Pools is an exciting bet type from that can provide you with a big dividend from a small outlay. Combine your knowledge of sport with your tipping prowess to discover if you are you up to "the BIG test every week".
Pools are similar to virtual picking competitions in that you need to select the correct Winning Team and Margin for 10 Rugby/Rugby league matches or 10 Football matches, from one of five options.
How much does it cost?
Starting from $1, you can spend as little or as much as you want on a Pools bet. Each selection is multiplied to work out the total cost of the ticket.
You can bet on more than one selection per match by simply choosing more than one selection, up to all 5, to increase your chances of winning.
For example, a ticket made up of 2 x 1 x 2 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 2 x 1 x 2 selections with a $1 base amount = $16. The total cost represents the number of different combinations - for example the $16 ticket covers 16 different combinations and would be the equivalent of filling in 16 individual Sports Pools tickets. Some common combinations are provided below - remember you can cost your combinations before placing your Sports Pools bets online.

5 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 = $5
