    About 15 years ago, a friend bet me $500 I cound not run a five-minute mile. After a few beers, I said OK. We met at a school track the next morning and put our money at the finish line. I lost with a time of 5:16.

    How about you? Any good stories?

    Years ago when i was living with my uncle, i bet him that his car was rear wheel drive... He swore it was front wheel drive... i put my paycheck on the line... it was a very humbling experience.

    I bet my buddy that he couldn't get this girls number. If he did get the number I would have to shave my eye brows off. If he lost he would to shave half of his head ( right down the middle ). Well he lost, the girl rejected him so fast it was sad. He refused to shave his head instead he gave my 20 bucks. Anyway that night I slept at his house and while I was sleeping he started to shave off one of my eye brows. I woke up and chased him outside then locked all the doors in his house leaving him outside for the night in November.

    It by no means is "the worst bet I ever lost" but one night a bunch of my buddies were at our friend ryans house and we had ordered some hot wings. Well after all the wings were done, there was a bunch of the remaining sauce. The greasy, spicy, salty sauce. I bet my friend $10 he wouldnt drink it. Without hesitation he pours it into a glass ( a pretty big glass too, no shot glass) and gulps the whole things with out even making a face. If I remember, it was about 4-5 "gulps" of the hot sauce. I paid him his $10, but he said it probably wasnt worth it, he puked the first night and had the sh*ts for about 4 days after!

    I fell for the ol' 'gallon of milk in an hour' trick...I drank milk all my life so I thought I can do this....got 3/4 the way down and threw it back up....lost 50 bucks on it....Made about $300 between the other ten times...Maybe its the best bet I ever lost.

    How is that done?! I've always wondered, especially when they're outside in the open.

    I can do it out in the open even with the sun out, but only if people are standing to my right or left. The way Chris Angel and David Blaine does it is a mystery, not even pros know the secret. About me telling you, I shouldn't tell you.

    Criss Angel's levitation is something else.. even if you assume that some camera tricks are employed it's still pretty hard to figure out.

    What you see on his Mind Freak t.v. show is what you see in person, either at some stage or in the streets.

    I bet myself I could turn a restaurant around. A couple hundred thousand dollars and two years with no days off later I admitted I had lost and threw in the towel.
