Bill Perkins made another crazy prop bet with Jaimie Staples and his brother

Hedge fund manager, a passionate poker player and a very very rich guy, Bill “GASTRADER” Perkins, just made recently another very interesting prop bet with Jamie Staples and his brother, Matthew Staples.

The two brothers are known in the poker world mostly for their poker streams on Twitch.tv, and they have been spending the last week or so with Bill Perkins on his yacht while streaming their poker game.

Perkins decided to make a prop-bet with them at this point: it is a weight loss/gain bet, where the two brothers could win up to $150,000 and risk only $3,000 to lose.

Many fellow poker pros have already commented the bet and Doug Polk who thinks the two brothers might be actually underdogs in this one:
Doug Polk: “How much do you weigh right now?”
JS: “I dunno, but something about 150 kilos”
DP: “I’m just saying it’s not gonna be easy to lose 50k nor to gain over 30. May be more difficult than you both think”

Feel like this is an easy win for Perkins. Even if Jaime works his ass off, how hard must it be to get within 1 lb of his brother.

jaime seems like the ret of poker

He's gonna need surgery to do this. Lap band and lipo

Bill Perkins is being nice and giving him a reason to change his life!!

Even if he loses 3K but gets moving, it will be worth it!

yeah, bill prob just doing this as an incentive for jaime to be healthier, being this fat at his age is a disaster

Jaime has to lose while his brother starts gaining. Going to be harder for his brother to gain as he is prob 120 lbs soaking wet. Jaime will lose a lot at the beginning. They both need to get professional trainers/dietitians to have a good shot.

need name of girl

I thought Jaime is a girls name wtf

there certainly something pathetic in here but I dont think it is what you think it is

easy to gain 30kg if you take olanzapine everyday. use to take it for sleeping....ASYMPTOTIC weight gain.

that would of course be against the spirit of the bet

that may be true I wouldn't know

I just meant the manner jolly fat guy

One guy can move up and the other can move down?

This is an easy bet if you actually try to do it.

not that easy when you're addicted to garbage food like jaime

After having gone through major weight losses (the most I lost in a single streak was 60kg in 3 months when I was 14. How much I hated to be fat...) I think this is reasonable. You don't even need willpower. Once you subconsciously decide you quit doing something you just quit. I think jamie&bro are gonna do it

this is definitelly some kind of charity by Bill, there is no way he is looking to make a buck (3k lol), he is giving motivation to Jamie to lose weight, pretty admirable of Bill tbh

Bill said he thinks Jamie will gain $1.5-3million worth of life equity, and since he is so fat + also a good talker, maybe gain $4million. He basically said he is doing it to motivate him and expects him lose weight but still lose the bet.

this isn't easy but getting 50:1 is obviously a good deal. And even if jaime fails to gain as much or matthew doesn't lose the final 10-15 pounds then it's still 3k well spent, for the both of them.
