Do you like it enough to offer 2 to 1 for someone to take 150 or more?Quote: WatchMeWinThanks.... I like the under.
Quote: AyecarumbaDo you like it enough to offer 2 to 1 for someone to take 150 or more?
No thanks... i dont like it enough to put any money behind it since Ive never met Tom, nor is this something I have any experience in other than watching a couple of youtube videos... and I wont be there to enjoy the thrill of the bet, if I did. But thanks for the offer. gl
Quote: WizardofnothingBoz I'll take the whole thing I'm sure mission or others will vouch -
Perfect, no concerns on validity. Wager accepted. $200 risked on your side to win $320. Best wishes.
What is the maximum you think you can eat?Quote: TomG

A real steal when you consider the 4 piece is normally priced $1.00-$1.19
Each bet is listed as over bettor / under bettor, with the number in parentheses. For example, TomG puts up $100 on Over 149.5 against Wizard's $160 on Under 149.5.

150?! is there a time limit?
food eating champion ate 120 in 12.5 minutes:
https://recordsetter.com/world-record/eat-120-chicken-mcnuggets/28977
In perspective, according to FoodChallenges.com, the Du-Par's Pancake challenge involved about 3.5 lbs. of food. To eat 150 McNuggets would involve 51% more food by weight.
Edit: The pancakes are the equivalent of ~99 McNuggets by weight.
Quote: 100xOdds150?! is there a time limit?
One hour, as I recall.
I just saw this post that I must have missed previously. Max, was this in regards to my asking for the 8-5 on the OVER 150, with 150 exactly being a push? If so I'll book some action with you. What number do you want to book?Quote: MaxPenOk....I will book that with 150 considered a push.
I'd be interested in taking over action if anyone is interested in making a bet on an under with me. I'd take action on:
1) Over 99.5 - I'd be willing to give 2-1 odds. Example: You bet me $100. If less than 99.5 nuggets, you win $200. If more than 99.5 nuggets you lose $100.
2) Over 124.5 - I'd be willing to give 3-2 odds. Example: You bet me $100. If less than 124.5 nuggets, you win $150. If more than 124.5 nuggets, you lose $100.
3) Over 149.5 - I'd be expecting (but negotiating) 8-5 odds for me (since the Wiz already offered those). Example: You bet me $100. If less than 149.5 nuggets you win $100. If greater than 149.5 nuggets you lose $160.
I'll only accept bets with known members in good standing and I must reply to any offer confirming booking the action. Pending the right deal I could book anywhere from $20-$1k in action. If anyone else has any other creative offers around the 100, 125, 150, or more range, I'd like to hear them as well =).
Quote: MrVJust wondering, Wiz: I assume you are buying the McNuggets, and need not be reimbursed, win or lose?
Yes, that assumption is correct.
Quote: GWAESons birthday is today. He wanted to go to Mcd for lunch. Since i am on a diet and doing weight watchers I was trying to figure out what to eat. I ended up getting a 6 piece nugget and small fry. The nuggets are 1 point each. I get 40 points a day so 150 nuggets would be 4 days worth of my food intake.
Wow, sounds like my kind of diet. If I could eat 10 McNuggets and a small fry per day I would not need to eat anything else. That is more food than I typically eat in a day.
Quote: DRichWow, sounds like my kind of diet. If I could eat 10 McNuggets and a small fry per day I would not need to eat anything else. That is more food than I typically eat in a day.
Really?
Ten pieces of McNuggets has 470 calories, and their small fries has 230 calories, for a total of 700 calories.
What, only consume 700 calories per day?
A surprising claim, given that the recommended daily requirement is around 2000.

I don't count calories but that would be more than enough food for me on a typical day. I may also consume a few cocktails.

Egad.
see: http://www.livestrong.com/article/317540-how-many-calories-a-day-is-considered-starving/
"Calories When Starving. The lowest recommended caloric intake for women and men is 1,200 and 1,500 calories, respectively. According to the National Institutes of Health's Medline Plus, a diet of 500 to 800 calories a day is dangerously too low and should not be done unless its a medically supervised diet."

What would you want for taking the over on 155 nuggets?
Quote: MrVCalories When Starving
the link also has "calories you need to maintain your current weight", sort of interesting
Quote:To calculate how many calories you need to maintain your current weight, first determine your resting energy expenditure. An easy formula for calculating this is to multiply your current weight in pounds by 10 if you're female and 11 if you're male. For example, if you're a woman who weighs 130 pounds, your resting energy expenditure is 1,300 calories based on this formula. If you're a male weighing 185 pounds, your expenditure is 2,035 calories. This is an estimation of how much energy your body needs at rest.
Quote: AxelWolfWhat is the maximum you think you can eat?
When I first heard from Mike, I was good for no more than 125. Been practicing for two weeks and improving only marginally, but I know if I keep trying can get a lot better in two months. Buffet or a big meal at home every day. Except it's been so heavy on fruit, veggies, oatmeal, sugar free cheesecake, et cetera, that there have been some intestinal side effects that lady friend is complaining about. May not be worth it to keep pushing myself like this. Have to stop at Target for a Gas-X and Beano stack.
As someone else said, 150 McNuggets is close to six pounds. I can do over six pounds at the buffet already -- and should get even more comfortable with that amount as the weeks go by. But then the whole question is: how does six pounds of salad, soup, and ice tea compare to six pounds of meat, breading, fat, grease, and salt? I contend there isn't a huge difference. Others insist they are worlds apart.
I'm willing to give anyone the best odds you can find on an under and number, 133, 167, 175, 200, 225, 250. Action points would be great.

I am willing to give you 2.5 -1 for under 174.5. If you make 175 you win. My $250 against your $100.
I am willing to give you 3.5 - 1 for under 199.5. If you make 200 you win. My $350 against your $100.

What impact has this massive consumption of food had on your weight / waist size?
Trenchermen that don't get fat must have "a high metabolism," or perhaps they quietly puke after every massive meal?
150 x 85 = 12750mg
holy salt overload Batman! that's 5x of the daily recommend value.
better take your high blood pressure meds b4 starting the challenge.

That would definitely cause me to stroke out. My normal blood pressure is around 183/131 and that is when I am taking my BP pills.
Give me 9-5 instead of the previously wiz suggested 8-5 (at 150) and I'll book the OVER on 154.5 nuggets.Quote: MaxPenWhat would you want for taking the over on 155 nuggets?
I am not participating in this wager, other than as a spectator, because it is just not my kind of thing. However, if I were to get into it, I think that before I took the over, I would want to see TomG having money on the over on at least as high a number. Incentives and all that.Quote: Romes... and I'll book the OVER on 154.5 nuggets.
"I am willing to give you 3.5 - 1 for under 199.5. If you make 200 you win. My $350 against your $100." I think I would do the same bet. I think he can get to 155.Quote: SOOPOOI am willing to give you 2.5 -1 for under 174.5. If you make 175 you win. My $250 against your $100.

I was fairly sure Poker grinder could do 100 and bet the yes.
I was fairly confident the the others could not so I bet the NO.
I always had this feeling about TomG and I dont think I would want to bet against him on just about anything.

Lost about six to eight pounds in the past two weeks of practicing. Tough to gain weight on one meal per day that's mostly just water (fruit, veggies, yogurt, et cetera). The time involved (preparing everything, eating for 30 to 60 minutes, then cleaning up) has replaced my previous exercise time, which has further decreased the amount of Calories I'm eating. Buffet this weekend will involve a pizza, fried catfish, ice cream, and lots of whatever version of miniature fried chicken they offer. Hopefully that will reverse the weight loss, and from now on I'll only be practicing every other day to avoid it happening any more

I'll take the over on 174.5, laying $100 to win $250.
Need better odds than that for 200. I know it's possible, but the chances of doubling the current record has to be quite a bit lower than 20%. At a certain point the difficulty between each milestone is definitely not linear

Bet is made. I am saving up the $250 as we speak. As with most of my WoV bets, I am rooting for you to beat me. (your last name isn't Chestnut, is it?)

Wunderbar! I'm glad to see you motivated to get past 150. I'll offer you 4 to 1 on over 199.5 -- rounding down. Of course, it's a free market, so maybe SOOPOO will beat that offer.

Quote: WizardI'll make to 5 to 1.
My son, an expert on these matters, analyzed the pancake eating, and would not be surprised if he makes the 175. I did not ask him about 200.
Mike, since there are going to be many 'price points', please define a success. If the combatant throws up while eating nugget 176, with nuggets 173-175 still in his mouth, what is his official total? If I recall in past competitions the combatant had to keep the nuggets in for some defined period of time, I think 10 minutes?

Its the same rules as when he did it, only no running or crosswords. Yes, he has to keep them down for 10 minutes since the last Nugget. Good question. I think according to the rules we would have to go by where he was at 10 minutes before throwing up. I'm open to other suggestions, but I think we should note the time of major milestones. He won't get credit for passing them until 10 minutes later without vomiting.
Quote: WizardI'll make to 5 to 1.Quote: DRichSorry Wizard, I will offer him 4.5 to 1 on over 199.5.
I will pay $85 in exchange for $15 for every nugget over 175 (200 max). Would make the bet:
-175 or under you win $85
-176 to 180 you win between $10 and $70
-181 to 200 I win between $5 and $290
That would make 200 be a $1000 profit. With a month still to go to get even more down
-----
Had been practicing every day. Then this week had some bad intestinal and stomach side effects, so probably going to cut back until every third day until the challenge date. Have a formula that gives me an achievable number based on what how many plates at the buffet. Today put me over 150 -- and that's using a conservative estimate while also finishing the meal in relatively comfortable shape
If her money. Back

That's a fair offer but I'm going to decline. My gut *ahem* is telling me you're going to impress everybody.
