'''PROPO SUPER 13''' is a betting game available only through '''OPAP S.A.''' betting agencies. The game objective is to predict correctly in each one of the 13+1 games of the coupon – of national or international leagues – the result of each game, by marking points (1,X,2) 1 for victory of Team 1, X for a draw and 2 for victory of Team 2.

==History==
On Sunday, the [[March 1|1st March]] [[1959]], the first PROPO competition was held which was meant to become a popular game of prediction and chance for Greeks, that gave players hope and offered its lucky winners a lot of money and a new way of living.

During the first PROPO competition, 727,340 columns were filled in. Its first coupon included 12 games. In the same year, in its 8th competition, there was a record in columns with 4,010,502 columns, which was maintained for many years.

Until March 1965, when games became 13, there were only two categories of winners who shared 45% of revenues of each competition. In 1959, agents kept 5% of revenues.

Until [[1975]], each column cost 2.5 Greek Drachmae, when its first readjustment was effected to 4 GDr. Today it costs 0.10 €.

For 32 years, from [[1959]] to [[1990]], '''PROPO''' was the only game that was organized by OPAP. For 32 years this was the only source of income for Greek sports.This was an exclusively popular game.

Until [[1995]], PROPO was handwritten and all its stages passed through human hands and not through modern computers as happens today, However, it wouldn’t have been possible that technology could not affect PROPO, such a big popular game.

Computerized PROPO coupon introduced in the market on the [[April 15|15th April]] [[1995]], differs significantly from the old one both in form and way of filling in; basically it differs in its process which used to require a lot of time (as it was exclusively based on human factor) and it was natural that there were certain mistakes, omissions (objections etc).

Modern information systems used today by OPAP S.A. cover all range of activities from coupon submission up to result announcement, ensuring full safety of the game, fast announcement of results and elimination of mistakes.

Finally, on the [[August 31|31st August]] [[1997]], PROPO was radically reformed and became '''PROPO SUPER 13''' by adding one more game (S13) for the establishment of one more category of winners – SUPER 13 – to include those who have predicted correctly all 13 games plus one additional game. Furthermore, JACK-POT has been established for PROPO for SUPER 13 category and for those categories of winners that have shares lower than 0.88€.

==Distribution of Revenues==
Upon deduction of agents’ commission, distribution of revenues is effected as follows:
*45% of revenues go to winners (40% 1st category, 33% 2nd category and 27% 3rd category)
*1.5% go to the [[EPO|Hellenic Football Federation]]
*2.0% go to ‘ESAPE’
*8.5% go to Football Clubs of the [[Football A Division|1st]], [[Football B Division|2nd]] and [[Football C Division|3rd]] Leagues
