About MarginPicks
MarginPicks is a season-long football pick pool with one twist: you don't just pick who wins — you pick by how many points.
Land closest to the real margin and you score the fewest points; the lowest season total takes it. The Vegas spread plays too — it's the machine everyone's trying to beat.
How it works
No app, no password. One person runs each pool as its manager — and plays right alongside everyone else.
Every player gets a private link, makes a quick weekly pick, and watches the standings move. That's it.
Who's behind it
MarginPicks is an independent side project, built and run by its creator — not a company, not a startup. Just a better way to run the pool with friends.
The honest part
No ads. Your email is used only to send your pick links and pool updates — never sold, never shared.
It's free to play. Any entry fees are strictly between you and your pool's manager — MarginPicks never touches the money.
Chip in
MarginPicks runs on a few dollars of hosting. If it's made your season more fun and you'd like to help cover costs, you can send a tip — completely optional, and it goes to keeping the lights on, not to any pool's prize money.
