A betting pool, syndicate, 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.)

  • A betting pool, syndicate, 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.) Betting pools are not connected only to sports, as there are topics such as deaths and births which people can bet on. Death pools usually involve well-known individuals, such as celebrities and sports figures, which the participants predict will die within a certain period of time. On the other hand, birth pools involve individuals picking specific dates in which someone, who can be either a celebrity or friend, gives birth. (en)
  • Se llama polla, en la mayoría de los países de Hispanoamérica, a una apuesta deportiva, especialmente si se refiere a las de las carreras de caballos, o trata sobre los resultados de un torneo o partido de fútbol de especial rivalidad o trascendencia (Mundial de Fútbol, torneos nacionales de primera división, etc.), acordándose las condiciones de la apuesta previamente entre los participantes. En cambio, en España esa definición corresponde a una de las acepciones de la palabra porra (que se aplica a la apuesta informal entre un grupo de amigos sobre cualquier hecho futuro, independientemente de su carácter deportivo o no), mientras que la palabra polla no se emplea nunca en ese contexto.​ En Uruguay se le llama penca.​ Es una tradición muy arraigada en Colombia, España y Argentina, donde se juega entre compañeros de trabajo, de estudio, amigos o familiares; mientras que en Chile (conocida como Polla Gol ) estuvo administrado por un ente público.

  • Porra apustu mota bat da, gehienetan kirol emaitzekin lotua. Parte hartzaileek diru kopuru berdina porran jarri eta gero, porrako dirua kirol emaitzak asmatu edo jokoa irabazi dutenen artean banatzen da. Porrako apustuak futbolean partiduko azken emaitza izaten da. Txirrindularitzan porra konplexuagoak antolatzen dira, aukeratutako txirrindularien sailkapena zein den, porrako parte hartzaileek puntu kopuru ezberdinak jasotzen dituztela. Txirrindularitzak porrak Internet bitartez euskaraz antolatzen hasi zen Tropela Elkartea 2005. urtean. Tropela.net zeritzon hasieran zerbitzuari eta ondoren Tropela.eus, eta hasieran hizkuntza bakarra euskara bazen ere, gero beste batzuk gehitu zituzten. Tropela.eus zerbitzuan lagunarteko porra-talde bakoitzari tropeltxo esaten zaio. (eu)
