Pick'em Fantasy Gambling

Real odds. No real money. Start a free pick'em, survivor or points-sportsbook league in about a minute, then let the leaderboard do the trash talking for you.

Pick'em turns your group chat into a season-long competition.

Everyone in your league gets the same slate each week. You pick spreads, totals and moneylines against real odds and submit before kickoff — about a minute's work. When the games end, the picks grade themselves. No spreadsheet. No commissioner doing math on Monday morning.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Start a league. Choose a sport and a format, build the ballot and the scoring, then send a join code to the group chat. Change any of it later.
2. Make your picks. Spreads, totals and moneylines on the week's slate, with one lock for extra points if your league plays it.
3. Watch it grade. Final scores land, points post to a live leaderboard, and the weekly recap tells everyone who blew it.

THREE WAYS TO PLAY Pick'em — everyone gets the same ballot and the best score wins. Most leagues also run a Lock of the Week, where one pick a week carries multiplied points. Survivor — one straight-up winner a week, never the same team twice. Lose and you're out, unless your league plays with extra lives. Last one standing takes it. Sportsbook — everyone starts with the same balance of points and puts points behind each pick. Winners come back at real odds, parlays run from two to ten legs, and the standings rank on who grew their pile the most, not who picked the most winners.

Run a survivor pool alongside a pick'em league and everyone plays both at once.

THE COMMISSIONER SETS THE RULES How many picks are on the ballot and which types are on it. What each slot is worth, so a tough underdog can pay three times a chalk moneyline. Whether Lock of the Week is on and what the multiplier is. Starting balance and stake limits in sportsbook leagues. How many survivor lives everyone gets. Pushes score half rather than nothing, each pick locks at its own kickoff, and level scores break to whoever picked the biggest underdog that came in.

MORE THAN THE BALLOT

• Somebody wins every week. Top score takes the week and keeps the badge for it, so a season is a stack of chances to win something rather than one.
• Achievements, awarded the moment picks grade. On Fire for three weeks running. Contrarian King for winning with a pick almost nobody made. And the ones nobody wants: Sheep, for following the league into a loss, and Perfectly Wrong.
• Weekly recaps. Who took the week, what every pick did, and the trends across the league — ready without anyone having to write it.
• Your own numbers. Win, loss and push records split by pick type, plus how often your lock actually lands. Most people find out they're far better at one kind of pick than they assumed, and far worse at another.
• Team stats. Every team's record against the spread, pooled across every league on the app.
• League chat sits beside the standings, so the trash talk lives next to the evidence. Direct messages too.
• Reminders before picks lock, by push and by email, so the person who always forgets is out of excuses.

SPORTS Pro football, college football, pro basketball and college hoops. Each league is tied to one sport, and you can be in as many leagues as you like — a work league, a college one, and the group chat you can't leave — switching between them from the lobby.

WHAT IT ISN'T Pick'em is not a sportsbook, including the format called Sportsbook. Nothing in the app can be bought and nothing can be won. Points have no value outside your league: they cannot be purchased, deposited, withdrawn, transferred, or exchanged for anything at all. Real odds and point spreads appear because they are the fairest way to price a pick — a scoring mechanism, not an invitation.

The app is free. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no ads.
