The office pool is a great idea run on terrible software. GroupStakes gives it a real home: the commissioner posts the week's games in one tap, everybody picks from their phone, and a leaderboard carries the season. Members play free with points, not money — the stakes are bragging rights and a very public wheel of shame.
You know the guy. He waits until Saturday night, reads everyone else's picks, and fades the crowd. In GroupStakes, pick'em markets run blind — every pick is hidden until the market closes at kickoff. Then the whole board flips face-up at once.
The Pick'em Sunday pack drops the week's matchups into your league in one tap, closing at Sunday kickoff.
Picks are hidden while the market's open. No anchoring, no copying, no fading the group.
At kickoff the board flips public — who's alone on an upset, who chickened out, who's all chalk.
The commissioner rules it, points pay out instantly, the leaderboard updates, and the chat does the rest.
Markets close at kickoff, enforced by the app — nobody edits a cell after the early games go final.
Push notifications when the slate posts and when it settles. No more “REMINDER: picks due” emails that three people read.
Weekly boards, a running leaderboard, and a finale. Last place doesn't just lose — last place spins the wheel of shame.
The same league runs markets about anything — who's late to the tailgate, whether the office party goes past ten. Steal from the 50 ideas.
Players join free with a code. One commissioner pays $14.99, once — the league is theirs forever, seasons included. Running fantasy too? See the fantasy side bets playbook.
