FANTASY. WITH PICKS.

1. Open the commissioner’s invitation link. Check the league name and accept.
2. Choose Continue with Google to use your Google identity. You don’t need to create a separate LineHuddle password for a new Google account.
3. Prefer a username? Choose Sign up, enter your name, email and a password of at least 10 characters. Save the recovery code and open the verification email. After verification, finish team setup. If you opened another tab, your invitation also appears under Your leagues.
4. Set your team name and choose a helmet. Existing accounts go straight to team setup. Your account name is used if you leave the team name blank.

Joining is immediate unless your commissioner requires approval. Join before the scheduled season start; late entry is closed. Returning? Sign in the same way you joined. Your initials in the header open Account settings and Sign out.

1. From Leagues, choose New league. Name the league and your team.
2. Open Season dates. Choose the first and last NFL weeks in the calendar, then Use these weeks. The highlighted weeks show regular season, semifinals and championship. Cancel leaves your dates unchanged.
3. Set team count, league timezone, weekly bankroll, stake limits and parlay rules. The small help controls explain each setting. Custom playoff cash appears only when you choose a custom amount.
4. Create the league. Open Commissioner Tools for settings and the invitation list. Send invitations, check who has joined and approve pending requests. The season starts automatically at Tuesday midnight in the league timezone for your first selected NFL week.

You’ll see Commissioner view if you own the league. Other members see Player view. The scheduled start locks competition settings and closes joining. An undersized roster stays in preseason; if opening games have begun, choose a future starting week. With playoffs on, at least four teams must be in; without playoffs, at least two. Even numbers work best; odd leagues rotate byes.

Open your league’s Games tab. Games are grouped by kickoff day; Away and Home sit above the team names. Times display in your account timezone. Hover, focus or tap a market heading for its explanation.

Moneyline

Pick the team to win. At +150, a $50 stake wins $75 profit; the total return is $125. At −110, a $50 stake returns about $95.45 if it wins.

Spread

Pick a team against a handicap. At −3.5, it needs to win by 4 or more. At +3.5, it can win outright or lose by 3 or fewer.

Total

Pick Over or Under the combined score. Over 44.5 wins at 45 or more; Under wins at 44 or fewer.

Parlay

Combine picks from different games into one ticket. Every active leg must win. A losing leg loses the ticket. One pick per game; your league sets the leg limit.

1. Select a line. It appears in Bet slip. Choose Singles for separate tickets or Parlay for one combined ticket.
2. Enter the stake. In Singles mode, that amount applies to each pick. Check Total stake, Available and Potential return. Return includes your original stake.
3. Remove one pick with its X, or use the X beside the slip count to clear all draft picks. On desktop the list scrolls inside the slip, keeping the stake and submit controls visible. On a phone, use the bottom Bet slip button, then Back to games.
4. Choose Place single, Place singles or Place parlay. A “Bet placed” message confirms acceptance; the ticket then appears in My Bets.

V1 is pregame only. Picks lock at kickoff. Accepted odds stay fixed, even when the market moves. If a price changes before acceptance, review the updated slip and submit again. Accepted tickets cannot be edited or canceled.

Check the feed status before building your slip. The pilot uses shared, scheduled snapshots. The countdown shows the next planned update; capture times show the age of the prices you are playing.

My Bets shows accepted tickets for the selected week: locked odds, every leg, stake, status and potential or actual return. Use the week selector to look back. An unsubmitted draft exists only in your slip.

Use Whose tickets to see a particular opponent or all league bets. You can also click a team in Matchup or League to open its tickets. Accepted picks are visible immediately to fellow league members; draft picks stay private.

Your weekly bankroll resets to the league’s starting amount. Last week’s winnings don’t carry into the next week, but your season profit still counts. Settled returns can be used again in the same week when the league allows rebetting.

Place at least one accepted bet to qualify. An accepted bet later voided still counts. The qualifying player with the higher ending bankroll wins, including unspent cash. Equal qualifying bankrolls produce a tie. No accepted bets means a loss; if neither opponent bets, both receive a loss. A bye has no W, L or T.

League holds the full standings, playoff bracket, teams and season history. Standings use wins, then ties, then regular-season net profit. If those tie, seeding compares winning tickets, best winning-ticket profit and finally a recorded random draw.

Choose Net profit in Sort to see who has earned the most virtual profit. Sorting changes the view, not playoff seeds. Open Season history for completed weeks and their tickets.

When playoffs are enabled, the top four seeds enter semifinals: 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3. Winners meet in the championship. Open League, then Playoffs, to see the bracket. The default full-season schedule ends with semifinals in Week 16 and the championship in Week 17; check your league settings for your actual dates and playoff bankroll.

A tied playoff matchup uses the league’s selected tiebreaker, normally the higher seed. Profit-based alternatives then compare current-round winning tickets, best ticket profit and higher seed if needed. Settings show which rule applies.

After the season finishes, the commissioner can archive it and create a rematch. Completed records remain available. Six-team brackets, divisions, multisport leagues and continuous bankroll are future features, not current v1 modes. League Plus is planned for v2.

Use Feedback in the header to report a bug, suggest something or flag a confusing screen. It includes the screen and league context. Your message is private to you and LineHuddle support.

Open Help to create a support request or read replies under Your requests. Add what you were trying to do, what happened and your device/browser. Never include passwords, recovery codes or verification links. Replies stay in the conversation; don’t rely on an email notification during the restricted pilot.

Try the demo to explore sample tickets, weeks and playoffs. Its season replay is a simulation saved in your browser. It does not create a shared league, invite friends, use your account bankroll or place tickets in the hosted app.

The account app at /app is the shared league experience. It accepts bets only with a valid current feed and open competition week. The pilot feed may pause at its credit limit. New bets and real-game settlement are separate steps: accepted tickets wait for real final results.
