    whats that game called when everyone throws in a few euro and the names of all the teams in the world cup are entered in a pot and each person picks one out at random and thats their team for the world cup and whoever gets the eventual winner gets the money? ive been thinking of the name for ages and its wrecking my head

    I'd call it a pool. But I'm sure theres other names for it.

    Thats an easy question. Its called the 'everyone throws in a few euro and the names of all the teams in the world cup are entered in a pot and each person picks one out at random and thats their team for the world cup and whoever gets the eventual winner gets the money' game.

    Apart from that I'd agree with Pigman on pool
