How a pick works

1 · X · 2

Football is the one sport where the draw is on the table, so every fixture is a classic 1X2 pick: Home Win (1), Draw (X) or Away Win (2). One tap per match, hidden from the circle until kick-off. Scoring is weighted by the odds of your pick, so calling a draw at 3.40 pays far more than backing the favourite at 1.30.

How to bet with friends on European soccer

  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. The owner picks the competition — one circle per league, or mix them all.

  2. 02

    Call 1, X or 2 before kick-off

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

  3. 03

    Points land at the final whistle

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

FAQ

Soccer questions, straight answers

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

Create a private circle on pickplay.bet, invite your mates with one link, and everyone picks 1, X or 2 for every fixture before kick-off. Correct picks earn virtual points, a correct Banker earns double, and head-to-head Battles let you stake points against one friend on one match. Scoring is automatic at full time. No real money is involved at any point.

Which football competitions can we pick?

The UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and the FIFA World Cup. The circle owner chooses the competition when the circle is created, and a group can run several circles side by side.

What is a 1X2 pick?

1X2 is the standard way to predict a football result: 1 means the home team wins, X means a draw, and 2 means the away team wins. pickplay.bet uses it for every soccer fixture because, unlike the NFL or NBA, a draw is a normal outcome.

Is this like a Premier League predictor or a fantasy football league?

It sits between the two. Like a predictor game you call results rather than pick squads, but unlike a public predictor everything is private to your circle, scoring is odds-weighted, there is a Banker for double points, and you can challenge one friend head-to-head on a single match.

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.
