Zero points. Maximum noise.
Anyone in the channel can post a side bet about anything — whether it's football or the office thermostat. Everyone answers with one tap, the creator calls the result, and the whole thing is worth exactly nothing. Which is why half the office plays it who never predicted a match in their life.
Google ChatComes with every pool. Start one with /sillybets once your competition is set up.
🎲 Silly bet from @Priya
Will @Maya close the big deal before Friday?
🙋 15 answers so far · Bragging rights only — silly bets never touch the leaderboard.
🙊 @Maya can't answer this one — they're the subject.

Bet settled: 👍 Yes. Maya closed it with a day to spare. Eleven of you believed — Dan, Ash and nine others take the bragging rights. The four doubters know who they are.
Three formats, one card each
A bet posts as one card to the pool channel — never a thread bomb, never a DM. Tapping is the whole interface.
“Does the all-hands actually finish on time?”
The classic. Two buttons, one office divided.
“Who arrives last on Monday?”
Up to a handful of options — the creator writes them, everyone picks one.
“How many minutes late does the 10am start?”
Everyone names a number; whoever lands closest takes the glory.
The rules, all four of them
Deliberately fewer rules than the games it sits beside. The point is the shoutout, not the scoring.
Zero points, forever
Silly Bets never touch the leaderboard. No points, no tiebreaks, no effect on anyone's season — the win is that everyone saw you call it. That rule is enforced in the code, not just the copy.
No money, obviously
No stakes, no odds, no balances. “Bet” is the joke. It stays a prediction game about whether Dave will wear shorts in December.
Tagged? You're the subject
Mention a colleague in the question — “will @Maya close the big deal?” — and they become the subject of the bet: they can see it like everyone else, but they don't get to vote on themselves.
The creator calls it
Whoever posted the bet resolves it: correct, wrong, or closest. No moderation queue, no appeals process — it's an office bet, not a courtroom. A bet nobody resolves quietly voids itself after 14 days.
