Zetters: Lady Luck looks away

Article Abstract:

Zetters is a UK company which operates pools, and its business has been affected by the UK National Lottery. The company has seen a drop of 9% in takings from pools, which is less than some larger competitors. The problem may intensify since new ventures are being set up in imitation of the lottery, following the lottery's success. Zetters does not have funds to compete in terms of marketing with larger rivals. The company's pre-tax profit is forecast at 1 million pounds sterling for 1996.
