The CircleCircles

Make it a season-long argument.

A Circle is a private competition with your friends: everyone builds a slate from real, live odds, picks get graded automatically off the actual results, and a standings table settles who was right.

The group chat already does this. Badly.

Somebody screenshots a slip. Somebody else claims they had it too. Nobody remembers last week, and the guy who went 1-6 is the loudest. There's never a table.

A Circle is the table. Everyone picks from the same live odds, everyone's price is locked when they take it, everything grades off the actual result — and at the end of the week there is a number next to each name that nobody can argue with.

How it works

Four steps, about a minute of setup.

  1. 01

    Start a Circle

    Name it, choose how long it runs — one game, a day, a week, a season — and share the code. Your friends tap the link and they're in.

  2. 02

    Build your slate

    Search the live slate for the bets you actually want. Game lines or player props, filtered by odds range if you're hunting a price. Your odds lock the moment you pick.

  3. 03

    Rank your confidence

    Order your picks, each rank used exactly once. Where you put your top rank is the whole game. Picks lock when their game starts, so you can shuffle right up to first pitch.

  4. 04

    Let it settle

    Results grade automatically off the real box score. Everyone gets a notification when the period closes and the standings move.

Two ways to play

Pick the format that fits your group.

Both run on the same live odds and the same automatic grading. The difference is what you're spending.

Pick'em

The flagship

Everyone builds a slate and ranks it by confidence, using each rank once. Your score scales that rank by the real odds you locked in — so a win on a +250 dog pays what a +250 dog should, and spending your top rank on a short favorite is a real decision. Unfilled slots score against you.

Bankroll

Looser

Everyone gets the same fake budget and stakes it however they like across the slate at locked odds. The budget is enforced; the leaderboard is whatever's left. Closer to how you'd actually bet, with none of the money.

No money moves through WizBets.

Circles are played for standings. There are no stakes to collect, no pot to hold, and nothing to pay out — WizBets never touches money anywhere in the product. What you and your friends decide the loser owes is between you.

What you can pick right now.

Game lines — moneyline, spread and totals — work across the leagues in season. Player props are gradeable for MLB today, and football, basketball and hockey props come online as each league's preseason lands and we finish the grading maps for their stats.

We'd rather tell you that up front than have a Circle stall on a prop we can't settle.

What you get

Everything in a Circle.

  • Start one in about a minute.

    Name it, pick how long it runs, share the code. Your friends tap the link and they're in — no accounts to reconcile, no spreadsheet, nobody chasing anybody for picks.

  • Real odds. No real money.

    Picks come from the same live markets the rest of the app reads, and the price is locked in the moment you make the pick — so nobody wins the argument on a line that moved. There's nothing to collect, because confidence is the stake.

  • Confidence is the whole game.

    In a pick'em Circle you rank your slate — each confidence number used exactly once — and the payout scales with the real odds you took. Backing a favorite with your top rank is a decision, not a freebie. A slot you never filled scores against you.

  • A day, a week, a season, or one game.

    Run a Circle for tonight's game, this week, the next six weeks, the whole season, or a window you pick yourself. Standings accumulate across periods, and every pick locks when its game starts.

  • Pick anything on the board.

    Search the live slate for the bet you actually want — game lines or player props — filter by odds range, or send a leg straight from a WizBets answer into your Circle with one tap.

  • Graded for you, argued by you.

    Results settle automatically off the real box score. You get a notification when the period closes and the standings update. What you do with that in the group chat is your business.
