I know so many guys who sit on those sports betting websites just trying to rake in the big bucks for strategic picks based on teams that don't even exist. I understand that sometimes the bets are legitimately for actual games -- but the DRIVE that men have to always win and be the best. So, whether they're throwing a bone on the Birds or pounding the Lakers tonight -- it's all about an overarching drive to have the team they bet on succeed.
Well, let's take that one step further -- Bet Dieting!! It's the newest rage, really. There are a few websites that enable it, namely: Stickk.com, which also allows for you to gamble against ANY goal. Want to quit smoking? GAMBLE IT! Want to make sure you never drink the night before work ever again? GAMBLE IT! Want to run that marathon you've always thought about? GAMBLE IT!
Essentially, the site believes that people are more motivated to achieve their goals if they feel they have something to lose. With that, Stickk allows you to bet against a specific goal, and if you don't meet that goal, you'll lose the money you bet. The great part about this is that you can choose to have your money go to a specific charity - you know, if you happen to lose.
So go check it out by yourself, with a friend - or with a large group of people! Enjoy!
This is actually not a bad idea!
