Playing to Win picks now at Youbet.com

April 10, 2007

Last week, Youbet.com, took its first step into unique programming when it launched its Playing to Win online gambling promo. Host Andy Serling and guest handicapper Mike Watchmaker dueled on the show's Pro's Picks piece with Watchmaker quoting his picks for the eventual winners in the Wood Memorial and the Illinois Derby.

Serling promised to wear a dunce cap if Countdown Cat won in Illinois, a vow that he will make good on this Friday at Youbet.com. Both handicappers got sidelined from winning when 29 to 1 Tiago won the Santa Anita Derby, so this latest prediction and lighthearted bet should be interesting to many online gambling sports fanatics.

Playing to Win is the new half hour horse race handicapping series that airs live at Youbet's website each Friday. The new online site’s series is being presented by the Daily Racing Form and features top DRF handicappers including Mike Watchmaker and more. If you miss the Friday show – you can catch the repeats that are available online right after each original airing.

For the next week's show, the guest handicapper is Andy Beyer. In addition to online gambling sports fan interest, the show is likely to appeal to Youbet's track partners as perspective and other information comes online.

The whole deal really appeals to a young crowd too. Playing to Win is another example of how we hope to increased loyalty to the site’s brand by using the latest broadcast technology to improve the online experience of many online casino sports wagers and other fans.
