Betting rules: Pick Points

Pick Points is free. Make your picks on today's games, get every pick in a set right, and earn points you can turn into cash.

The games

• Pick 3: 3 picks, spreads or totals, any league. All 3 right = 2 points.
• Pick 5: 5 picks, spreads or totals, any league. All 5 right = 3 points.
• Moneyline Madness: 3 moneylines, any league, up to -200 (no bigger favorites; any underdog). All 3 right = 0.50 points.
• Get every pick right in all three on the same day for a bonus of +2 points.

Making picks

• Today's games only, and each game once a day: one set of Pick 3, one of Pick 5 and one of Moneyline Madness. Play any or all of them.
• Full Game lines only. No player props, and no buying points: every pick is on the posted line.
• One game can give you its spread and its total in the same set, but not both sides or two totals.
• Confirm each pick on its own. A confirmed pick can't be changed.
• Each pick is graded on the line you picked, even if the line moves afterwards.

Grading

• Every pick in a set has to win. If any pick loses, the set earns nothing.
• A push counts as a loss, and so does a postponed, suspended or cancelled game.
• A set that isn't finished by the end of the day (fewer picks than it needs) earns nothing.
• Picks are graded from the final score, like bets. If a score is corrected, points are corrected too.

Points and cash

• Your points are kept for good. My Bets shows your last 30 days; older points still count in your total.
• Redeem 200 points for $40.00, paid by PayPal to the address in your Profile (usually within 2 business days).
• Points have no cash value until they're redeemed, and can't be moved to another player. One account per person.
