A job at McDonalds is a bit of a rite of passage for many American teenagers, which over the years has earned it the archetypal status of ‘crappy job.’ That status was likely what motivated high-stakes cash pros Brian ’sbrugby’ Townsend and Brian Hastings to make a 20 hours of employment at McDonalds the stakes in a recent prop bet.

Both players are instructors on Cardrunners.com.

The terms of the bet were fuzzy at best and basically revolved around the stakes that Hastings would play for the rest of 2007. Hastings departed from those stakes (with an excuse), Townsend cried foul, and the ambiguity of the conditions resulted in the whole thing being put to a forum vote on Cardrunners. There, Townsend came up on the losing side of a race, dropping 46% to 54%.
