WE BUILT A BANK
FOR LUNCH.
Sandwich Bets exists because somebody said "I'll put a sandwich on it" — and three weeks later nobody could remember who won, what the wager was, or whether a Reuben had been promised. We decided that would never happen again.
THE ORIGIN
Sandwich Bets started with a problem I created for myself: I kept putting sandwiches on things and then forgetting to collect. It came from the fact that I say “I’ll put a sandwich on it” constantly, usually about dumb things, usually with people I like, and usually with absolute confidence I have not earned.
The problem is that sandwich bets are beautiful in the moment and useless in memory. Someone says the Broncos will find a new and humiliating way to win. Someone else disagrees. A sandwich is wagered. Then two weeks later nobody remembers the exact terms, whether chips were included, what the price cap was, or who technically owes whom lunch. Victory becomes folklore. Accountability dissolves.
So this is the napkin ledger, turned into an app. It records the claim, names the counterparty, preserves the stakes, and remembers the dumb social contract everyone else was prepared to forget. Then, because the modern internet is diseased, it adds a completely unnecessary odds ritual based on unrelated nonsense.
No cash. No casino. No house. Just confidence, consequences, and lunch (maybe).
THE OPERATORS
A small, over-credentialed crew keeping the ledger honest and the odds meaningless.
Adjudicates contested results from a great height. Strongly believes a burger is not a sandwich and will not be taking questions.
Oversees the Show Mercy program. Has personally watched several losers get bought a sandwich anyway, and approved.

A private lunch-debt enforcement tool built inside a sticker-covered mountain-town deli sportsbook. Someone talked shit. The app remembers.
