If you want social betting first—sharing picks, seeing what friends are playing, and talking trash—there are a couple of apps that fit especially well:
pikkit.com — Probably the closest match to your description. You can sync sportsbook accounts, share bets, follow friends, see their picks, copy bets, and interact with a broader betting community. It supports 30+ sportsbooks/institutions.
wagerlab.app — More focused on betting with your actual friend group. You can create friendly wagers, pools and leagues, track who's up/down, and trash-talk. Importantly, WagerLab uses virtual units and doesn't handle real-money wagers.
bettorvision.us — More of a sportsbook tracker with a social layer: aggregate bets across sportsbooks, follow friends, and discuss picks. Its site currently says the community feature is being rolled out.
Quick distinction
If you want…
Look at
Social feed + share/copy real sportsbook bets
Pikkit
Friendly bets, pools & trash talk without real money
WagerLab
Aggregate all your sportsbook activity + social features
Bettor Vision
For the specific “my friends can see my picks and roast me when I lose” experience, I'd start by looking at Pikkit and WagerLab.
You should check out WagerLab or BettorEdge for a peer-to-peer and community-driven experience where you can track wagers, compete, and engage with friends.
Top Social Betting Platforms
WagerLab : Great for casual groups using a virtual units system rather than real-money cash-ins. It lets you track friendly bets, join private betting leagues, browse live odds across major sports and entertainment, and secure bragging rights.
BettorEdge : Functions as a social sports betting marketplace focused on peer-to-peer wagers instead of playing against the house. It includes social features like following friends, climbing leaderboards, tracking ROI, and participating in group chats.
ReBet : Combines a social sportsbook and casino-style setup where you can follow friends, share and copy picks, and interact within a clean mobile interface.
Yes. There are several apps moving in exactly that direction, although very few combine a full sportsbook with a genuinely good social layer. The strongest matches I found are:
App
Pick sharing
Follow friends
Friend/group tracking
Built-in chat / trash talk
Real-money betting
Sleeper

🥇 Sleeper — probably the closest match
Sleeper has arguably the strongest social-first approach. Its Picks product lets you create contests with friends, join "Squads," see what your friends are picking, and follow contests together. Most importantly, in-app chat is built directly into the experience.
It has essentially turned the betting/picks experience into a group conversation: "Here's my pick → here's yours → let's see who gets wrecked."
Sleeper also explicitly promotes reactions, GIFs and trash talk in its other sports-pick experiences.
Best for: a friend-group betting experience where the social interaction is as important as the wager.
🥈 BetsFriends — closest to a dedicated social betting network
BetsFriends is particularly interesting if your idea is "Instagram/Facebook for sports picks."
It has:
Public/private pick boards
Followers
Private leagues
Private league chat
Game-specific chat rooms
@mentions
Analysis attached to individual picks
Leaderboards
Seeing how many people picked each side
Its recent updates specifically describe a model where one matchup has one chat room, with pickers and spectators talking in real time.
Best for: pick-sharing, following handicappers/friends, and game-by-game banter.
🥉 Fliff — social sportsbook, but less chat-centric
Fliff calls itself a "social sportsbook." You can follow friends/users, see and challenge their picks, compete on leaderboards, and compare results.
The distinction is that Fliff's social layer is more about competition and following picks than having a Discord-style conversation attached to every game.
Also, Fliff's model is a free-to-play/sweepstakes social sportsbook, rather than a conventional cash sportsbook.
Best for: social competition + sportsbook-style picks without needing a traditional sportsbook.
Pick Party — interesting "friends-only" approach
Pick Party takes an even more group-oriented approach. It has private invite-only groups, activity feeds, leaderboards, streaks, reactions/trash talk, and "Copy & Fade" so you can follow a friend's pick or deliberately take the opposite side.
The catch: it's not a conventional real-money sportsbook. Its core game uses tokens rather than dollars.
The interesting gap
If you're asking because you're thinking about building something like this, I think there is still a meaningful gap in the market.
And after the game, the app could automatically generate "receipts": win/loss records against each friend, biggest sweat, best/worst pick, current streak, etc.
Sleeper comes closest to this overall concept, while BetsFriends is particularly interesting for the social feed/chat/pick-sharing side. The major opportunity appears to be combining those social mechanics with a fully featured regulated sportsbook.
If you'd like, I can also research the competitive landscape more deeply—including DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Underdog, PrizePicks, Betr, Rebet, BettorEdge, etc.—and make a feature-by-feature matrix showing exactly what exists today and what's still missing.
