The Orionid Meteor Shower was billed as the most visible in years—so Grant and Jonathan bet $100 on how much media coverage it would really get. Would the skies (and headlines) light up, or would everyone just sleep through it?
They lock in their predictions on the number of news mentions and online hype while Producer Jones struggles to pronounce Halley’s Comet. From cosmic forecasts to click-through counts, it’s a battle of science, stats, and snark.
💸 Gentlemen’s Bet turns trending stories into real wagers—from pop culture to sports to whatever’s lighting up the internet. Set a line. Pick a side. See who’s right.
