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.

Incredibly, after 20 grueling days in absolute darkness, the opposing bettor realized Alati was not breaking and negotiated an early buyout, paying Alati $62,400 to end the terrifying bet.

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.

Shockingly, Forrest hit the exact target weight on the final day, looking completely emaciated but winning the massive $2 million prize.
The Most Bizarre Bet in History
Furthermore, the bet stipulated that Zembic had to maintain the implants for one full, complete year to collect the massive payout.

Zembic, utterly fearless and lacking any shame, immediately found a cosmetic surgeon who agreed to perform the bizarre operation.
