An amendment to the budget bill
would see Italy's long-standing Totocalcio football pools and
the similar Totogol and 'Il 9' games replaced by a new single
competition.
These betting pools are cheap to enter and offer big
jackpots, although they are tough to win as predictions related
to several different matches have to come off.
The amendment, which has not yet been approved by the
Senate's budget committee, would see the new game exempt from a
ban on betting advertising, as these pools are not considered
addictive.
