No Way Bets is a free NFL pick’em game run by your favorite local spot. No money in, no money out — just picks, points, bragging rights, and real prizes from the establishment. Here’s the whole thing in five steps.
Sign up free, then join the pool your establishment is running — most folks get an invite from the establishment or a friend who’s already in. One account works for every pool you’re part of.
Every NFL game, every week: pick who wins. For the full points, also answer the two bonus questions on each game — will the favorite cover the spread, and will the total score go over or under the line.
You can change your mind as often as you like. Picks lock 15 minutes before kickoff of each game, so no sneaking one in after the opening drive.
| Call | Points |
|---|---|
| Picked the winner | +6 |
| Spread call right / wrong | +3 / −3 |
| Over-under call right / wrong | +1 / −1 |
Notice the bonus questions can go negative — guessing wild costs you. That’s what separates the people who watch football from the people who watch commercials.
Top score in your pool for the week wins whatever prize the establishment has put up. Winners get an email with a QR code — show it at the establishment, they scan it, prize is yours. That’s it.
No Way Bets is free to play and is not a gambling site — no money changes hands here, ever. Prizes are offered and handed out by the establishment running your pool. You must be 18 or older to play. Full details in the Terms of Service.
