ITYS: I Told You So

Call it before it happens. Then make them answer for it.

I Told You So is a betting game for group chats, played with ITYS that are worth exactly nothing. You already know what your friends are going to do. Now there's a scoreboard.

HOW IT WORKS

Call something a friend is about to do "Sam will be late again", "Alex leaves before midnight", pick your side, and put ITYS on it. Everyone else in the group picks a side too. The odds move as the money comes in, so backing the unpopular call pays more.

The person the bet is about doesn't see a thing. Not until the deadline passes.

THE RECKONING

When time is up the bet locks and the pool is sealed nobody can see who backed what, and neither can they. Then they get asked two things:

Did it happen? And who called you out, and how much did they put on it?

Answering settles it on the spot. Reading your friends correctly pays you a cut, taken straight out of the winnings of whoever was right. Getting read is the part people screenshot.

Say nothing and everybody simply gets their ITYS back. Nobody else gets to decide for you.

GROUPS

Bets live in a group the flat, the five-a-side team, the family chat. Share a link or a QR code and people are in. Every group keeps its own leaderboard, and there's a global one when you want the real numbers.

NO REAL MONEY

ITYS are virtual and have no cash value. Nothing here can be bought, sold, cashed out, or topped up with real money. This is a game about being right, and about the people who have to admit it.
