So the bookmakers don't have anything to do with the government lotteries, they just use the lottery results from them, when you play with them you are not buying lottery tickets from the governments or states, they are like private bookers or whatever, you gamble with them only, you pay them and if you don't win they keep your money, if you win, they the bookmakers themselves pay you.
It's like playing at a casino and the bookmakers are the owners of the internet site (casino) business, but they use the winning numbers from national lotteries around the world for their gambling business. Right?
It's like the Mafia used to do here on the United States, with the Pick3 and people still do with the football and other games, they do private gambling among themselves in small groups.
The bookmakers are Bookies such as we have on the United States, in here they are better known as "Bookies".
But perhaps those are "Legal"? or quasi-legal.
The ones we have here are not.
Now I understand who or what the bookmakers are, but I don't understand how you bet or what the bets are, but I might be able to figure that out later, that is, I would if i was interested, but I have enough with U.S. state lotteries, I understand that you might not want to give money to your national lottery, because it's impossible to win it, it's also impossible here, but more so there,
that is why people here like to play the pick 3, because that's a game that they can sometimes win, unlike the Lotto pick 6 and your SuperEnalotto.
At least with the bookmakers (Bookies) you have a chance
to win, with the Lotterie Nazionali you don't have any chance at all.
That's something that we can all understand here.
Your country is not the only one that has a monopoly on the lottery, all countries do.
And yes, there is a very good chance that the lottery was born on Italia.
And yes lottery games are different in other countries, that is why yours are so strange to me and I don't understand them, but that is because I don't know anything about them, and yes your SuperEnalotto maybe is the one that is almost the same as our lottery games.
I don't know.
Anyhow thank you for your help, I never new that there were any such lottery bookmakers on the internet, but I now know.
Ciao.
