Are pools (gambling) a big thing in soccer?

Always heard or participated in football pools.

Apparently they are a huge thing in other countries for soccer.

Basically a 10 square pool.

Pays on total number of goals.

Works this way:

10 squares
If you end up with a 5,6,7,8,or,9 you get your square money back because it is unlikely that you win but you are a in the pot.

Pool pays at either end of half or end of match.

There are lots of twists and turns of ways pools can be played like American Football. I would have never imagined this was a thing. I thought “Football” pools was an American thing.
