How to Make a Football Pool

Instructions

• 1

  First of all, take a piece of plain paper and draw a 10-by-10 grid on it in order to make 100 squares of equal size. Each square will represent one betting unit of the match. In order to display the grid, you can draw it on a poster board.

  After that, you have to create another vertical and horizontal row of even-sized squares along with the outer side of the original grid of your pool. In this row, you must use different colour from the squares which you had created in the first step.

  Find players who can place their bets before and during the match. Ask the players to place their finals. The bets will be placed in the original 100 squares of the pool. It is extremely important for you to mark the squares, in which you place his or her bet, with the name of the player. Besides, you can also give a deadline for placing the bets. In this way, you will be able to keep a discipline in the game.

  Enter the digits from zero to nine in the outer horizontal and vertical squares randomly. You can simply do it by writing the numbers on a paper and keeping it in your hat. Thus, you can easily draw a random number without any chances of duplication.

  Now, you have to write the word ‘Home’ on the top of the grid and ‘Away’ on the bottom of the grid. After placing the scores on the pool, make copies of it and distribute it amongst all the players who have placed their bets.
