- Sunday, 25 Sep 2005
Reality TV is a relatively new genre of television which has swept viewers all over the world. It has changed our lives in more ways than you can imagine. Aside from making a mark on popular culture, reality TV has also added a lot to our gambling culture. People get so involved and caught up watching these shows. One of the ways that it has manifested itself is through online gambling. People from all over the world are casting their votes on who they think will win at online gambling sites all over the web.
Each week, the viewers gather in their very own virtual tribal council and vote on who gets to stay. This virtual tribunal is a lot similar to the one you see on Survivo, only instead of voting contestants out, viewers are gambling on who they thing will win. A popular destination for reality TV fans is Sportsbook, an online gambling site that features online casino games in addition to other forms of online gambling, which include gambling on reality TV shows. This season’s most anticipated shows are “Survivor: Guatemala”, and “The Amazing Race 8”.
Alex Czajkowski, Marketing Director of the online gambling site says, “Gambling on the shows gives fans a chance to get more directly involved in their favorite programs. It really adds to the excitement of Reality TV”. Czajkowski added, “Reality TV has been an unbelievable success for our online gambling site. Judging from the volume of bets we took in last year, it's clear that fans of reality TV love to bet on the outcome of the shows”.
