Football Betting Office Pools
A sports office pool can be a good morale and productivity booster. It gets people interacting with each other in friendly competition. Participants have something in common to talk about and get to know each other a little better. Friendly cooperative employees are productive employees.
In this article, and some follow-up articles, I will be discussing a few office pools that can be tailored to almost any sport, but that are particularly well suited to NFL football.
Point Spread Football Betting Office Pools: This is an office pool to see who is the best at picking game winners taking into account the point spread for the game.
Each week of the season, the games for that week are listed on a sheet of paper with the point spread for each game. The pool participants are given a copy upon which they indicate the team they think will win, taking into account the point spread
In other words, which team will beat the spread.
Particpants get one point for every game they pick correctly. So, if seven out of fifteen games were picked correctly, the particpant gets seven points.
This process continues for the entire season. The particpant with the most points at the end of the season wins the pool. You can also have prizes for the top winner for each individual week.
Football Betting Point Spread Office Pool with Confidence Ratings
This variation of the point spread pool allows participants to rank their game picks according to their confidence level. The pool is played the same as the basic point spread pool except that participants assign a number rank to their picks and get a bigger reward for correctly picking the games in which they have the most confidence.
A number one is placed next to the game pick they are most confident about, number two next to their second most confident pick, and so on. If there are fifteen games that week, the pick the participant is least confident in will be number fifteen. For ease of administering the pool, you can have the participants turn in a sheet on which they have listed the games with their most confident pick at the top progressing down to their least confident pick at the bottom.
Now, instead of one point per game, this type of pool assigns graduated points to the game picks. The game at the bottom of the participant's sheet, the game pick with the least confidence, is worth one point. The next one up is worth two points, and so on. If there are fifteen games that week, the game at the top of the list, the game pick with the most confidence, is worth fifteen points.
The person with the most points at the end of the season wins the pool.
