College Bookie Pool

Simulate sports betting with friends by picking college football games against the spread. Track winnings and crown the season’s best bettor.

Want the strategy of a play-money college football pool without real-money wagering? Our College Bookie Pool lets you run a season-long NCAA league using point spreads and a configurable virtual bankroll. Managers can use weekly play-money additions or start everyone with a fixed season bankroll and no weekly refill. Start your bookie-style league today — it's 100% free!

If you previously managed a Shares Pool on OfficeFootballPools, this format can be configured in a similar season-bankroll style now that that pool has been discontinued. For example, start each player with $10,000, set the weekly addition to $0, and disable +6 if you want a straightforward spread-based competition.

How College Bookie Pools Work

  • Managers choose the bankroll format: a traditional weekly play-money refill, or a larger fixed season bankroll such as $10,000 with no weekly refill.
  • Each week, players pick games against the spread and assign wager amounts.
  • Winnings are calculated based on odds (fixed or variable line settings).
  • Player with the highest bankroll at season's end wins the pool.
