Dan Bilzerian Wins Bike Bet: Vegas to LA in Under 48 Hours

Poker pro and Instagram Playboy Dan Bilzerian was able to bike from Las Vegas to his Hollywood, California home in under 48 hours, winning a cool $1.2 million.

The 35-year-old placed the wager with trader Bill Perkins. 

Bilzerian set off on the 160 mile trek Tuesday.

“I was there when Dan took off,” Perkins tells The Post. “And it was a bit of a circus. He had a 20-person staff and a 10-motorcycle escort. And he was not riding the kind of bike that I thought would be correct for getting this done. The bike was what you’d see a grandpa riding on the boardwalk in Santa Monica” — wide, with a giant, cushiony seat. “But they calculated that it’s better for him to be comfortable and not damage his prostate.”

“@DanBilzerian 25 miles away, dubious van uprooted 100ish miles out, most likely Dan smoked this on a couple drugs and adrenaline #EgoMotivation”

The “dubious van” alludes to a vehicle that Bilzerian had going before him with a specific end goal to make a slipstream.

Bilzerian admitted he had not been on a bike for nearly 20 years prior to this adventure.
