| Bet | Against | Result |
| Had to run a marathon in under six hours on the outdoor heat-radiating, rubber-urethane track at UNLV, at temperatures of almost 120 degrees. | Mike Svobodny | Won $7,000, but suffered serious heat exhaustion. |
| Bet that Howard Lederer, starting at 310 lbs., wouldn’t weigh less than Huck Seed, initially at 180 lbs., in less than a year. | Howard & Huck | Won $50,000 |
| Had to bench press 225 lbs. fifty times in 24 hours. | David Oppenheim | Lost $10,000 and permanently injured his right arm. |
| Laid 6-1 that Mark Weisman, 43 years old, 5’5” tall, and 230 lbs., couldn’t run a mile in under six minutes, with 18 months to train. | Mark Weisman | Lost $60,000 |
| Bet that Huck Seed’s brother Lief couldn’t run the 280 miles from L.A. to Las Vegas, only sleeping twice. | John Hennigan | Won $10,000 because Lief hurt his Achilles’ tendon after 70 miles. |
