It’s time for Weight Loss on a Budget Tip #17: Consider Joining a DietBet.  So, what is DietBet?  It’s a online diet contest/weight loss betting pool site that gives you 28 days to lose 4% or more of your weight.  If you meet the goal you get a cut of the pot of everyone’s bets.  Bet amounts vary.
“DietBet is a game where you’ve got 4 weeks to lose 4% of your starting weight. To begin, everyone puts money into the pot. After four weeks, whoever’s hit their 4% goal is a winner and splits the pot.” –Â dietbet.com
Kinda cool, right? Â It’s a new school take on the old school practice of weight loss pots at the office, among friends, etc. Â You can start your own dietbet and compete with friends, with family or you can find a contest on the DietBet website.
Is it legit? Â They have a lot of controls to try to ensure fairness. Â You can check out the details on their website.
“Players will submit official weigh-in photos at the start and end of a game. DietBet will verify each photo and certify the final winners.”
“Two days before your game begins, you’ll be prompted to submit your official starting weight.
Our standard weigh-in process involves you submitting two photos, one of you on a scale in airport security attire; another of the scale’s readout with your weigh-in word.”
The weigh-in word is a great idea. Â You don’t find out what the word is until 2 days before the contest starts to put it in your before photos (on a piece of paper). Â You get a new word at the end of the contest for your after photos. Â That makes it very difficult to cheat. Here is the list of dietbet games that are currently going on.
