Best Answer

Littlewoods had always provided both football pools and retail products; however, they buckled under the competition of the UK lottery, and the betting division was sold to Sportech in 2000. They began to focus solely on retail products instead, but slowly failed and were merged with the Kay Catalogues company in 2006.
