Section 1
49s Ltd
Who we are 01

49s Ltd is the betting industry organisation responsible for supplying Fixed Odds
Numbers Betting events to over 9,000 Licensed Betting Shops (LBOs) in the
UK and Ireland.
The organisation was formed in 1996 as a direct response to the launch of the
UK National Lottery which started the previous year. The betting industry analysed
the new phenomenon of mass fascination with numbers based betting and a
strategic decision was made to introduce new products and services which
opened up a new betting market for the industry. Current products offered by
49s Ltd are 49s, Rapido, Irish Lotto Bet, Virtual Horse Racing and Virtual Greyhound
Racing.
49s Ltd is funded by LBOs who subscribe to SIS (Satellite Information Systems)
which broadcasts the daily racing programme into their shops. As a result all
marketing materials must be relevant to the whole industry.
A short chronology of 49s Ltd can be found in Appendix I.

49s is a draw that takes place twice daily (lunchtime
at 12:49 and teatime) on SIS. Six balls plus a Booster

described as 49ers.

49s Ltd B rand M anual


Irish Lotto Bet: our product 11

What is it?
The Irish Lotto Bet is based on the outcome of the Irish National Lotto which is drawn in Ireland every Wednesday
and Saturday and shown on RTE. There are three draws each evening, a Main, 2nd and 3rd draw. Six Balls plus
a Bonus Ball are drawn from balls marked 1-42. The draw is not broadcast on SIS but results are available from
a number of sources (see Useful contact details in Appendix 2). As it would not be appropriate to call the product
The Irish Lotto Bet in Ireland, it is known as Lucky Numbers in both Northern and Southern Ireland.

Terminology
It should not be called Irish Lotto but always Irish Lotto Bet. This differentiates it from the Irish Lotto Draw. Irish
Lotto Bet was known as the Irish Lottery Bet until July 2002. The abbreviation ILB is occasionally used when
the product is described more than once in certain marketing material e.g. staff communications.

Virtual Racing: our product 28

Product
Virtual Racing is a computer generated presentation of a random
number draw in which each number is represented by a different
horse or greyhound. The first number generated decides which
runner wins the race, followed by which ones are placed and the
rest of the finishing order. All runners have fixed odds which reflect
their chance of winning. The races are broadcast daily on SIS in real
time and with live commentary. There are 3 Virtual Horse Racing
tracks Portman Park (flat) and Steepledowns (hurdles) which are
broadcast on alternate days and Sprint Valley broadcast everyday.
There are also two Virtual Greyhound Racing tracks Millersfield and
Brushwood (hurdles) also broadcast on alternate days.

Betting
The runners are printed in the Betting Shop Display Sheet version
of the Racing Post which is displayed in betting shops and customers
can bet on each race as they do on real horse racing or real greyhound
racing.

Terminology
Virtual Horse Racing and Virtual Greyhound Racing are occasionally
shortened to VHR and VGR respectively in certain marketing material
