The Guardian World reports: President’s ‘hard, drastic and necessary measure’, likely to attract widespread public support, polls suggest The Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva , has signed an order banning fixed-odds sports betting just over a week before the first round of the presidential election, in a move he said was designed to tackle the pervasive problem of families falling into debt.
