sentences: A betting pool, sports lottery, sweep, or office pool if done at work, is a form of gambling, specifically a variant of parimutuel betting influenced by lotteries, where gamblers pay a fixed price into a "pool" (from which taxes and a house "take" or "vig" are removed), and then make a selection on an outcome, usually related to sport.
 In an informal game, the vig is usually quite small or non-existent.
 The pool is evenly divided between those that have made the correct selection.
 There are no odds involved; each winner's payoff depends simply on the number of gamblers and the number of winners.
 (True parimutuel betting, which was historically referred to as pool betting, involves both odds calculations and variable wager amounts.)
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.
