Phade is the social sports picks platform for you and your group. Pick real games against real sportsbook lines, run the office pool without the spreadsheet, and let the leaderboard settle who actually knows ball. PICK'EM CONTESTS Create a contest in seconds: choose your sports (NFL, CFB, NBA, MLB, NHL, college hoops), bet types (spread, moneyline, totals), scoring, and dates. Everyone picks against live lines and the standings update as games go final. SURVIVOR POOLS The classic knockout, for both the NFL and college football. Pick one team to win each week, never reuse a team, survive the longest. One or two strikes, optional moneyline tiebreaker that rewards bold picks, and automatic weekly results. GOLF MAJOR POOLS For the Masters, PGA Championship, U.S. Open, and The Open: draft a lineup across odds-seeded tiers, count your best rounds, and follow a live leaderboard with hole-by-hole scorecards. PLAYOFF BRACKETS When the postseason arrives, fill out the full bracket before it locks and sweat every round as correct picks stack points, with a champion bonus on top. BUILT SOCIAL Leagues keep your group together across contests. Invite with one link, trash-talk in contest chat, follow friends, and climb the leaderboards. Prefer to fly solo? Track your own picks and let the analytics page keep your receipts: record, ROI, streaks, and win rate by team and bet type. NO MONEY, EVER Phade never handles money. There are no deposits, no wagers, and no payouts: just picks, standings, and bragging rights. For 18+. Push notifications keep you on time: pick reminders before kickoff, graded results, and weekly survivor updates.
