Poker Prop Bet Ideas
2021年11月6日Register here: http://gg.gg/wh85e
All business and no fun - this is what poker can become for some of us especially when we try to achieve the pro status or we’re just very serious about getting good at our favorite game.
Most people start playing poker because it’s a fun game and even if somewhere down the line maximizing the expected value becomes our main focus there’s no reason why poker can’t stay fun.
This bet doesn’t have any money attached to it but is still a classic moment in poker prop bet history. When Phil Hellmuth was knocked out of the 2002 World Series of Poker Main Event by amateur Robert Varkonyi, he was confident that Varkonyi had zero shot of winning and bet that if he did somehow pull off the miracle, he would shave his head. A prop bet is a bet made between poker players that is neither related to the game itself nor affects the game’s final outcome. “I made a prop bet with George that he can’t eat $1,000 worth of McDonald’s food in 24 hours.”. Sample Prop Bets. Here’re a few ideas of prop bets that you can use to gain some additional EV, motivation, and fun while playing poker: - 72o Side Bet. Oldie but a goodie. We’ve already mentioned it and there’s a good chance you’ve already participated in a similar bet even if you’re not a pro bet aficionado.
Proposition bets can help us keep poker entertaining and if we’re smart about implementing them they can also add to our bottom line.What are Proposition Bets?
Let’s start with the definition: In gambling, a ’proposition bet’ (prop bet, prop, novelty, or a side bet) is a bet made regarding the occurrence or non-occurrence during a game (usually a gambling game) of an event not directly affecting the game’s final outcome’.
A simple example from the poker world that almost everybody hears about is adding additional value to the hand if a player manages to win with 72o. Other, examples include betting a fellow poker player that he can’t finish a bike ride from Los Angeles to Las Vegas in 48 hours (famous prop bet between Bill Perkins and Dan Bilzerian) or that he can’t stay vegetarian for one year (another famous bet between Tom ’durrrr’ Dwan and Phil Ivey). As it’s often the case in poker - the sky is the limit.
Why Would You Want to Use Prop Bets?
There are three main reasons for including proposition bets in your poker routine. First one is additional EV. If you already have the edge over your opponents at the table you can surely use the 72o side bet to squeeze some additional value from the session.
Second reason is added motivation that prop bets can provide. A weight loss prop bet with your friends might be the missing ingredient that will finally help you get in shape. Maybe betting your buddy that he can’t play 100k hands in 30 days is exactly what he needs to improve his volume etc. Lastly, there’s the fun aspect of proposition betting. Side-bets can make your home game far more interesting and the sweat associated with a volume prop bet might make the daily grind far less monotonous.
Sample Prop Bets
Here’re a few ideas of prop bets that you can use to gain some additional EV, motivation, and fun while playing poker:
- 72o Side Bet. Oldie but a goodie. We’ve already mentioned it and there’s a good chance you’ve already participated in a similar bet even if you’re not a pro bet aficionado. There are many different variations of the 72o bet but in its basic form if a player manages to win a hand post-flop with 72o he can elect to show it to the rest of the table and receive some number of big blinds from every other player in the game. This can make your home game far more interesting and if you’re good at adjusting to the fact that 72o is now a real part of everybody’s range in most spots you might further increase your win rate. That being said, the added fun and unique bad beat stories will be your main reward for participating in this kind of a bet.
- Volume Bet. If you’re struggling with maintaining a solid monthly volume and you’re a competitive person who reacts very well to the external motivators it might be a great idea to make your monthly volume an object of a proposition bet.
- Last Longer Bet. Another fairly simple and popular prop bet. If you’re playing in a live tournament with your friend you can spice it up with a small challenge by rewarding the person who manages to keep his/her tournament life longer. If you want to emphasize the ’fun’ aspect of the bet over the ’EV’ aspect of it, make sure to get creative with the reward (and/or punishment). For example, you can make it so that the winner of the bet decides what the loser has to wear during another live tournament. Making your buddy show up at the casino in the football jersey of the team he absolutely hates might be worth more than any cash prize.
Prop Bet Etiquette
Proposition bets are an important part of the poker reality and therefore there’s a certain etiquette attached to the idea. First of all, while it’s your job as a poker player to put yourself in a positive EV situations grinding prop bets is usually considered in poor taste.
In one of my interviews with Lex Veldhuis, he mentioned a guy who some time after Lex’s kickboxing fight with Elky offered him a Mix Martial Arts fight. Turns out that person was an experienced MMA fighter so you can imagine that this proposition wasn’t very polite or reasonable. There’s nothing wrong with engaging in pro bets you have a good chance of winning but don’t hustle other people. Make it a challenge and make it interesting.
Honesty and transparency are important elements of a good proposition bet. The details will vary on a bet to bet basis but for example in a volume bet make sure to offer the person betting against you access to your database and if the stakes are particularly high consider streaming your sessions via Twitch.tv. Lastly, remember about the buyout clause. People often greatly overestimate their own ability and it’s important to give them the chance to save face once they realize that. Whatever you do, remember to have fun and mind the EV, otherwise, proposition bets instead of enriching your poker experience might become a gateway drug to gambling which is, of course, a very undesirable scenario.

Poker Prop Bet Ideas Party
Professional poker players are known for being risk-takers as they put their money on the line just about everyday at the poker table and believe they can beat their counterparts and make a successful living.Poker Prop Bet Ideas Pinterest
One of the things that poker players often do to make things more interesting is to take part in unique prop bets that can sometime be outrageous, controversial, dangerous and extremely challenging.Poker Players Love A Insane Challenge
We list the six most craziest prop bets that poker players have engaged in during the last few years.#1 Antonio Esfandiari – Lunge For 48 Hours
High stakes poker pro Bill Perks challenged Antonio ‘the magician’ Esfandiari at the 2016 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) to a $50,000 prop bet that would require Esfandiari to stop walking for 48 hours and only move around through lunges.
Esfandiari who is one of the most successful poker players in the history of the game with more than $27 million in prize money accepted the bet and got himself into a lot of trouble.
Esfandiari was taking part at the PCA and had more than $115,000 in chips at the table. He did not tell anyone about the bet and soon realized that he was suffering muscle fatigue from his constant lunges.
He decided to bring a bucket to the table and used it to relive himself as he could no longer lunge to the bathroom. Esfandiari’s antics at the table were discovered and as a result, he was kicked out of the PCA. Although he won $50,000 from Perkins, his reputation took a hit and Esfandiari admitted in retrospect that he should have used better judgment. He ended up donating the $50,000 to charity.#2 Dan Bilzerian – LA to Vegas Cycling In 48 Hours
Bill Perkins was once again at the center of this unique bet with Instagram king and high stakes poker pro Dan Bilzerian.
Perkins challenged Bilzerian to cycle from Los Angeles to Las Vegas in 48 hours for $600,000 and Bilzerian accepted the challenge.
Not many gave Bilzerian a chance as he admitted it was years since he got one a bike but once he accepted the challenge Bilzerian took things seriously. He worked with Lance Armstrong to build his stamina and in the end succeeded in completing the race within 48 hours – although there was some controversy as Bilzerian allegedly drafted behind a van that was filming the event.

In the end, Perkins accepted that he lost the bet and paid Bilzerian the money.#3 Ted Forrest – Weight Loss Bet
Poker Pro Mike Matusow put $2 million on the line in 2010 when he challenged Ted Forrest to lose weight and go from 181 lbs to 140 lbs within a short time frame.
Forrest was not allowed to use any diuretics or amputate any part of his body to make weight.
Back in 2008, Forrest had challenged Matusow who weighed 250 pounds to make to 181 pounds for $100,000. Matusow made the weight and Forrest paid him $100,000.
So when it came to Forrest’s turn to make weight, he hired himself a fitness trainer and worked really hard to lose the weight. He made the weight in time but in the end Matusow only ended up paying him $70,500. Forrest isn’t pleased that Matusow hedged on his bet and called him out on Twitter in 2014 but is yet to be paid in full.

#4 Phil Hellmuth – Shaves Head After 2002 WSOP
Not a lot of people remember this bet because it happened way back in 2002 but it is memorable because Phil Hellmuth, considered one of the best poker pros in the history of the game with 14 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets and over $20 million in prize money shaved his head after losing a prop bet.
During the 2002 WSOP, amateur poker pro Robert Varkonyi eliminated Hellmuth from the Main Event and Hellmuth would go on to say that he would shave his head if Varkonyi would go on to win the Main Event.
Varkonyi ended up winning the main event and he was kind enough to let Hellmuth off the hook but since Hellmuth had promised his hair to charity, he ended up shaving his head, donating his hair and then paying $10,000 from his own pocket to charity to buy his hair back.#5 Phil Ivey – Go Veggie For One Year
Tom “durrrr” Dwan told poker great Phil Ivey that he would pay him $1 million if he could be a total vegetarian for a period of 12 months.
Under armour sands casino phone number. Ivey accepted the bet and tried raising the stakes to $5 million but Dwan declined since he did not have the money.
In retrospect, Dwan should have accepted the bet as within 20 days Ivey decided to pay Dwan $150,000 and buy out the bet as he realized being a complete vegetarian was more difficult than he expected.#6 Brian Zembic – Boob Implants
Brian Zembic is not remembered for his accomplishments at the poker table but rather for his strange bet than won him $100,000.
Zembic was promised $100,000 if he got boob implants in 1996 and then an additional $10,000 for every year that he kept them. He went through with the bet and got 38C boob implants and won $100,000. He has kept his implants for nearly 20 years and in 2016 stated that he was contemplating removing them as he realized that money isn’t everything.
