About Pick 'Em Network
Where friendly competition meets sports passion - no gambling, just pure fun!
Our Mission
To create the most enjoyable, family-friendly sports prediction platform where fans can test their knowledge, compete with friends, and celebrate their love of sports - all without the risks of gambling.
The Story Behind Pick 'Em Network
Pick 'Em Network was born from a simple observation: millions of sports fans love making predictions about games, but not everyone wants to gamble real money.
As a platform engineer diving into web development for the first time, I wanted to create something meaningful - a place where families, friends, and coworkers could enjoy the excitement of sports predictions without any financial risk.
After countless late nights, debugging sessions, and "just one more feature" moments, Pick 'Em Network came to life. It's more than just code - it's a community platform built with passion for both technology and sports.
"Sports analytics and odds-making is fun enough without your money being at stake. Time spent on hobbies is already costly enough. There is a middle ground to be had."
- Founder, Pick 'Em Network
