Two Ballard guys start FatBet.net

Ballard’s John Dirks and Adam Orkand wanted to lose weight, so they turned it into a friendly competition with a $200 bet. The “fat bet” was so successful, they created a website called FatBet.net where others can do the same and track their progress. For example, one wager would require the loser to “swim to the first buoy at Camano Island (at high tide).”
