dead pools

Celebrity mortality wagers

Dead pools are betting pools where participants wager on which celebrities or public figures will die within a given period, typically a year.

Players draft lists of people they predict will die, scoring points when deaths occur.

The term also refers to stagnant water where fish have died, and to isolated pools left when a river dries up.
