Local football fans can place a bet on Malta's home World Cup qualifier against Hungary tomorrow as it has been included in U*Bet's midweek coupon.

U*Bet, the legalised fixed odds sports gambling, was launched last month by Maltco Lotteries.

Domestic football has been excluded from U*Bet's programmes but since Malta's match against Hungary falls under FIFA's cap, the betting operators have included the fixture in the betting list.

Antoine Gouder, U*Bet Brand Manager, confirmed to The Times yesterday that Malta-Hungary features in today's programme.

Punters have the possibility of gambling on the outcome of the match or they can try their luck at guessing the exact score.

The odds are: 12/1 for a Maltese win, 4.25/1 for a draw and 1.20/1 for a Hungary win. Other odds are offered for a variety of outcomes.

A brave punter could net Lm150 for every lira gambled if Malta beat Hungary 4-3!
