- Tuesday, 2 Aug 2005
With the Triple Crown just around the corner, online gambling and sports betting portal, Sports 911 is planning massive coverage of all three horse races at the Kentucky Derby. Sports 911 is touting the Triple Crown as the jewel in an otherwise drab wagering season.
"Let's face it, horse racing is one of those sports that is unashamedly built around betting," said Thomas Jensen, Marketing Director for Sports 911. "The three races that comprise the Triple Crown bring out just about every horse bettor. It's their equivalent of March Madness and having the ability to bet online helps generate even more revenue for the (gambling) industry".
Traditionally, only a few offshore sportsbooks offered horse racing odds throughout the year and those that did required customers to bet via the phone. Today, many of the top software platforms allow gamblers to bet the races over the internet. | |
