Share Pool
Pool Overview
- 232OfficePools "Share Pool" is like playing at a sportsbook but instead of using real money we are using FAKE money otherwise know as "Shares".
- In this pool, we are looking for the best football (NCAA/NFL) handicapper, so all picks are against the spread and or Totals over/under.
- Your goal is to wager your "Shares" (Fake Money) on NLF and or NCAA football games.
- If your team/wager covers the point spread and/or Total-Over/Under, you WIN your wager, and your winnings will be added to your account.
- You receive the amount of your wager, along with your original wager amount back.
- If your team/wager DOES NOT cover the spread and/or Total Over/Under, you LOSE your wager and the amount you wagered.
- The pool covers the entire NFL and NCAA football seasons, including the postseason.
- Each week, you will place wagers on games, wagering on 1 or all of the following:
- Against the spread
- Totals-Over/Under
- Entry fee is $40 per entry and that gets you $15,000 in shares (Play Money).

How do I play?
Basic Info:
- In this pool, we are looking for the best football handicapper, so all picks are against the spread and or Totals over/under.
Basic Info - Each week on Tuesday, the lines for the upcoming games for the week will be posted on the pool page.
- The Office Football Pool site will determine the lines (they base them on several websites out of Vegas).
- All of the lines will be adjusted so that they all will end in a half-a-point (a line of -7 will be adjusted to -7.5, for example). This way, no one will receive a PUSH on any of their wagers.
- The lines you see on Tuesday will remain the same all week, so if several players wager on the same team/game, each of them will receive the same point spread for that bet.
- The OFP website does say that on rare occasions the line may be changed for a game where the incorrect line is posted, but they say they will email all of the players that picked that game to inform them of the line change.
- When you create your entry at the pool page, you will receive $15,000 in "play money" (the OFP site refers to the gambling funds as shares).
- Your goal is to wager this money on NLF or NCAA football games.
- You will place a Wager On one or both of the following:
- Against the spread.
- Total-Over/Under
- Limits are as follows:
- The MAXIMUM amount you can risk on each of your wagers is $1,000.
- The MAXIMUM # of wagers you can make each week is 25.
- We DO NOT have "juice" on our wagers, so if you risk $100 and win, you will receive $100 (along with your original $100 wager back).
Placing A Wager:
