Dietbet is the easier of the two. You can sign up for 3 bets at a time (4% in 1 month, or 10% in 6 months), and it only requires 1 picture per month. To get the most money, you could do the following:
1) Sign up for 2 1-month challenges, and 1 6-month challenge.
2) At the end of 1-month, sign up for another 1-month challenge, and another 6-month challenge.
3) At the end of the 2nd month, sign up for another 6-month challenge.
[That is the plan I am following right now, having won the 1-month challenges, and am now in step #3]
Assuming you could/want to lose that much weight. To win all of those bets, I think you'd end up at 197.4 at most.
Healthwage.com is different. The bet varies based on what you want to lose and time horizon.
I'm just gonna quote myself. But yes, you can do 3 at once.
On the 4% bets, I've typically made about 50-75% of the bet (so $12.5 to 20 on a $25 wager). On the 10%, I doubled my money.

Fitbit Surge, Charge HR released
The Surge is the one I think I want. However, there seem to be numerous concernsabout the HRM accuracy when exercising. Automatic sleep tracking. Basic phone integration (text/call notifications, music control).

I'm trying to upgrade to a Charge HR. The Surge is a lot more money for features I won't use.

I'm not 100% sure it's worth it, but I definitely want to give it a try. If I could get a fitness tracker + running tracker + HRM in one package, that's worth it to me. Today I have: Phone, Bike computer, HR Strap. HR Strap only works with bike computer. And using the phone's audio controls while running isn't easy, so having that on a watch might be nice.
I'd prefer to get an Android Wear watch, but there isn't one with continuous HRM yet.
Now if it could only track my swimming too

Dietbet: The 10% contests work like this:
6 months. each of the first 5 months have 10% of the pot, with 50% of the pot in the final month.
I paid $125 to join one two months ago. So that's $12.50 per first 5 month's pot, and $62.50 for final pot.
Month 1 won: Grossed 17.73 (net 5.23)
Month 2 won: Grossed 37.89 (net 25.64). People suck at not eating during holidays.
I joined another in December, same $.
Month 1 won: Grossed 19.43 (net 6.93).
I also did 2 4% monthly games that have ended.
Bet: $30, Grossed 51.81, net 21.81
Bet: $30, Grossed 51.88, net 21.88.
So in the past two months, I have made about $81.50.
Last year, I did a single 10% bet, and netted 163. If I make just 125 per 10% bet, I'll end up at $400 or so, total.

I kind of wish I could temporarily block all the emails from all the local pizza places.

I just learned that there is such a thing as peleo flour, coconut flour, and you can make bread and buns and shit with it.
My god, this may save me.

Anyone ever tried kelp noodles? Rumor has it they have a neutral taste and very low carbs.

I eat kelp. The rumour about the carbs sounds like an easily verifiable fact. Taste is aesthetic and relative.

In stock directly at Fitbit online.
I bought my Surge directly from them as I couldn't find one in stock anywhere else.

Do kelp noodles taste like the ocean? I hate fish and that fishy taste. I once did a spit-take in business class in Tokyo when i emptied a bag or what i thought were peanuts into my mouth and it ended up being dried seaweed bullshit.
