How it works
One pot. Winners split it.
It's free. There's no bookmaker and no odds anyone sets for you: every pick goes into one pot, and the crowd decides what each side pays.
- Start every week with 1,000 points. Every Monday at 2 AM ET, everyone's points reset to 1,000, win or lose, so every week starts even. Points don't carry over, can't be bought, and have no cash value.
- Make one pick per game. Choose a side and put in up to 500 pts. Your points go in the pot with everyone else's.
- The winners split the whole pot. No house cut. Everyone who called it shares the pot by how many points they put in.
- Finish the week on top. The players who've won the most points when the week ends (Monday at 2 AM ET) win this week's prizes.
The prices move until the game starts: the fewer points on a side, the more each winning point gets. Your own pick moves the price too, and the pick slip shows you exactly how before you lock it in.
A worked example
10,000 pts is in the pot: 6,000 pts on Team A (including your 100 pts) and 4,000 pts on Team B.
- Team A60%6,000 pts
- Team B40%4,000 pts
- If Team A wins, the whole 10,000 pts is shared by 6,000 pts of winning picks. That's 1.6667 per point, rounded down to 1.66×. Your 100 pts comes back as 166 pts.
- If Team B wins, the same 10,000 pts is shared by only 4,000 pts, so B pays 2.50×, and your pick on A loses.

The fine print
- Picks open on game day (at 2 AM ET) and close when the game starts, so there's something new to pick every day.
- One pick per game. Once you've picked, it's locked in: you can't add to it or switch sides.
- The weekly drawing. Make 5 picks in a day to earn that day's entry, up to 7 a week. On a day with fewer than 5 games, picking every game earns it, and keeps your streak going. When the week ends, cash winners are drawn at random: the more entries, the better your chance. Track your entries on the Weekly drawing page.
- Prices are estimates until picks close. Your final price comes from the final pot.
- A winning pick never loses points. It always returns at least what you put in.
- Refunds: if nobody picked the winner, or a pot is voided (a postponed game, a tie), every pick in it is refunded.
- Prizes: you need 5 picks that settle during the week to be eligible. The Official Rules have the details.
