I too was hoping for more of a payout from this game, but I took a little time to gain some perspective. I lost my December game by .5 lbs, I won in November and now January. Before this I was losing money every month on WW and NOT weight! I have lost nearly 10% of my body weight in the past 3 months and that was through the holidays too. That’s flipping amazing for me!!! My husband has lost 20 lbs just because he eats what I eat, my whole family is benefiting from me leading by example. If I win an extra $3 or $15 a month (I definitely spent more than that on fast food a month full disclosure) that’s fine. I am getting smaller, stronger and healthier everyday …that makes me feel like a million bucks

This is the way every dietbet I've been part of calculates the winnings:
3,223 (players in this game) x entry fee
3,223 x 40= 128,920
In our case 5,000 extra added= $133,920
Dietbet states they take 10-25%.
Every db I've done 25% is the fee which in our case leaves $100,440.
This is divided by the 2310 winners to get the winnings of $43.48, or a net winnings of 3.48. If you paid the extra $5 for membership that gives you chances to win additional prizes but the fee is not added to the pot. While I think the fee should not have been taken out of the extra 5,000 my calculations show this would have only made a difference of 54 cents.
3223 x 40 = 128,920. Minus 25 % fee leaves 96,690 + 5,000= 101,690
101,690÷ 2310 = 44.02.
I would have liked winning more and that has happened on other dietbets but I'm getting close to my goal weight and these groups have helped. I love the encouragement from others, recipe ideas and other motivation and this group has been great.

- I had a non scale victory today, I have been trying to get to 10,000 steps since October when I started my first game. I just checked to see where I am at step wise and I was going to hop back on the treadmill again for 15 mins and I freakin did it I didn’t even realize!! I’m actually proud of myself I feel like crying and I had to share.
- I don’t snack very often, but we’re sitting in this ice storm with nothing better to do while I wait for dinner time. So here’s my snack while I’m reading and waiting on my more substantial dinner. Cashews, pumpkin seeds, craisins, and enjoy life chocolate chips.
