Have you ever had a friend or co-worker who enjoys making friendly bets to Self improve?

For instance, you could bet on losing X amount of weight this month?

Last year, I made a similar bet to gain some weight (I'm very thin). So in my case my friend was also thin so we make a Bet to reach some Amount of weight before the end of the month. The bet wasn't a big deal it was only to buy a full meal for the other person just in case of not meet the expected weight. For example If my friend don't reach the expected weight and I reach it, then my friend should pay my meal. I that occasion we both reach the the expected weight and none of us need to pay the other person meal.

Do you have some similar story?, please share it, i would like to read it.

This may not be a typical sports or casino topic, but I think self-improvement deserves some attention.

Another question: What do you think would be a fun and effective self-improvement challenge we could all try?

For example, how about a challenge to do 50 push-ups a day for a month? Would you bet on yourself to complete it?
I lost such bet 20 years ago (my bet was that i stop smokking). After it i just set the goals and try to achieve it without any betting. Few times i made such bets with my wife. She needed it, so i tried to help her. As the result she lost several times and we stopped such betting. It was, studying foreign language, losing weight, something else, i fon`t remember. No one time she won. But i get with my goals winrate at least 60% Smiley
