While the vast majority of casino patrons are completely satisfied grinding away at the blackjack tables, a specific breed of gambler craves something much more extreme.
A proposition bet is an unofficial wager made strictly between two individuals, completely bypassing the casino, often involving highly bizarre or physically gruelling challenges.
Living in Total Darkness for Cash
In 2018, Alati bet a fellow gambler $100,000 that he could survive for 30 consecutive days locked inside a pitch-black, completely isolated bathroom.
Alati was placed in the dark bathroom with only a bed, a bathtub, and regular deliveries of completely unseasoned, random food.

Gambling with Physical Health
In 2010, they incredibly bet Forrest $2 million that he could not drop from 225 pounds down to exactly 138 pounds within a few short months.
Conversely, brothers once bet each other massive sums that one could not eat $1,000 worth of McDonald's food in a single, agonizing 24-hour period.

Furthermore, the bet stipulated that Zembic had to maintain the implants for one full, complete year to collect the massive payout.
In a bizarre twist, he earned a massive $10,000 annual residual payout from the original bettor for every additional year he kept the implants.
