Weekly jackpot
Pick17 weekly jackpot at Bikosport Tanzania
Seventeen matches, one TZS 1,000 ticket, and a TZS 50,000,000 grand prize drawn once a week. This page prices the pool honestly: what it costs, what it asks, and how it compares with the daily Pick13.
The weekly pool
What the Pick17 round looks like
Once a week, Bikosports posts seventeen pre-selected football matches, and every ticket costs from TZS 1,000, which makes this the site's largest recurring prize pool and its slowest product at the same time. The figures below come from the operator's jackpot rules, checked on . The price filters players. Consolation prizes run from 13 correct picks, though their exact sizes are published only after the round settles.

The comparison
Pick17 against Pick13
Same game, different appetite. The weekly pool asks four times the ticket price for five times the grand prize, and adds four matches of difficulty between you and it, which is precisely the trade-off worth pricing before payday rather than after.
| Term | Pick17 (weekly) | Pick13 (daily) |
|---|---|---|
| Ticket price | From TZS 1,000 | From TZS 250 |
| Grand prize | TZS 50,000,000 | TZS 10,000,000 |
| Matches to predict | 17 | 13 |
| Consolation from | 13 correct | 10 correct |
| Cadence | Weekly | Daily |
The trade-off in one line: daily players buy four tickets a week at the Pick13 price before they match one Pick17 stake, but they play for a fifth of the prize each time. Pick your tempo first, your pool second. Neither choice is inherently smarter, because both pools share the same regular-time settlement, the same 24-hour postponement window and the same equal-sharing rule when tickets tie.
Honest costing
A year of tickets, priced honestly
One ticket every week costs TZS 52,000 across a year. That figure buys fifty-two separate sweats, and statistically it buys nothing else you can count on, because the grand prize depends on fixtures nobody controls.
Two terms notes belong here. Pool tickets are pool betting, a separate product from the multi-bets that earn the Win Bonus, so no percentage ladder applies to a Pick17 ticket. And while jackpot wins are exempt from the aggregate win caps in section 6 of the terms, the daily and weekly withdrawal limits still meter how fast a big prize reaches your wallet.
Splitting tickets is allowed, and some players cover several tickets with different picks on the same round. That raises coverage but multiplies the weekly spend just as fast, so a two-ticket habit is TZS 104,000 a year before any consolation comes back.
The hard part
Why 17 is not "13 plus four"
Each match offers three outcomes, so the raw column counts are plain arithmetic: 3^13 makes 1,594,323 possible outcome lines, while 3^17 makes 129,140,163. Adding four matches multiplies the difficulty about 81 times, which is exactly why the weekly pool can offer five times the prize and still go several rounds without a perfect ticket. The consolation ladder from 13 correct exists precisely because perfection is rare, and the exact consolation amounts are disclosed only after the pool settles. Headlines are not targets. Treat the ladder, not the headline, as the realistic aim for an ordinary week.
Fit check
Who the weekly pool fits
The weekly rhythm suits one specific temperament, and the honest test is whether seven days between rounds feels like anticipation or like deprivation. Most people skip that test.
- It fits: patient players who research one round properly over several days.
- It fits: fans of big weekend fixture lists, where most of the 17 matches usually sit.
- It does not fit: anyone who needs daily action; the daily pool exists for that.
- It does not fit: players for whom TZS 1,000 is a meaningful loss; the daily ticket at TZS 250 is the smaller exposure and the saner habit for a tight budget.
For the smaller, faster alternative, the mechanics and settlement rules sit in how the Pick13 daily pool pays out, and the settlement section there applies to both pools equally, since both are settled on regular time under the same rules document.

Check the current round before you play
Fixtures, prize money and deadline reset every single week. Reset means recheck. One minute of careful checking beats a stale assumption, and because the match list is pre-selected by the operator, the earlier you read it, the more days you have to research each fixture properly.
