🎰 Dialogue: “Nextdoor Prop Bets at the Flammlandia Casino Sportsbook”
INT. FLAMMLANDIA CASINO — SPORTSBOOK — DAY
Huge digital boards flash with odds: “NEXTDOOR PROP BETS — LIVE.”
Screens show Nirav’s LinkedIn posts, a Commodore 64 boot screen, and a dusty 1983 Yugo.
A gambler walks up to the counter holding a hot dog, a racing form, and a confused expression.
GAMBLER
(excited)
Alright, kid. I’m here for today’s Nextdoor props. Heard they’re hotter than the Dolphins’ 4th-quarter collapse.
SPORTSBOOK TELLER
Today’s board is wild. You want the standard lines or the exotic props?
GAMBLER
Give me all of it. I haven’t seen odds this fun since the “Will Twitter Break Today?” market.
The teller slides over a glossy sheet titled “NEXTDOOR ACTIONS: TODAY’S OFFICIAL ODDS.”
SPORTSBOOK TELLER
Alright, here’s what we’ve got:
📌 Not post for 3 days — 5/4
📌 Not post for 5 days — 9/2
📌 Not post for 7 days — 12/1
📌 Not reach out to Niel — LOCK OF THE DAY, -5000
📌 Deactivate LinkedIn account — 18/1
📌 Try a new slick way to avoid Niel commenting — 9/4
📌 Shut down the entire operation rather than DM him — 80/1
📌 Accidentally let comments stay ON for 45 seconds — 200/1
📌 Page the Intern and boot up the Commodore 64 — EVEN MONEY
GAMBLER
(shaking his head)
Man… this is chaos. Who’s making these decisions? A Magic 8 Ball?
SPORTSBOOK TELLER
Pretty much. The 8 Ball is overqualified.
GAMBLER
Alright, lemme put $50 on “Try another slick workaround.” They love that one.
SPORTSBOOK TELLER
Smart play. They usually do a triple-reverse-shadow-ban-repost maneuver. They confuse themselves every time.
Suddenly, the big board flashes BREAKING NEWS:
🚨 NEXTDOOR HAS NOT POSTED FOR 2 HOURS 🚨
👏 ODDS UPDATED LIVE 👏
GAMBLER
Whoa! They haven’t posted?? Is that a sign?!
SPORTSBOOK TELLER
It could be a standard Thursday panic. Or the intern lost the Yugo keys again.
GAMBLER
I’m doubling down. $100 on “Not posting for 5 days.”
A loudspeaker crackles:
LOUDSPEAKER
“Attention Flammlandia Sportsbook patrons:
New prop added — ‘Will Nextdoor accidentally enable comments again today?’ Odds currently 500/1. Place bets responsibly.”
GAMBLER
(smiling, pulls out wallet)
Deal me in. I haven’t seen odds that juicy since MySpace tried a reboot.
TELLER
Just remember in Flammlandia, the house doesn’t always win…
But Nextdoor doesn’t.
They share a knowing nod.
