NFL 'Credits' Pool for 2024
Risk credits (i.e. points) on teams you think will win each week
Tired of the same old regular Pick 'em format? Try our 'Credits' format, where members can pick any games using a weighted value we refer to as 'credits'. Members can risk as many or as few credits on any games. The person who ends up with the most credits at the end of the season wins.

What is a Credits Pool?
Here are the rules for our NFL Credits pools:
- All pool members start with the same number of credits (1000 by default, but can be changed).
- Pool members make picks each week by risking a certain number of credits. For example, 200 on the Patriots, 100 on the Giants, etc.
- Members can pick as many (i.e. all) games or as few (i.e. zero) games as they would like.
- Members will receive double the credits risked for each win.
- The member with the most credits at the end of the season wins.
