To win the pools you had to perm 8 draws from either 10 or 11 selections depending on how many perms you wanted to make. It was pretty tricky !! The lottery is today’s equivalent. Keep up the good work, really enjoy the entertaining way you get to the week’s Acca.
What he said. It was massive at time as no national lottery so only way to win a million with seven score draws. You guys would smash it. Think still going online somewhere.
As a former Pools winner. aged 9 😉. The aim was 24pts from 8 results... 3pts - Score draw, 2pts No score draw, 1.5pts Away win, 1pt Home win... When there was only 8 score draws that day the prize got big. When there was 15 score draws, everybody won. When there was less than 8 score draws the No score draws came into play. so 23 or 22 points could scoop the Jackpot
I don’t bet on games but I place a large number of accas on outright markets throughout the season and this has become essential viewing for me each week as the level of discussion is very helpful especially in helping me make sense of a somewhat tricky League 2. (I have to bet on League 2 as I’m largely restricted online and unfortunately there aren’t many outright soccer markets on the shop betting terminals😕)
Would usually say you don't want to be wearing the same as Tom, but it is a nice one to be fair with the retro Adidas logo. Good choice 🤝...and good luck? 🤞👀

Sounds a tougher ask than the Acca 😆 thanks Paul!

Thanks for having me again! Really enjoyed it -Gab
Pools was about picking matches to DRAW.
Which was hard enough, but then they made 1-1 'jackpot draws'

Ben Woodburn and Cole Stockton at Salford...that duo gives me nightmares and PTSD as a Hearts fan.
I had to pause the video and watch an episode of Bulleye after Jimmy mentioned it lol
Happened to be wearing the same top today as Tom this week, which means only one thing…
