Stupidbetz.com Rewards Users With Money for Taking on Stupid Challenges

ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- A new website is giving its users the chance to earn money by taking on stupid bets put forth by other users and then posting videos of each bet to the site. In a type of "eBay meets Jackass" business model targeted at college-age people, Stupidbetz.com will pay out digital currency for bets like getting your nipple pierced, shaving off an eyebrow, or even taking mace to face.

"Friends and buddies are always daring each other to do stupid things, like putting your hand in an ant pile for 30 seconds or taking a TASER to the tit," said Chris Beauchamp, the Betmaster and brainchild behind Stupidbetz.com. "We're opening up those challenges to anyone across the world. And unlike your cheap friends who never actually pay up, you can cash in through the website."

Users of the site can easily login at Stupidbetz.com using their Facebook account. Once on the site, they can issue a worldwide challenge to anyone willing to video record themselves doing the stupid bet. Once the video is posted to the site, an online community judges the video and determined whether or not the poster's video is worthy of payment.

Users seeking cash can search the site for bets they wish to perform and easily take others up on their bets. Prior to performing each bet on video, they must say "this is for Stupidbetz.com." If the online community deems the video worthy, they get paid.

The site's first sponsored event took place last Saturday at the Tilted Kilt in Orlando, Fl., where the big bet was to beat the record for World's Largest Beer Bong. One hundred-fifty area college students took down the beer bong as well as participated in various side bets issued by a team of hot Stupid Bitchz.   

The "World's Largest Beer Bong" was constructed from a large 70-foot tube and took 2 kegs of beer to fill the massive funnel. Video of the record-setting beer bong bet can be seen at Stupidbetz.com. One of the stupid bets from the event, featuring a guy clamping his tongue in a mousetrap, can be seen here: http://www.stupidbetz.com/bet/2011/11/25/put-your-tongue-mouse-trap?p=d

"In today's economy, college kids especially are willing to do anything for money," said Beauchamp. "For years they've been giving plasma or being part of a research project for beer money. Now there's actually a way to cash in and have a great time doing it as well. Hitting your friend with a fish unexpectedly is much more awesome."
