I'm wanting to start an EPL office pool similar to how they do college football using the spread. What's the best way to set this up? I would like to use the spread and make the standings using W-D-L, but all I'm finding is the money line.

What's the best way to do this pool?

I've done a little soccer betting before and never have seen a spread on a game. Normally it's just set up as you said something like this:

Team A -140
Team B +230
Draw +120

One way to do it would be to simply have correct and incorrect picks. You have 3 options to choose from for each game and if you pick correctly it's a win and if not it's a loss

A far more complicated but strategic way to do it would be to give everyone say a budget of $2000 to start the season. They then pick 3 games each week and place bets on the money line how they see fit. Keep a cumulative total going and whoever has the most money at the end wins. Of course you would need to set bet minimums and maximums to keep it from getting stupid at the end. This would also require some work on your part.

A much more common (and easier to find online) way is to do a "Predictor" game.
Basically you pick all 10 games every weekend and get points for right result (W L D) and bonus points for the right score.

How would you get a draw in that scenario? Sounds like you either get the result right or wrong.
