The Masters bets, settled in your group chat.
The Masters is the most-watched golf tournament on earth and the hardest to predict — only ~30 players are realistic threats out of a 90-man field. The four-day arc creates the longest friend-bet sweat in any major sporting event.
Sunday at Augusta is the highest-stakes leaderboard sweat in golf — perfect territory for friend bets.
By the numbers
The Masters typically peaks at 12-15M Sunday viewers. Sunday-back-nine sweats with side bets are a four-decade-old American friend-bet tradition.
A real example
Four friends each draft a golfer on Wednesday night. Whoever's player finishes highest by Sunday collects $40 from each of the others. Settled records the draft results before round 1.
When it happens
Second weekend of April.

Why friend-bets dominate the The Masters
More money changes hands between friends on the The Masters than any other event of its type — squares, prop sheets, "loser pays for the bar tab" pacts. None of that lives on a sportsbook. Settled gives every bet a signed, permanent record so the friend who calls the right side actually gets credit.
