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?

💸 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.
