Your avatar

Every player gets a pixel avatar built from layers: a head, a body, a jersey and headwear, with animated gear on top. You dress it in your Locker, and it's the character your picks power up.

XP and 100 career levels

Correct picks earn XP. Fill the bar and you level up, through 100 career levels with rewards along the way: virtual coins and avatar items. Challenges in every sport add milestone prizes on top.

How picks, grading and XP work

Rarity and boosts

Items come in rarity tiers, and many carry a boost: bonus virtual coins on correct picks in that item's sport. Rarer items carry bigger boosts, so your outfit is part of your strategy. Gear never changes whether a pick is right: that is always the real result.

Set your outfit before your first pick of the day. Once you make picks, your outfit and its boosts hold until tomorrow.

Where gear comes from

  • Career levels: rewards as you level up.
  • Challenges: milestones in every sport.
  • Item drops: an exclusive item for a correct margin pick on big NFL and NBA game nights.
  • NBA season leagues: animated gear for the top 10 in each free public league.
  • The store: spend the virtual coins you earn.

BOSS STAGES

Your avatar is also the hero of BOSS STAGES, a 16-bit side-scroller with 8 sports stages and 8 bosses. It's out now in the iPhone app.

Pick'em RPG questions

What is a pick'em RPG?

A pick'em game with role-playing game progression: your picks on real games earn XP, your character levels up, and you collect and equip gear as you go. BetsFriends is built that way.

Is there a sports pick'em game with avatars?

Yes. In BetsFriends every player has a pixel avatar that levels up from correct picks and wears the gear you collect: jerseys, heads, bodies, headwear and animated items.

Do items change whether my pick is right?

No. A pick is right or wrong on the real result. Many items carry a boost that adds bonus virtual coins to correct picks in that item's sport, and rarer items carry bigger boosts.

When can I change my avatar's outfit?

Any time before your first pick of the day. Once you make picks, your outfit and its boosts hold until tomorrow, and you can still preview other gear.
