To make picks, simply visit the board and click on 5 different player cards to add them to your cart. Once you have selected 5 picks, choose over or under for each pick as well as what league you want those picks for. Only the leagues with that esport will show up in the dropdown list. If you are not in a league, make sure to create or join a league first before making picks.

Based on mathematical analysis here, the 5 pick flex play bet available on platforms like PrizePicks and Underdog seems to be the most statistically favorable bet. We aimed to create a valuable tool to practice and gain realistic betting experience, potentially increasing profits in actual betting scenarios.

Before YouPicks, we were OU Picks for over/under picks. Then a wise man once asked, 'Why OU Picks?'. And ever since then, we listened and became Y OU Picks.

If the board is empty, it is usually because there are no major tournament matches scheduled for that week. Some esports may be in their offseason (months long), while others might have a few weeks gap between major tournaments. Another reason might be because you are checking too late in the week (ex. Fri/Sat/Sun), since the board only displays games until the upcoming Sunday night.

Of course! You do not have to join a public league or play with friends. You can simply make your own private league and play YouPicks alone.

YouPicks started as a small personal project by two friends who love gaming. We enjoy watching esports but were surprised that there were no fantasy league type of websites out there. At the same time, we started using betting sites but hated how much money we were losing (lol). YouPicks was born because we wanted a free alternative to bet against each other without losing money, while also gaining realistic practice for actual betting.
