What is the meaning of the simile eyes as wide as a football pool?

The football pools are a type of gambling akin to a lottery, however the gambler would be trying to guess the scores of football games instead of random numbers.
Like a lottery various amounts of money could be won, even as much as a £million when the pool was run by a large company, such as Vernons.
If you think of all the people entering the National Lottery as pooling their money together to make large prizes, you get the picture. Similarly many people pooled their money together and did the football pools every week.
