1. A system, comprising:

one or more processors coupled to non-transitory memory, the one or more processors configured to:

receive, via a network from a first computing device corresponding to a first profile, a first network communication to generate a synchronized group for synchronizing data via the network, the first network communication identifying a second profile of a second computing device;

generate the synchronized group in response to the first network communication, the synchronized group identifying the first profile and indicating the second profile as an invitee;

responsive to generating the synchronized group, transmit a second network communication to the second computing device associated with the second profile, the second network communication identifying an invitation to join the synchronized group;

receive, from the second computing device responsive to the second network communication, a selection to accept the invitation to join the synchronized group;

update the synchronized group to indicate that the second profile is a member of the synchronized group;

in response to receiving a third network communication from the second computing device to place a wager, generate a data record for the wager comprising wager parameters specified in the third network communication;

determine that the second profile comprises a permission setting to authorize automatic generation of a data package to present a content item corresponding to the data record in a feed of the synchronized group, wherein the permission setting, when enabled, authorizes the automatic generation of data packages for presenting, in the feed of the synchronized group, content items corresponding to data records for wagers associated with the second profile, and wherein the permission setting, when disabled, restricts the automatic generation of data packages for presenting, in the feed of the synchronized group, content items corresponding to data records for wagers associated with the second profile;

in response to determining that the second profile is identified in the synchronized group and that the second profile comprises the permission setting to authorize automatic generation of data packages to present, in the feed of the synchronized group, content items corresponding to data records for wagers of the second profile, generate the data package to present a corresponding content item in the feed of the synchronized group, the data package comprising a subset of the wager parameters and stored in association with the synchronized group, the data package encoded according to an encoding format;

receive, from the first computing device via the network, a fourth network communication to access data of the synchronized group via the network; and

provide, to the first computing device via the network, the feed of the synchronized group, causing the first computing device to (i) decode the data package and (ii) generate the content item using the data package, the content item identifying the second profile.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

detect a change in an event identified in the data record; and

generate an updated data package based on the change in the event.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

receive, from the first computing device, a fifth network communication to generate a second data record based on the subset of the wager parameters;

generate, responsive to the fifth network communication, the second data record including second wager parameters generated based on the subset of the wager parameters; and

generate, responsive to determining that the first profile of the first computing device is identified in the synchronized group, a second data package comprising a second subset of the second wager parameters.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

identify the subset of the wager parameters based on the fifth network communication.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

identify, responsive to the third network communication and responsive to determining that the second profile is identified in the synchronized group, a plurality of synchronized groups in which the second profile is identified; and

generate, for each of the plurality of synchronized groups, a respective data package comprising the subset of the wager parameters.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

maintain a data structure identifying a plurality of synchronized groups including the synchronized group, each of the plurality of synchronized groups identifying a respective set of profile identifiers.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

receive a request to increment a first counter or a second counter of the data package in response to a corresponding interaction with the content item; and

update the first counter or the second counter of the data package based on the request.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

detect a change in an event identified in the data record; and

update the wager parameters of the data record responsive to detecting the change in the event.

9. A method, comprising:

receiving, by one or more processors coupled to non-transitory memory, via a network from a first computing device corresponding to a first profile, a first network communication to generate a synchronized group for synchronizing data via the network, the first network communication identifying a second profile of a second computing device;

generating, by the one or more processors, the synchronized group in response to the first network communication, the synchronized group identifying the first profile and indicating the second profile as an invitee;

responsive to generating the synchronized group, transmitting, by the one or more processors, a second network communication to the second computing device associated with the second profile, the second network communication identifying an invitation to join the synchronized group;

receiving, by the one or more processors, from the second computing device responsive to the second network communication, a selection to accept the invitation to join the synchronized group;

updating, by the one or more processors, the synchronized group to indicate that the second profile is a member of the synchronized group;

receiving a third network communication from the second computing device to place a wager, generating, by the one or more processors, a data record for the wager comprising wager parameters specified in the second network communication;

determining, by the one or more processors, that the second profile comprises a permission setting to authorize automatic generation of a data package to present a content item corresponding to the data record in a feed of the synchronized group, wherein the permission setting, when enabled, authorizes the automatic generation of data packages for presenting, in the feed of the synchronized group, content items corresponding to data records for wagers associated with the second profile, and wherein the permission setting, when disabled, restricts the automatic generation of data packages for presenting, in the feed of the synchronized group, content items corresponding to data records for wagers associated with the second profile;

in response to determining that the second profile is identified in the synchronized group and that the second profile comprises the permission setting to authorize automatic generation of data packages to present, in the feed of the synchronized group, content items corresponding to data records for wagers of the second profile, generating, by the one or more processors, the data package to present a corresponding content item in the feed of the synchronized group, the data package comprising a subset of the wager parameters and stored in association with the synchronized group, the data package encoded according to an encoding format;
