A prop bet (short for proposition bet) in poker is a side wager made between players that isn’t directly part of the poker game itself. It’s usually made for fun, profit, or challenge, and it can be about almost anything—from who will win the next hand to who can eat more hot wings during a break.
In live and online poker, prop bets are a way to spice things up, keep players engaged, or sometimes just show off. They can involve actual hands, unrelated challenges, or even long-term goals (like playing a million hands in a month).
While some are harmless fun, others can get intense or even dangerous—especially if real money is on the line and things get out of hand.
Famous players like Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu are known for wild prop bets that range from push-up contests to marathon challenges.
