The social app for sports bettors

Sweat every leg together.

Everyone in your league adds one leg to the week’s parlay, and every pick gets its own thread.

Free while in beta.

An example league on a Sunday afternoon.

How it works

1
The games are posted
Real sportsbook prices go up for the league’s games, including spreads, totals and player props. Picks open at noon.
2
Everyone claims a leg
When you take a leg, it’s gone for everyone else, along with any leg that contradicts it. Picking early gives you the most choice.
3
The slip locks
Picks lock when the first game starts. Anyone can place the same parlay at a sportsbook if they want to. Banquet never handles money.
4
Follow it live
Each leg updates from the box score during its game and settles when the game ends.
5
Read the recap
After the games, the league gets a written recap, then votes on the worst pick.

Football plays one slip a week, and college football covers Saturday. Basketball and hockey play a slip every night, posted that morning.

What Banquet handles

No arguing over the rules

Legs that contradict each other are blocked, picks lock at the first game, and results come straight from the box score.

Every leg has a thread

Reply to a leg or react to it. The season standings show who has been carrying the league and who hasn't.

One link to send

The commissioner sends the invite. The games go up, picks lock, results come in and the recap posts without anyone touching it.

Start a league

It’s free while it’s in beta. Make a league, send the invite link, and the first games go up on their own.

Start a league

Available for NFL, CFB, NBA, NHL.

Banquet doesn’t take bets, hold money or pay out prizes. Prices are shown so the league can play the game. Placing a real bet is between you and a licensed sportsbook, where you must be 21 or over and in a state where it’s legal. If gambling stops being fun, call 1-800-GAMBLER.
