Football pools In the United Kingdom, the football pools, often referred to as "the pools", is a betting pool based on predicting the outcome of top-level association football matches taking place in the coming week. The pools are typically cheap to enter, with the potential to win a very large sum of money. Entries were traditionally submitted through the post or via collector agents, although you can now play online. Agents would have a specific area in which they collected entries; traditionally, they were paid a set share of every ticket they sold. The traditional and most famous game entered was the 'Treble Chance', now branded the "Classic Pools" game. Players pick 10, 11 or 12 football games from the weekend's fixtures to finish as a draw in which each team scores at least two goals to win the whole or a share of the £3 million Top Prize - a player's best 8 selection count towards their points total. Players can win large cash prizes in a variety of other ways, based on a points-based scoring system.
