What Blue Chip Bet is
Blue Chip Bet is the other direction: a private league among people who know each other, with no money held and no entry fees. College or NFL against the spread, lines frozen Tuesday, live scoring, the pot tracked. One account can be in several leagues.

Moving takes an afternoon
Send us your roster
Names and emails, in a message or a spreadsheet. We set the league up by hand: competition, buy-in, sheet size, lock rule. Nothing to configure yourself.
Everyone gets a sign-in code
No passwords to hand out. Members sign in with a six-digit code by email and can install the site as an app on their phone.
Pick up from this week
Lines post Tuesday at noon Central. History from another site does not carry over; the season standings start from the week you join. Dues and payouts are tracked from day one.
Questions
Is RunYourPool shutting down?
Splash has unified RunYourPool and OfficeFootballPool under Splash Sports and is retiring OfficeFootballPool after the 2026 NFL season. Check their announcements for what applies to your pool.
Does Blue Chip Bet handle money?
No. It tracks who has paid and who is owed, and it never holds or moves money. Real-money contests are exactly what we are not.
Is it against the spread only?
Yes, for now. Every game against the number, win 1, push ½, loss 0. Bowl pools, playoff brackets, Super Bowl squares and survivor are on the way this winter and next season.
Can we run both college and NFL?
Yes. Separate leagues on their own schedules, one sign-in, a switcher in the header.
What does it cost?
Members play free. Small groups are free; larger leagues pay one flat price per season, commissioner pays. The tiers are on the pricing page.
Can our old standings come across?
Not automatically. We can add a note about prior seasons to your league, but the standings and stats start from the week you join.
