High-stakes gamblers Dan Bilzerian and Bill Perkins are discussing a potential follow-up prop bet to the Las Vegas-to-LA bicycle ride the previous completed last week.

Perkins told Card Player in an interview that ideas for the double-or-nothing wager include rowing from England to Ny City, walking coast-to-coast across America and climbing Mount Everest. Because Bilzerian completed the last wager, it might be Perkins’ turn.

“Do I TRULY need to lose a nose? I MIGHT be very upset if I lost my nose,” Perkins said of the opportunity of climbing Everest. “If we've got a big gamble with a 1-in-20 chance of dying I wouldn’t like that."

As for walking across America, Perkins said he’s undecided he can be concerned with devoting that quantity of time to of venture. Bilzerian’s 300-mile bike ride, which netted him $600,000 from Perkins and tens of millions more in side bets, needed to be completed within 48 hours, and he ended up doing it in exactly 33.

While there has been a minor “misunderstanding” between the 2 a few van that Bilzerian was in a position to draft behind for awhile, Perkins said Bilzerian’s performance was “quite impressive.” In keeping with Perkins, the vehicle, which was removed about 100 miles from the tip of the ride, probably only allowed Bilzerian to save lots of 4-6 hours of time.

“I didn’t comply with vehicle drafting, but I don’t think on the end of the day it will have made a difference," Perkins said.

Bilzerian, a 35-year-old who has suffered heart attacks, spent some huge cash preparing for the ride (greater than $100,000), which included a chef and in addition some coaching from Lance Armstrong. “No chance he would have made it without the help,” Perkins said.

According to Perkins, Bilzerian underestimated the chance of the ride. At one point, when Bilzerian was going about 30 miles per hour down a hill, a series on his bike came off. Despite that close call and a few others, Bilzerian finished basically unscathed. But he did have serious concerns about his health before even beginning.

“Three days before [the ride] he checked into the hospital with chest pain and arm pain," Perkins said. "He didn’t tell anybody, but he checked in. I BELIEVE he basically got lucky he didn’t get seriously hurt.”

Bilzerian, who's known for his Instagram photos of a playboy lifestyle, won’t be continuing his cycling training. He lost 15 pounds way to the bet.

“He hated it,” Perkins said of Bilzerain’s training. Bilzerian said he hadn’t been on a bicycle in 18 years.

Before his bet with Bilzerian, Perkins was the person behind a high-stakes lunging prop bet with poker pro Antonio Esfandiari. The three-time bracelet winner ended up deciding to urinate in a bottle underneath a poker table while competing in January’s PokerStars Caribbean Adventure main event. Esfandiari was disqualified and later apologized for taking the prop bet that far.

Perkins said that while the bet with Bilzerian had “more entertainment value,” it was costlier than his previous one. But “dollar for dollar, the Antonio bet” was more fun, Perkins said.
