English term or phrase: pool betting
"Myth: FIXED-ODDS BETTING IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN **POOL BETTING**."

Explanation of the term (from Wikipedia): gamblers pay a fixed price into a pool (from which taxes and a house "take" or "vig" are removed), and then make a selection on some outcome, usually related to sport. In an informal game, the vig is usually quite small or non-existent. The pool is evenly divided between those that have made the correct selection.
