draftkings sportsbook poolsDraftKings has unveiled a new product for week 10 of the NFL season. This week players can participate in the DraftKings Sportsbook Pool. The idea is based largely on widely-popular March Madness pools that float around offices and business during the NCAA basketball tournament.

There will be no point spread or moneyline to digest. The DraftKings Sportsbook Pools will give novice players a real opportunity to hit the big prize. While guessing might generate a large payday, adding a bit of strategy to each pick might be the ticket to huge cash prize. Here’s how the DraftKings Sportsbook Pools will work.

How much is an Entry?

Entry fee in the first DraftKings Sportsbook Pool is $20. There is a minimum prize pool set, plus there will be a $100,000 jackpot split between all players who nail every game of week 10 correctly. This is an excellent addition to the DraftKings game list that targets the everyday player who doesn’t want to study game odds and do extensive research. Want to sign up for Pools?
