In 1946 the first ticket, restyling from next season
(ANSA) – ROME, MAY 05 – On May 5, 1946 the Sisal ticket was born for the first time, which two years later – in 1948 – would change its name to Totocalcio, acronym for football totalizer. The legendary prize game, symbol of past generations, turns 75 today and, to celebrate, it is getting ready to redo its look as early as next season.
The competition, as reported by Agipronews, was conceived by Massimo Della Pergola, Fabio Jegher and Geo Molo. In the beginning, there were 12 matches to be predicted – and those who guessed at least 11 results were rewarded – to rise to 13 from the 1950-51 season and to 14 from 2003. With the next championship the ticket will change skin, foreseeing Monopoli the development of the competition on six types prediction: in addition to 13, you will also win with 11 games, and to climb with 9, 7, 5 and 3 matches.
