HOW TO CALCULATE POOLS WINNING

If you have always been in the dark about figuring out how much you won whenever your games click, this post will solve your problem. Enjoy..

Winnings like 3/3, 4/4,5/5 etc in fixed odds are easiest to calculate when the maximum number of lines obtainable have been secured. Just multiply the amount staked by the odd for the coupon that week. 

For instance, if you staked N1000 on a 3/3 or 4/4 or 5/5 and wins and promoters declare 100 to 1 payment odd for the week; you win 1000×100 = N100,000

However, if in a permutation game, you get at least the minimum selection required.

To determine your winnings, first you must know the lines of your selection; then your winning lines which is defined by the numbers you get correctly in your selection (check the permutation reckoner image below below or at back of your special advance fixture). You can then calculate your winning as follows:

1. Multiply your winning lines by the amount staked per line

2. Multiply what you get in (1) above by the odd for the game that week.

For example: If you make a permutation of 3 from 6, the total number of lines is 20(check the permutation reckoner). If your total investment on the coupon is N500, that means the coupon was staked at N25 per line. If out of the 6 games, 5 are correct, your winning line is 10. If the odd for the game that week is 40, then your winning will be:

10 multiplied by 25 = 250

250 multiplied by 40 =10,000

However, there is a more direct formula for this calculation which is:

Winning          =        WL x Odd x AS

TLS

Where:

WL      = Winning Lines        = 10

Odd    = Coupon Odd           =  40

AS       = Amount staked       =  500

TLS     = Total Lines staked =  20

Winning          =          10 x 40 x 500            =          10000

20

More examples

You staked 10 numbers, expecting a minimum of 3, on coupon with N24,000 in week 41. 8 of your selection were correct and they played total of 9 draws on coupon. How much did you win?

WL      = 56

Odd    = 100

AS       =  24000

TLS     = 120  

Winning          =          56 x 100 x 24,000=          1,120,000

120

That same week, you staked 6 numbers expecting a minimum of 3 draws, with N1200. 3 of your selections were correct. How much did you win?

WL      = 1

Odd    = 100

AS       = 1200

TLS     = 20

Winning          =          1 x 100 x 1200=          6000

20

But if 4 of your selection had been correct, your winning would have been:

Winning          =          4 x 100 x 1200               =          24,400

If you had gotten the whole 6 selections correct, your winnings would have been directly calculated as:

Winning          =          Odd x AS      

                      =          100 x 1200                     =          120,000
