The final week of March 2018 marks the first year since hedge fund manager and poker player Bill Perkins challenged the Staples brothers Jaime and Matt to a prop bet - that both brothers need to get within 1 pound bodyweight of each other in one year in order to win $150,000.

well this is actually more than just money, though not saying that to win 150.000 of dollaros is a bad thing, but to also get within normal weight is a lot better for your body so if he wins its a win-win for the wallet and his body.

Wow, Jaime Staples looks a lot better after he shed 100 pounds! I didn't expect he would manage to lose more than 50 pounds. Well done, Jamie! He must have been eating healthfully and exercising regularly.

Fair play to these two guys, they are really making a good fist of winning this bet. Bill Perkins definitely has too much money and i would love to make a few bets with this guy

It looks like they are gonna win the money.It wasnt an easy task, for both of them. Besides the money, he must be feeling better now, with less health risks. That was probably one of the best bets, that we have read so far.

Is a risky bet for both. A fatter man if he has the ambition, he can do that and Bill Perkins lose the bet. On the other side if a brother does not have that ambition to lose weight will lose 1500 dollars and his brother same. Anyway it's a pretty interesting bet.

I think the hard part of this task, or bet of you like, was for the thin brother to gain weight. It is not easy at some point, and i believe it is much harder than losing weight. To lose you just dont have to eat, but in order to gain you need to stuff yourself all the time

it's easy to get fat if you eat fatty products. If she was eating a bunch of sour cream, shaorma, fast food, potatoes or fried meat and much ice cream will be fattened. I have not read everything here but I'm curious what will happen with this bet and who will win.

very cool and human this bet of the bill because he did not aim the money but the well being of the friend if it was not in the time now I'm sure it will be for the rest of the life of the brother because it is not anyone who helps someone like that to those involved and mainly to BILLPERKINS
