They use soccer
matches just like the British Winter pools.
However the soccer matches they use are about as
far removed from the English Premiership Big Boys
as it is possible to get.
 They
are all semi-professional, amateur and even amateur
reserve and the equivalent of 'Sunday League'.
Not
all Australian soccer is like this though - the
National League/Ericsson Cup features full-time
professional teams with many imported players who
regularly pull big crowds. But for some reason,
best known to themselves, the British pools
companies ignore these matches and concentrate on
the minor 'state leagues', some of which are of a
very low standard indeed.
However,
as you will see in our
Pools
Tips
section, this can work in favour of those punter
who are in the know, and definitely works against
'mug punters' who pick their draws at random.
Just
why people get confused about whether the British
Summer pools use soccer matches or not can be
explained by our Amazing
Results
section - check these matches out and then try to
imagine this happening in the English
game.
