Tony G is not known as an athlete, but he is not known as a politician either, but that doesn't stop Tony done plenty of sporting prop bets. David Saab bet him $7,500 that he could not beat former basketball pro Nick Lackovic in a 200 metre race, with Lackovic getting a 50 metre head start. Tony was, at the time, quite portly and Lackovic was obviously tall and in great shape, so understandably there was a stipulation. Lackovic had to run backwards the entire way. Not only did Lackovic beat Tony, he probably could have done so without the 50 metre head start. In true gambler style, rather than feel embarrassment about his performance he felt the most frustration at the odds, saying afterwards “Maybe next time I should get better odds than evens”.

One of the craziest and definitely one of the weirdest I have heard about was a guy called Brian Zembic who was a notorius gambler took on a bet that he would have breast implants and keep the fakes for a year,he won the bet and the $100,000 wagered but weirder than that is that he decided to keep the implants.
