Bets with Friends
Set up a friendly bet, share the link so friends can stake on the options, then pick the winner. Losers lose their stake and winners split the pot by the ratio they bet — in dollars, rupees, pizza, or anything.
Set up the bet
Place bets
Add a stake for each friend. Share the link (below) and everyone can add their own on their phone.
Saving replaces the shared copy. If several people edit at once, reopen the link before saving so you don't overwrite each other.
Pick the winner & settle up
How it works
1. Set up the bet
Type the question, choose the stake unit (dollars, rupees, pizza — anything), and list the options people can back.
2. Everyone stakes
Add each person's name, the option they picked, and how much they're staking. Copy the share link so friends can add their own bets from their phones — reopen the link to pull in the latest. Set a "Betting closes" time (or hit the lock) if you want stakes frozen once the event kicks off.
3. Pick the winner
When the result is in, tap the winning option. Losers lose exactly what they staked; the winners split that pot in proportion to what they each put in. The tool shows every person's net and the simplest set of "who pays whom" transfers.
About group bets
How is the pot split?
Losers' stakes form the pot. Each winner takes a share proportional to their own stake among the winners — bet twice as much, win twice as much — and keeps their original stake on top.
What if no one picked the winner?
There's nobody to collect, so the bet is void: everyone keeps their stake and no money changes hands.
Can I stop people betting once the game starts?
Yes — pick a "Betting closes" time in Step 2, or flip the "Lock bets now" switch. A countdown runs until the deadline; after it passes, the add-bet form and every remove button switch off and a "Bets closed" banner takes their place. The deadline travels in the share link, so everyone who opens it sees the same cut-off.
Is the lock actually enforced?
No — treat it as a courtesy lock, not a referee. The whole tool runs on the honour system: anyone holding the link can untick the lock, push the deadline back, or tap a different winner, exactly the same way. The deadline is there to settle "I said that before kick-off" arguments among friends, not to secure real money.
Is my data private?
Bets live in your browser. If you use the share link, the current state is stored on our server behind an unguessable key so friends can load it — anonymous links last 30 days.
