In a baseball pool based on predicting the total runs scored in a game, a specific outcome, such as thirteen total runs, would determine the winning entries. Participants typically select a number or combination of numbers representing potential combined run totals. If thirteen runs are scored in the designated game, those who selected “13” win the pool. A hypothetical example involves ten participants each selecting a different number from 0 to 9. If the game ends with a score of 6-7, the participant who chose “13” wins.
These types of pools add an element of chance and excitement to following baseball. They can foster camaraderie among participants and increase engagement with the sport. While relatively simple, the outcome depends entirely on the game’s dynamics, making accurate prediction challenging. The history of such pools likely aligns with the history of baseball pools in general, evolving as informal prediction games among fans.
