Really Burns My Cookies

Honest question as I am new to Dietbet- what do you think they should be doing to help you lose weight? I understand the concern with how they calculate your initial contribution versus your winnings, but they also provide an extensive online hosted site, monitor and verify weigh-ins, and facilitate this comments and support from the community. What else do you think could help? Meal plans? Exercise plans? I'm curious.

I think they should post diet tips, exercise tips, motivational quotes, and recipe ideas all the time, every day, even multiple times per day. I think they should ask thought provoking questions to draw out the silent types. A lot of people would not put themselves out there to talk to strangers or meet new people, but they would follow a conversation and contribute when the leaders draw them out. I have so many ideas because I've spent years on these sites. Some things helped, some didn't. But if they are taking in as much as 20,000 dollars at a time in some challenges, then they need to up their game. My first challenge had a huge pot of 70,000+ dollars. I read that 22% of the people did not win. So that's a HUGE amount of bucks to not share with the contestants. They should not get to have their cake and eat it too. If they aren't really sharing the profits as they claim to be, then they need to increase the COACHING.
