I am surprised MLB Pools and payouts aren't higher, considering it's pretty much the only Pools to bet on right now.
They are now offering MLS and MMA Pools but I can't imagine they would garner much interest.

Re: OLG gift cards
Estimated NFL Week 1 Pools Pot is about $16K and change (as of Monday evening, Sept 6).
Curious to see what it ends up with. I will keep track of the estimated pot close to cut-off time and actual pot here.

Re: OLG gift cards
This is estimated money pot ($16K) so you can divide by $5/ticket to get an idea how many tickets have been sold
Obviously there can be multiple $80 tickets with 4 boxes so I don’t usually consider the number of tickets sold, just the overall pot of money.

Re: OLG gift cards
Estimated pot for Friday morning 07:30 is $58,530.
Let's see if this can approach $500K+ like in years past for Week 1 NFL.

Re: OLG gift cards
I am still undecided whether I want to play Pools, certainly not the ones with 15 games.
If you recall, the Pot used to hover around $800K a decade or so ago and I am surprised it has steadily gone downhill since then. I applaud the OLG for showing the estimated pot this year, for some transparency.

Re: OLG gift cards
when it first come out, it was exciting, i am even hit one with friends for around $500 winning, quickly realized playing favorites bad idea, you need upsets and more upsets is better, but in same time if you take some money and put on proline, outcome can be good too hitting dogs. certainly 15 is hard.
