Types of Prodds Prediction Pools

Prodds offers a range of prediction pools to engage sports fans, focusing exclusively on sports events. These pools enhance the sports-watching experience, whether you’re predicting match outcomes or season-long events.

Currently, Prodds features three main pool types: Standard Match Pools, Handicap Match Pools, and Event Pools. Each is designed to bring fans closer to the action with transparent and flexible betting options.

1. Standard Match Pool

2. Handicap Match Pool

Objective	Adjusts for skill differences between teams to create fairer prediction odds.
Handicap System	Applies a handicap (e.g., -0.5, -1.5) to the favored team, eliminating the draw option by creating an adjusted score.
