Joe Rogan, Vanessa Selbst and Samantha Abernathy also get involved in the $1.2 million cycling prop bet.

The already bizarre story of Dan Bilzerian's $1.2 million cycling prop bet took an even stranger turn, as disgraced former Tour De France champion Lance Armstrong has offered to coach Bilzerian.

In a truly star-studded negotiation, comedian, podcaster and UFC host Joe Rogan gave Bilzerian the news that Lance was interested.

Armstrong recently appeared on Rogan's popular podcast in a very revealing tell-all interview. Bilzerian has been rumoured to be a guest on the podcast for a few years now, but as yet has not appeared.

Given Armstrong's well documented use of steroids and Bilzerian's reputation for being a party guy, it will be interesting to see what exactly this training would entail.

Perkins also laid out a challenge to Armstrong himself:

@lancearmstrong @DanBilzerian I'm betting Lance can't do it in 15 hrs.....Lance up for the challenge? — Bill Perkins (Guy) (@bp22) February 20, 2016

Selbst and Abernathy get in on the action

It seems if you are looking to make a quick buck in the high stakes poker world, the quickest route is to offer to do something extreme for money around businessman Bill Perkins.

Both Vanessa Selbst and Samantha Abernathy have hijacked the cycling prop bet, and it looks like they too will be attempting to cycle 278 miles in 48 hours in the Las Vegas sun.

@VanessaSelbst @thakilla yes a bet....your responsibility to take a legal route, 48 hrs, no performance drugs — Bill Perkins (Guy) (@bp22) February 20, 2016

It's official. I'll hop on a bike March 10th at 10am & try not to die 🚲#VegasToLA

Will be filming.. May also @periscopeco along the way? 😋 — Bambi (@SamAbernathyy) February 20, 2016

It appears that the bet will take place on March 10, and no doubt more players will come out of the wood work and more rules will be established in that time as this wager is becoming a big talking point in the poker world.
