Thanks to Stryktipset, the swedish equalalent of the english pools system I can now watch english football live. Okay so it is only first division football and not the premier league, but seeing as that is where fate has placed Ipswich that suits me just fine. The pools in Sweden is done in pretty much the same way as the national lottery is run back in the UK. Of the 13 matches selected, punters must decide wether a game will finish with a home win, away win or a draw. The slip is then run though a national lottery style terminal and players just sit back and wait for the money to start rolling in. To complete the joy, one of Swedens 3 free national tv stations will show a division one game live with updates from the other 12 games. Todays live game on ”tips saturday” is Ipswich vs Gillingham. So from 4 this afternoon I will be glued to the set cheering for Ipswich doing my best to ignore the cries of ”yay other team” coming from Maria
