Welcome to Hosted Pools!

What Is Hosted Pools?

HostedPools.com is your solution to hosting and managing office sports pools. Once your league is set up, we do all of the scoring and updating, saving you countless hours of working away on your excel spreadsheets. Plus your standings and weekly results are always online. We also have areas for league commissioners to post a note for all of the teams to see, as well as a simple message board, for poolies to post their comments, questions and of course smack talk.

We currently offer the following pool types:

Loser Football Pool

The Loser Football Pool is one of the more popular pools we've run. Pick one team each week of the NFL season (including playoffs) to lose. If the team you picks loses, you get points. Each team has an associated value, according to their finish the previous season. Picking the reigning Super Bowl champions to lose and being correct would give you the max of 32 points. Picking the last place team to lose would only gain you 1 point. The highest total points at the end of the playoffs wins the league.

Margin Football Pool

The Margin Football Pool also requires you to pick one team each week of the NFL regular season. Your score each week is the difference between your team's score, and their opponents score. If your team wins by 14, you earn 14 points. If your team loses by 14, you earn -14 points. You are only allowed to pick a team once during the season. The highest total score at the end of week 17 is the winner.

Survivor Hockey

There are two types of Survivor Hockey Pools on HostedPools. In one, you pick one team each week, if they win 2 games in that week, you survive to the next week. In the other, you pick one team each week for a specific game, from the list of games on the weekend. If the team you picked wins that game, you survive to the next week. Teams may only be picked one time during the season. Last team standing wins.
