Long-running German TV show airing in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In this self-proclaimed "greatest European TV show" ordinary people try daring or even funny bets. A celebrity is challenged to guess if the person is able to do it.

Each show has several celebrities invited who have to bet on different contestant(s) achieving his/her/their goal of performing a stunt. If the celebrities fail to anticipate whether their stunt will succeed or not, they have to meet their stake. Usually one stunt takes place outside the studio. At the end of the show, the best stunt is being voted for by the audience. There is also an audience bet, a stunt which the audience does choose from a preselection, which is not prepared and must be organized by the host city within the time the show is running. If the stunt succeeds, the show's host has to meet his stake.—Oliver Heidelbach

In almost each show there is one child bet, whose candidate is the age of 6-15. But they cannot be voted by the audience, because everyone thinks "Oh my God, he/she/they is/are so cute", and so the grown-up candidates haven't any chance to be voted for the bet champion ("Wettkönig"). Instead they win a special prize in case of their won bet - it can be a meeting with a famous star or an entrance in a fair. 1996-2000 the station broadcasted in every year at Christmas a special show, in there are only child bets (season 2).—RSaVLSG
