TOTOPOT BETTING
Totopot betting, also known as toto betting or other variations (superscore, supertoto etc.) is a type of pool betting in which you need to predict the outcome of as many matches as possible from a predetermined coupon in order to win a pool prize. This type of betting became popular at the offline betting agencies in the early 90s and now it can also be found at many online bookmakers.
First of all, let's explain the concept of toto betting:
o A predetermined coupon is displayed.
o Usually, the coupon has more than 10 matches.
o The goal is to predict the outcome of each match (home, draw, away).
o You have the possibility of placing as many coupons as you want, starting from low stakes (e.g. 10 Euro cents).
o All stakes of the participants are added to a pool and they are split equally between the winners.
o The winners are those who correctly predict the outcome of most of the matches. Usually, the first 2-3 users receive a prize. e.g. if a coupon has 10 matches, those who predict the outcome of 10, 9 and 8 matches will win a prize.
o Apart from the stakes which go into a pool, also huge jackpots can be added e.g. some coupons have total pool prizes + jackpots that can reach 50,000 EUR.
This type of betting is aimed at those bettors who have experience in placing multiple bets with many selections and who want to target huge prizes with low stakes. Currently, there are several online bookmakers where you can place toto bets in many variations: Bet365, Marathonbet, Unibet, Interwetten, Betclic and Vbet are just some few examples.
Marathonbet has two types of toto betting available: toto correct score - in which you need to predict the correct scores of 8 matches (you can win if you correctly predict at least 2 matches) and toto 1X2 - in which you need to predict the outcome of 15 matches (you can win if you predict at least 9 matches). The total stake pool for toto 1X2 can go up to 20,000 EUR and the total jackpot can even reach 1,000,000 EUR.
Unibet has two big categories of totopot called: supertoto and superscore. In the superscore coupons you need to correctly predict the final score of all matches in order to win (usually there are 2 or 3 matches), while for supertoto you need to predict the correct outcome (home, draw, away) of most of the matches in order to win (there are several coupons, such as Extra or SuperToto 14XL with 10 matches, 12 matches or 14 matches).
Interwetten has exactly the same totopot structre like Unibet with supertoto and superscore categories).
Betclic delivers a toto pool betting with coupons which have 14 matches (home, draw, away). In order to win, you need to correctly predict the outcome of at least 11 matches. Depending on the number of correct predictions, you can win: 40% of the total pool if you predict 14 correct results and 20% of the total pool if you correctly predict 13, 12 or 11 matches.
