    Based on the link this game is starting Feb 1st and each person puts in $35.00. and the pot is split evenly minus the dietbet fee. My first thought is what is the diet bet fee? We have to lose 4% of what we weigh. We have to take a before picture standing on the scale in airport security clothing. My second question what if you don't own a pair of black short and a black t-shirt top? Then we have to show the scale weight. Then in 4 weeks we do the same for after picture. If we lost our 4% in that 4 weeks just exactly how much are we going to get back. If everyone loses their 4% and there is a dietbet dee that is taken out to run this game we will get back less than what we put in. The only way money is made is if others do not lose their 4%. 4% is a small amount of weight to lose in a month. In my case it would be 12 pounds and if I or others that join are early on in their WLS 12 pound should be very easy.
    However after looking at the site more there is this
    If you're caught engaging in the following practices, you'll be disqualified:
    Binging
    Purging
    Excessive fasting
    Hydration or dehydration for the sole purpose of manipulating your weight
    Undergoing any kind of bariatric surgery, liposuction, or other weight-loss procedures

    So if we have WLS we will be disqualified so we can't even join. Please explain better if I am not understanding correctly. Thanks

    This is being set up by a friend who has had bariatric surgery. This a is specifically for those who had surgery. We all know it going in. Yes if everyone loses, you will get back what you put in. If there is a high number of winners, they forfeit the fee. If there is a large group and a smaller group of winners, they take their cut off the top and then it is split. It is a no lose guarantee. You don't have to have black, anything without pockets and that is consistent week to week. There is a code word that you write each week with the scale picture. It is just a fun way to get people to lose. I think its helpful to those that need a little motivation because they have not been losing or even gained.
