On the show jason mercier says to ivey "couldnt u just order steaks to ur motel room" to which ivey replies: "why would i do that? Its the same as stealing - i don't steal" So the honor system is obv good enough for both these guys.

honour system my ass. Stupid bet and if ivey likes he's meat I'll be he'll cheat. There's a certain thing in the human condition known as reason and unless he's some dumbshit religious freak (unlikely since he's a poker pro) he's gonna cheat when he's somewhere with no one watching and reason and logic kick in.
btw, I'm vegan anyway and find it hard to fathom some of you who say you wouldn't do this.. ? $1M for one year of not being an indulgent prick? com'on.

Posted by Airas: I would become a vegetarian for a half of a million, but this is for a normal person with no money at all. But for a millionaire like Ivey I succest that he would ask like a 10 million.
I do a vegetarian for 10 k, and I quit for another 5k. I get paid once everything returns to normal life ...

Are they sooooo bored of poker and sports betting that they have to agree on these stupid bets? Why don't they bet on the name of their firstborns or something?

That's just the sickest thing I've ever heard. Why would anyone give him 1KK$ just to be vegetarian... and who is gonna control that? Is he going to be under a 24/7 surveillance?
