What is a jackpot?
A jackpot is a betting pool that consists of a number of matches and each time a bet is made into the pool, it increases the amount available to be distributed in prizes just like in a lottery. Most jackpots have a guaranteed minimum prize, and this is so that punters do not have to worry about the pool ‘not filling up’. Unlike in regular betting where you get to choose the teams you wish to bet on, bookmakers pre-select the matches which make up the jackpot for you and all you have to do is to make the predictions on those matches.
In order for you to win a jackpot, you must pick the correct outcomes for the series of events listed on the jackpot. With most jackpots, you do not have to get every prediction right in order for you to get a payout because bookmakers offer consolation prizes for missing out with 1,2, or 3 legs.
