A bet on which celebrities or public figures will die during a given period of time.
All participants agree on the amount to bet and choose 10, 15, or 20 famous people for their individual list. Duplicates are allowed, as long as each list is not exactly the same.
The person who guesses the most deaths during the time period wins the entire pool. In the case of a tie, the dead pool may continue for another month or more in hopes of a tie-breaker, or the winners may split the proceeds.
Most dead pools begin on January 1st and finish on December 31 of the same year.

What % of water is left in the dead pool depends on the reservoir.
