THE FOOTBALL POOLS

The football pools is one of the few betting competitions in the world that gives you the chance to win enormous sums of money whilst at the same time exercising your skill and judgement. The football pools term is derived from the fact that the football pools were originally pooled betting competitions. This meant that every player paid a stake that was pooled together with the stakes of all other players. The individual or individuals who ultimately won the football pools then received a proportion of the pool as their prize. The proportion received by someone who won the football pools was referred to as a pools dividend.

Most people who play the football pools today view them as something that can give them lottery-sized wins but at the same time involve an element of skill. In a true lottery, all players have exactly the same chance of winning, but in the football pools players can use their knowledge of football, as well as their skill and judgement, to decide which football matches they want to include among their selections.

This means that you can improve your chances of winning the football pools by exercising a greater amount of skill and judgement. Of course, you'll still need your fair share of luck to win the football pools, but it's certainly a better bet than the lottery if you know what you are doing.
