Pools
In pools betting, players ‘pool’ their stakes and the combined sum, less what the operator takes out, is divided between the winning participants.
The level of the pay out depends on the size of the pool and the number of winning participants.
The most common betting pool in Britain is the football pool, which is based on the results of football matches.
Pool betting on horse racing, greyhound racing and other sports takes place at race cources and tracks, through betting offices and online. Horse racecourse pool betting is offered exclusively by the Tote.
