Ever thought of becoming a vegetarian? If no, what if you got $1 million dollars and only had to stick to it for one year? Now it start sounding interesting ha? Well, if you're a good friend of Tom "durrrr" Dwan and have a lot of money, then you might get a crazy prop bet like this one!

In the latest episode of High Stakes Poker, Tom Dwan offered his High Stakes buddy Phil Ivey $1 million dollars if he stops eating meat and fish for a whole year. At first, Phil Ivey wanted $2 million dollars for doing it, but since he had thought about becoming a vegetarian for some time, he decided to accept the challenge.

"I will do it for $1 million dollars. I have thought about becoming a vegetarian for a while now, so this prop bet will make it extra interesting and challenging." said Phil Ivey in an interview with the host of High Stakes Poker, Kara Scott.

I wont do that. Man needs 3 kind of meal: meat, meat, meat. Okay, sometimes chicken...

lol nice challenge
 jessthehuman10/03/2010 23:52:33 GMT
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.

nice bet lol Big Smile Could be one very expensive meal, if he fails. Tom should be very sure that Phil is really addicted to meet, to make this kinda prop bet Big Smile

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?
