betting pool
Group gambling fund
A betting pool is an arrangement where multiple people contribute money to a common pot, with the winnings distributed to whoever correctly predicts an outcome.
Office pools on sports events are common: Everyone chipped in twenty dollars for the Super Bowl pool.
The pool refers both to the collective wager and the group participating in it.
