Why I don't deny myself anything.

Congrats on the weight loss. Eighteen pounds is a lot. I haven't joined up yet. I'm just looking around trying to get the feel of things. I know it isn't about the money, but no one wants to lose money. I don't understand three rounds and an eighteen pound weight loss with a win total of $47. Are you not required to put $35-50 in the pot every month? Thanks. Jan

Hi Jan! Thanks for reaching out. The only diet bet I have completed was a month long, $35 bet, so I made $17.98 for winning that game. That's why it says I have won $47.98. I am also in two 6 month games. Those monthly winnings don't become available until the end of the 6 months. My first 6 month game is $25/month. Each month, half of the monthly bet goes into the pot for the month and the other half goes into the pot for month 6. So each month that I win, I am winning beck $12.50 or more, depending on the number of other players who win the round, and at the end of month 6 there is a BIG pot, comprising half of each month bet, plus the $25 bet for month 6. So, even if you don't win one or more of the previous 5 months, it is possible to earn back all of the money invested plus more in the 6th month, again, depending on how many other players win the round. I hope this helps answer your questions. I also suggest reading the rules carefully, and exploring the FAQ section. That's what I did before joining a game to be sure I was fully informed! Good luck with your future games. I highly recommend joining up. Everything is very above ground, and fair, so long as you understand how the process and payouts work.
