Ryder Cup bets, settled in your group chat.
The Ryder Cup is the only major team golf event in the world — and the only one where friends from opposite continents can bet against each other on national pride. The matchplay format generates head-to-head friend bets at a scale no stroke-play tournament can.
USA vs Europe matchplay golf — the bets get loud and so do the group chats.
By the numbers
Ryder Cup biennial viewership peaks at 5-7M US viewers. The cross-Atlantic friend-bet rate during the singles matches is among the highest in any golf event.
A real example
Two friends — one in Boston, one in Edinburgh — bet $100 on team outright plus $20 per session. Settled holds the bets across the time zone gap.
When it happens

Why friend-bets dominate the Ryder Cup
More money changes hands between friends on the Ryder Cup 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.
