I think the dumbest thing I've ever bet on was throwing pretzel nuggets at the blinds over my apartment windows... whoever was first to get the nugget to stick between the slits in the blinds won $20... this went on for at least an hour or so.
I used to always have an open blackjack table for my roommates (who would do things like standing on 9). One day I won $50 from a roommate who devided to play a few hands on his way out the door to go to class, but all he had was a $100 bill. Our apartment complex was surrounded by Ivy so I said put the $100 in a plastic bag and hide it somewhere in the Ivy... if I find it before you get back I get $100, if not you get it back. So I watched from my window while he hid the money, went down and scooped it up . Knowing the type of person that he is I told him my tactics when he got back and he agreed that he should have thought of that and hid it on the other side of the building. I should mention that his dad was a multi-millionaire, so he had plenty of money to throw around.
What about you?

I was hanging out watching a game at a friends house when I spotted his kid's Shoots and Ladders game. We decided a hundred bucks was the price and it was on. We played for like half an hour each seemingly landing on every slide possible. I lost. I paid. And I'd do it again.

1) in undergrad there was a porcelain sink with a porcelain backing attached to the wall.
we were ping pong fanatics as well.......so......
1st person to launch the ping pong ball into the sink without it popping out...$10 per winner...was harder than hell like a fukin circus game.
2) we put a string in the hamster cage, he would always grab on to it.....but slip off......1st person to pull him out....$20 per winner...
I missed that one the first time I read it...
That sounds like a pretty exciting bet. How about this one: Catch a big bee and put it in a spider web and bet on results... spider wins, bee wins, or both die.
I wonder if a bee would be able to sting the spider? Would a spider want to eat a bee?
I like my odds on both dying - now I just need to find someone who wants to gamble

They have a run the bases thing for the kids at Citizens Bank Park. Four spots, and they run in place as the mechanical display circles the bases. It's much more fun to look down at this from the 200 level and yell at the little bastards to run faster.
$5, pick your kid.

*Which zamboni would leave the ice first a MN Wild game
*We also did a "pass the cup" gig at a Twins/Cubs game at Wrigley. Everyone antes $5 and you guess what the batter is going to do (K, Walk, Ground out, Fly out, single, double, triple, or HR). Person who has the cup when they get one right scoops the pot. You re-ante if it makes it all the way around back to the first guy. It's a bit primitive, but seemed like a great idea after about 8 beers.

-Whether the next play was pass or run at the Florida Orange/Blue Spring game
-A friend of mine and I had a $100 a game bowling bet. . . the kicker was that neither of us had bowled in years prior, or knew how good either of us were before we started. . . strictly an action bet to make things more interesting. I won both
-Same friend and I bet each other $20 on whether or not Chris Hetland was going to make the FG he lined up for in the 2006 FL/GA game. . . he missed, and I lost
-Same friend and I again went to this toughman contest where anyone could participate. We'd bet $2 a fighter, and we'd alternate picking the fighter, and the one that didn't get picked, the other one had.

This guy i work with coaches his son's 10 year old basketball team. They made it to the finals by beating every other team by about 15. I asked him about his opponent in the finals and what the deal was. He said that they were by far the second best team in the league, but they should still win by 10. So i said, I'll take the other team +10, you have your son's team -10 for $10. then we went .
Next morning, he comes back and said he got up by 15 in the fourth quarter and instituted the four corners! bastard.
I've gambled on a lot of stupid things like:
Skeeball games for $5
will the next hit be to the left of second base or the right of second base at live baseball games? $5
the next player to hit the deck at a live basketball game will be from what team? $5
I've played numerous $10, $20, and even $100 beer pong games.
But by far the dumbest thing i've ever bet on is online craps.

I lost $80 in New Orleans at Mardi Gras yrs ago when I accepted a challenge from a guy that I couldn't throw a pair of Mardi Gras beads on top of a 3 story building on the other side of the street. We bet $20 a throw and I gave up after the 4th throw. I got real close on several throws but never quite made it.
The guy saw me coming from a mile away. Lesson learned, If a guy you don't know wants to make an oddball bet like this with you, walk away because you're probably getting the worst of it.
