Interesting facts

The Bet is a 2016 American comedy film directed by Ryan Ederer and written by Chris Jay and Aaron Goldberg. The film features appearances from several professional wrestlers and is also the final film of Roddy Piper.

Production

The Bet was written by Chris Jay and Aaron Goldberg, members of the rock band Army of Freshmen. The script was inspired by their own experience in searching out and meeting girls on whom they once had crushes in school. They enlisted Reza Riazi, who had worked on one of the band's previous videos, to produce the film.

The Bet was filmed entirely in the city of Ventura, California over 13 days in January and February 2014. Many of the locations used have direct connections to Jay and Goldberg, including both of their actual homes, the office where Jay worked, the video store where both Jay and Goldberg had once worked, and the city park where their softball team played.
