Bet Guidelines

Keep it fair. Keep it clear. Keep it between friends.

BFF is built to track bets, not enforce them. These guidelines help make sure your bets stay fun, fair, and worth tracking.

1. Be Clear About the Bet

Every bet should answer:

• What is being claimed?
• How is it measured?
• When does it end?

Good: "Dolphins win this weekend game".

Better: "Dolphins beat the Bills on Sunday, final score determines winner".

Avoid vague bets. If it's unclear, it will become a problem later.

2. Agree on the Stakes Upfront

BFF does not handle money or enforce outcomes. If you include stakes, make sure:

• Both sides understand the terms
• The stakes are realistic and agreed upon
• The outcome is clear

Examples: $25 Venmo, Loser buys dinner, 50 pushups.

If it's not clearly agreed, don't include it.

3. Keep It Measurable

The best bets are easy to verify. Good bets rely on:

• Public results (games, stats)
• Clear metrics (steps, workouts, deadlines)
• Observable outcomes

Avoid bets based on opinion or interpretation.

4. Record Results Honestly

When the bet ends:

• One person records the result
• The other confirms

Be honest. Your record is only as good as what you log.

5. Use a Judge When Needed

If you can't agree:

• Choose a third party
• Both players must accept the judge
• The judge reviews and makes a call

Judges are for resolving disagreements, not winning arguments. Pick someone fair.

6. Keep It Friendly

BFF is competitive, not hostile. Do not:

• Harass or pressure other users
• Use bets to manipulate or intimidate
• Escalate conflicts beyond the app

If a bet stops being fun, stop using it.

7. You Are Responsible for Your Bets

BFF does not:

• Enforce payment
• Collect money
• Guarantee outcomes

All agreements are between users. If you don't trust someone, don't bet them.

8. Don't Abuse the System

To keep things fair:

• Don't create spam or meaningless bets just for XP
• Don't manipulate results
• Don't collude to artificially boost rankings

We may limit or remove activity that abuses the system.

9. Your Record Matters

Every bet you make contributes to:

• Your record
• Your streak
• Your reputation

Think long term. Make bets you're willing to stand behind. Because once it's recorded, it stays recorded.
