Football pools biased against women?
Swedish network TV4 already last year decided to show women's football matches at their saturday afternoon football show. But these matches doesn't appear on the weekly football pools. TV4 now accuses the state owned Svenska Spel to ignore women's football in spite the matches having three to four times higher TV ratings than the Bundesliga matches (shown at a competing network), that appears on the pools. "We're not looking at TV ratings", says a representative for Svensk Spel, "we want to provide good gambling and Damallsvenskan matches has been far to predictable". But how many would have got the two TV matches so far (Malmö-Umeå 2-2 and Linköping-Djurgården/Älvsjö 2-1) right?

That sounds like good news, that Damallsvenskan games are getting so much better viewing than the Bundesliga.
