stakes without money
All the fun of betting, none of the gambling
Plenty of people search for a baby betting pool with money, but the best pools keep it playful. MyBabyPool never handles money: there is no real money, no gambling and nothing to pay out. The bets are guesses, the winner is crowned automatically, and the prize is whatever your group makes of it.
Prize ideas the winner will love
- Eternal bragging rights and the official title of baby whisperer
- A treat arranged by the group, like a coffee, cake or gift card

How to run a baby betting pool with money
Plenty of families and offices like a small pot on the line, and that is fine. MyBabyPool never touches the money: we keep the bets, work out the scores and show the winner, and your group handles the pot. Here is how to keep it simple and fair.
- 1
Agree on a small buy-in
Two to five dollars per guess is plenty. Put it in the invite, so nobody feels pressured to join.
- 2
Let one person hold the pot
Usually a friend or colleague, not the parents. Collect it in cash or with PayPal or Venmo before the deadline for guesses.
- 3
Decide the split upfront
Winner takes all, or 60/30/10 for the top three. Or put half into the baby's savings: the parents get a gift and the winner still gets the glory.
- 4
Let the scoring settle it
After the birth, MyBabyPool scores every guess automatically. The leaderboard names the winner, so there is nothing to argue about.
Running it at work? Check the house rules first: not every workplace allows pools with money, and in some places even a small pot counts as gambling. When in doubt, play for cake.
