PickLock turns your group chat's takes into a scoreboard. Every week you make your picks on real games at real odds, then spend your multipliers on the ones you actually believe in. Your 5x is your conviction. Games end, picks grade themselves off the box score, and the standings settle the argument. HOW IT WORKS Start a private league and send the code to your friends. Pick your slate each week — moneylines, spreads, totals, props, and longshots. Assign a multiplier to each pick. Highest points wins the week. Head-to-head all season, then playoffs, then one champion. NO MONEY. ANYWHERE. There are no entry fees, no cash prizes, and no payouts. Points are virtual and have no monetary value. There is no wallet, no deposits, and nothing to cash out. PickLock is not a sportsbook and is not affiliated with one. Odds are shown as context for scoring, because a pick's point value comes from its price.
