## What is SweatBet?

We all know the feeling: you plan to hit the gym four times this week, but life gets in the way. SweatBet changes the equation. By combining social accountability with real financial stakes, we make skipping a workout more painful than doing it.

NOW WITH GROUP BETS!
Challenge your entire squad. Create a "Group Melee" where everyone throws into the pot, and the winners split the cash. Whether it's a 1v1 duel or a 10-person war, the rules are simple: Hit your goal, or pay up.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Create a Challenge: Set a weekly workout goal (e.g., 4 runs/week) and a monetary stake (e.g., $50). Swipe to choose between a 1v1 Duel or a Group Bet.
2. Invite Friends: Send the link to your running buddy, gym partner, or your entire run club.
3. Track & Verify: SweatBet syncs seamlessly with Apple Health to automatically log your progress. No manual entry needed.
4. Settle the Score: If you miss your goal, you owe the pot. The app keeps a precise running ledger of every win and loss. Settle up securely via your favorite payment app.

KEY FEATURES
* GROUP BETS (New!): Create challenges with unlimited friends. The pot grows with every participant. Winner takes all (or splits the glory).
* MULTI-BET SUPPORT: Why limit yourself? Run a high-stakes duel with your rival while competing in a casual group bet with coworkers. Manage them all from one dashboard.
* HARD MODE (Pro): Don’t just show up—put in the work. Enforce a minimum heart rate threshold to ensure every workout meets your standards of intensity.
* ANTI-CHEAT: Enable "Hardware Only" to require verified data from Apple Watch, Garmin, or other wearables. Zero manual cheats allowed.
* LIVE WIDGETS: Keep the score front and center on your Home Screen. See your progress and your opponent’s status at a glance.
* COMBINED WORKOUTS: Short on time? Stack multiple shorter sessions (e.g., two 20-minute walks) to hit your daily duration goal.
* THE MERCY RULE: Life happens. You can pause a challenge or grant a "Mercy Credit" to a friend who had a rough week—if you’re feeling generous.

Don't just set a goal. Bet on it.
