted.

Ice - Were they clean cups out of the sleeve? Or were they used in the beer pong game? Somehow I think it would be slightly easier to do it if they were used... I dont know why lol
Great stories keep them coming

I once bet a guy $50 that I could lay down in the middle of a busy road for 30 minutes and not get hurt.
So, then I got in my truck, and had another friend follow me in his car. I stopped in the middle of the road, and had my friend stop 10 feet behind me. We both put on our hazard lights. I got out of the car and go underneath my truck and just layed there. After about 20 minutes, a cop showed up. My friend pretended to be looking at the engine and I pretended to looking underneath the car at something. I didn't even know what because I know nothing about cars. The guy I made the bet with was sitting in the 2nd car watching, kinda pissed that he was going to lose the bet, but also thinking it was funny at how he lost it.
After the 30 mites was up, I rolled out from under and my friend told me to try to crank the truck. What do you know, it cranked right up...

It was 50 yards, and I vehemently defended the fact that it's possible because I was sure I could do it, and I'm only a mediocre athelete.
I found myself at a football field 3 days later, and ended up getting a ball about 48 yards, and I hadn't been off the couch in 3 years. I QBed a flag football team and did a few workouts, and then ended up tossing one 55ish.

PS- My favorite "prop bets" are a game we call "Moby Dick." Whenever my friends go to a party, we have to at least make out with a girl. If you don't, you owe everyone who did 20 bucks. If there are 8 guys, and you're the only one who doesn't... it can get expensive. It's called "Moby Dick" because there's always a desperate guy or two who's near striking out, so he has to track down the chubby girl with low self-esteem on the couch, and harpoon her.
I know that I am a terrible human being
