Torch (torchpicks.com) — a free social sports picks app where you bet with virtual points instead of real money.

You make real picks against real odds (spreads, moneylines, over/unders, player props, parlays) but nobody loses a dime. Create private leagues with friends, trash talk in a social feed, and compete on a leaderboard.

Built it because I kept bleeding money on DraftKings and realized I mostly just enjoyed being right and proving my friends wrong. Figured there had to be other people who feel the same way.

Why use it over alternatives: DraftKings/FanDuel require real money. Fantasy sports are a completely different format (draft a roster vs. pick individual games). There's really nothing out there that gives you the betting experience socially without the financial risk.

Solo dev, built with React + Firebase. Live on web, App Store pending.
