BWIN HORSE RACING ODDS with new added TRACKS & Tips

Posted on September 7, 2011 by OGA

Following the launch of the company’s horse race betting offering last October, online gaming operator bwin has now added a further eighty-five racetracks from the UK and Ireland to its line-up of horse racing events.

bwin has expanded its horse racing offering with the addition of 60 UK and 25 Irish race tracks to its horse racing line-up. As a result, more than 13,300 additional races a year including classic events such as Royal Ascot, the Cheltenham Festival and the Grand National will now be available for customers to bet on at bwin.com.

bwin customers will also be able to watch live video streaming of horse races from tracks in Germany, South Africa, Sweden, U.S and other countries on a daily basis, although UK and Ireland live video streams are not available in UK and Ireland. The company said that all races are supported with background information, expert tips, statistics and live video streaming coverage.

“Since the launch of horse racing at bwin.com in October 2010 we have continuously extended our racing programme,” said Stefan Wukovitsch, Section Head Sports Products at bwin.party digital entertainment. “The enhancement with high quality races from the UK and Ireland is the next logical step and will also lead to a higher number of betting options for our users.”

To coincide with the addition of British and Irish races, bwin.com is adding new features such as “Quick Tip” which is designed to help less experienced customers select the horse and bet with the highest probability of winning.
