Continental European pools

Similar football pools competitions are frequently known as toto competitions on Continental Europe. While the principle of requiring entrants to predict the results of football matches in advance remains the same, the details are fundamentally different. The name toto derives from totalisator machines which are used to process the parimutuel betting involved.

Typically, a list of 13 matches for the coming week will be given. Pools entrants have to select the result of each one, whether it will be a home win, an away win or neither of these, typically by marking each match with either a 1, a 2 or an N (sometimes X or 0). It is possible to enter two or three results for one or more matches, in which case the entry is treated as a number of separate entries for all possible combinations given; marking two possible results for each of five matches and all three possible results for each of four matches will result in submitting 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 32 × 81 = 2592 different entries. All entries submitting 13 correct predictions will be declared to have won the top prize; sometimes, prizes for fewer correct predictions are also awarded.

The Intertoto Cup competition was inaugurated by the football pools companies of central Europe to provide matches for their toto coupons during the summer months.

Internet company Pools4all.com began trading in September 2008. Its game involved predicting the correct score in matches.

TOTO is a legalized form of lottery sold in Singapore, known by different names elsewhere. Singapore Pools is the only legal lottery operator in Singapore. It was established on 23 May 1968 to control widespread illegal gambling in Singapore during the 1960s.

TOTO is a popular form of gambling in Singapore.

OVERVIEW - Understanding the Game

To play Toto, choose at least six numbers from 1 to 45 and match them against the winning numbers drawn. You can also let the computer pick the numbers for you. Just ask for QuickPick. Six numbers plus one additional number will be drawn every Monday and Thursday. If your numbers match at least three numbers and the additional number drawn, you win a prize! Toto sales start a week before the draw and close at 6pm on draw day. You can choose to place bets for a single draw or two consecutive draws.
