How a pick works

1 · X · 2

Draws are a normal result in handball, so every match is a classic 1X2 pick: Home Win (1), Draw (X) or Away Win (2). One tap per match, hidden from the circle until throw-off. Scoring is weighted by the odds of your pick, so calling a draw at 8.00 or a road win in Kiel pays far more than backing the favourite at 1.30.

How to bet with friends on handball

  1. 01

    Create your circle

    Name it and share one invite link. Holding the invite link is the invitation — whoever opens it is in the circle straight away, with no approval queue to babysit. Private, invite-only, no strangers.

  2. 02

    Call 1, X or 2 before throw-off

    One pick per match. Mark your Banker for double points. Picks stay hidden until throw-off so nobody copies the group's best tipster.

  3. 03

    Points land at the final whistle

    Results sync automatically after the sixty minutes. Battles settle, the table updates, and the group chat gets its verdict.

FAQ

Handball questions, straight answers

How do I bet on handball with my friends without real money?

Create a private circle on pickplay.bet, invite your friends with one link, and everyone picks 1, X or 2 for every Handball-Bundesliga match before throw-off. Correct picks earn virtual points weighted by the odds, a correct Banker earns double, and head-to-head Battles let you stake points against one friend on one match. Scoring is automatic at the final whistle. No real money is involved.

Which handball competitions are covered?

The German Handball-Bundesliga, the strongest domestic league in the world, every match day of the season. More leagues are added as they become available.

Can a handball match end in a draw?

Yes, and that is why handball uses the 1X2 format on pickplay.bet. A draw is a pickable outcome, and because draws are rare, a correct X usually pays the most points of any pick on the card.

Is this real-money betting?

No. pickplay.bet is a free prediction game. Every bet uses virtual points that have no monetary value, so nothing is wagered, won, or lost. It is not gambling and is not regulated as gambling.

How much does it cost?

Nothing. pickplay.bet is completely free: no subscription, no credit card, no in-app purchases, and no ads.

Do I need to download an app?

No. pickplay.bet is a mobile-optimised web app. Open it in any modern phone or desktop browser, sign in with your email, and you are in.
