Could You Spend 30 Days In Total Darkness And Isolation?

the good news for this bet is if you did you would receive $100,000,

the bad news, if you give up it costs you $100,000! this strange bet was thought up between Australian poker player Rory Young who asked his buddy and fellow poker enthusiast Rich Alati how long he thought he could last in a small, dark room without any human interaction, Alati’s answer of 30 days seemed unrealistic to Young, and from there the stage for an unusual “prop bet” was set. Prop bets are designed to test the mental toughness of card players away from the poker table, and usually have very high stakes. This one was no different, with both players depositing $100,000 of their own money in an escrow account and agreeing to pay the other side if they lost the bet, Alati stood to win $100,000 if he managed to spend a full month isolated in a small, dark room, and Young would pocket the same amount if his friend quit before the deadline, the game was on, “The conditions are complete darkness, so no electronics, no light-emitting devices, no drugs of any kind,” Rory Young told The Action Network, “He is allowed any type of food that he wants. He has a bed in there, he has a shower and a bathtub”, but it did not end up as either player expected, on the 20th day, after making a food delivery for his friend and seeing that he was in good spirits, Young began to negotiate with Rich Alati, hoping to cut his losses, He initially offered Alati $25,000 to end the bet on the spot, but eventually ended up agreeing to pay him an early buyout of $62,400 just to cut his losses, both players had hedged their bets, back to the question, could you stay the 30 day course for $100,000?
