Hon brukar använda fjärrkontrollen för att rösta på olika favoritlåtar, hon kör stryktipset via TV:n på lördagseftermiddagen, och tittar gärna på de stora välgörenhetsgalorna.

Norstedt's has "results pool" which means nothing in US English. Is this the same as a "betting pool"?

Explanation:

In the UK you "do the pools" and if you are lucky "win the pools", i.e. guess the results of soccer matches.

sports lottery, sports betting pool


Explanation:
I think I would use sports lottery or something like it since you bet on which team will win or if it will be a tie. - Just a suggestion

Notes to answerer
Asker: With all do respect, Eva-Marie, your initial answer of "sports lottery" did not seem quite right and your confidence level was only 3 whereas his was a 5.

Asker: FYI I used the term "the pools", which you didn't provide. It was most correct in the context of the doc I was working on. Better luck next time.
