Hedge fund manager and poker player Bill Perkins is well-known in the poker community as a lover of extreme prop bets, and one of his lucrative schemes this time (which could be one of his best wagers yet) is the one he made with brothers Jaime and Matthew Staples on March 26, 2017 at 5pm.

Oh boy. They could make the 'little' brother gain weight as well and if both of them end up around 140 kgs then boom, challenge is won by them. Eating pizza, chips and ice cream for a whole year will do that to ya just fine.

Another weird bet there. When people have money to spent.... Wont be easy to make. Probably the easiest way will be for the one to lose weight, than for the other to gain. It is the most healthy choice also for both of them. Not that the "skinny" one needs to gin weight.

This man of 140 kg will have a lot to pull to lose weight. Will have to maintain a proper regimen so as not to get sick. It will be very difficult because water can also make a man fat. Even if he loses this bet it will be better for him. It is good to be weak, not fat.

Who's that blonde chick standing behind Jamie in the picture? Wow! She is so hot! Is she a licensed nutritionist? Maybe not. Well, I guess both Jamie and Matt are going to need an experienced nutritionist or dietician. Let's wish them both good luck.

Yeah, no. Water cannot make you fat. When your body withholds water or your joints are swelling at an abnormal rate than yeah, water can make you look bloated, but water cannot make you fat.

I did not mean that water was fat. I was referring to the fact that when you drink more water the body does not lose its weight so easily. You have to drink the normal water, not much and the regime to be with many fruits and vegetables, a little flesh, fish, or cheese.
