I just signed up for a Diet bet challenge and am wondering if anyone has had any experience with it. I figured for $25 it was fairly safe.

Thoughts?

    I thought they were filing for bankruptcy or getting sued or something.

    As for betting on weight loss, sometimes accountability and monetary motivation can make a difference.

    I haven't used DietBet because I don't trust my weight loss enough to not lose the money and I'm on a ridiculously tight budget. Buuuut, I use their sister app StepBet and I love it. Never had an issue with payouts, their customer service is nearly instantenous and very friendly, and it's motivated me to up my daily step count by about 75% in the past 4 weeks. I'd recommend either app for sure.

    I did one last month, got my $35 back plus $20. The payout was nearly instantaneous after the final weigh in was complete. I'm doing another month long one with that group right now, plus I signed up for a 6 month one. It's been a great added bit of motivation!

    I just completed a Dietbet's Kickstarter game. The initial deposit was $100 and I received an email saying I have won $100.44, so I won 44 cents after 4 weeks.

    Look at it like Vegas, not losing money is a win.
