He bets his weight loss… and wins $ 5,000

Okay, this story is a bit peculiar and it makes me laugh a lot , but I checked and it’s all true. Basically, there is a site where you can bet on your weight loss: it’s called Healthy Wage , and that’s how it works. You decide how much weight to lose by making a bet on time: for example, you decide to lose 10 kilos in six months. Then a monthly bet is made, which is set aside. If you win the bet, you lose what you wagered. If, on the other hand, you lose the declared weight on time, without cheating, you win the money according to what is established by an algorithm.

Obviously you must not cheat, your doctor must be informed and you must not use shortcuts to lose weight in a short time: the initiative has precise and strict rules. I don’t agree with it, but for this girl , it meant earning nearly five thousand dollars for losing fifty pounds, after she had already lost more than thirty on her own, but she couldn’t find the right motivation to move on. The story of Jennifer Dannison has thus made the rounds of newspapers and television news: in ten months, Jennifer has lost 50 kilos, betting a hundred dollars on herself every month.
Not only did she get back the money she lost at the end of the ten months, but she made an extra $ 4800 thanks to her site
