What are pools in football results?
In the football pools most commonly referred as to “the pools” is a type of betting game, historically popular in the UK, Nigeria, across Africa and other part of the world, is where participants predict the outcomes of a list of football matches, usually 49 selected fixtures.
How the Football Pools Work in Nigeria
- Betting Pool: All participants’ entry fees are collected into a single prize pot, or “pool”. The operators deduct their costs and profit, and the remaining money is distributed among those who make correct predictions.
- Predicting Results: Players use a coupon listing weekly football fixtures (usually the top 49 matches across the English leagues) to select outcomes they believe will occur.
- Scoring System: The most famous game, the “Fixed Odds” or “Treble Chance”, requires players to pick a certain number of matches, that will end in a score draw or no Score Draw. Points are awarded based on the type of result: score draws receive the most points, followed by goalless draws, and then home/away wins.
- Winning: For fixed odds, any player with accurate prediction automatically wins and permutation winning is guaranteed if the player crosses the threshold for guaranteed winnings. Also, for treble chance the players with the highest points total share the prize pool. The top prizes, often large jackpots, are typically awarded when only one or a few players successfully predict a specific rare outcome (like exactly nine score draws in a week where there are few others).
- Pools Panel: In the past, if a match was postponed, a “Pools Panel” of former football experts would convene in private to decide the likely outcome for betting purposes, ensuring the game could continue.
