How to Play PointShavers
Pick games against the spread with adjustable lines. The sharper your read, the bigger your edge.
Step-by-Step Guide
Join a Contest
Head to the Lobby and pick an active contest. Each contest features a set of games with spreads already built in. Some contests are free, others require PS Coins to enter.
Make Your Picks
For each game, make your pick. You can shade the line in your favor (smaller payout) or go against the grain for a bigger reward.
Understand the Points
Each pick has a point value based on how aggressive your spread adjustment is. The riskier the pick, the more points you can earn — or lose.
Lock In & Wait
Once you're happy with your picks, lock them in before the contest start time. After that, entries are closed and no changes can be made.
Awarding Points
After the games finish, picks are graded automatically. Wins earn you full points, losses deduct half points, pushes are neutral.
Check the Leaderboard
See how you stack up against other players on the leaderboard. The player (s) with the most points at the end wins!
