Gambling911.com, the world’s leader in online wagering news pertaining to sports, amusement and the political landscape, has proclaimed a new weekly program whereby one (and quite perhaps more) online casino or sports wagering portals will be selected for their innovative proposing over the past seven days.
Though the new program entrances this week with WagerWeb.com winning this prize for the period April 1 through April 8 for its offering of betting odds on the outcome of an supposed rape case involving Duke Lacrosse gamblers, BetUS.com formally turns out the first to be named “Most Innovative” for the period March 24 through March 31.
“We wanted to begin this campaign by honoring BetUS.com on its highly successful public relations offering related to a scandal surrounding pop artist Whitney Houston and her alleged drug problem,” had to comment Payton O’Brien, columnist for Gambling911.com. “The Whitney Houston story first surfaced in the National Enquirer and, while her publicist has yet to respond to these reports, BetUS.com offered Ms. Houston an all-expense paid drug rehabilitation program in beautiful sunny Costa Rica. The results were extensive media attention to the online sports book and record breaking traffic to the Gambling911.com web site.”
The just thing lacking in the BetUS.com campaign were real wagering odds on Whitney Houston.
“Perhaps they deemed this in bad taste,” O’Brien stated.
That story carries on illustrating heavy traffic to Gambling911.com.
This week, Gambling911.com honors WagerWeb.com for its novel idea of proposing wagering odds on the future DNA results for Duke University Lacrosse team members who are supposed to have been involved in an off-campus rape. The Duke Lacrosse rape scandal has been one of the most talked about stories in the world of sports over these past two weeks, and the DNA results are yet to be proclaimed.
“Some two dozen web sites picked up the story involving Wagerweb.com’s odds on the DNA results,” stated Christopher Costigan, Founder and President of Gambling911.com. “It is one of the more controversial stories featured on our web site but it is also an interesting angle that has undoubtedly drawn significant attention. We’ve had numerous inquiries from our readers who want to bet on this case.”
The Award has been given the title “The Gambling911.com Traffic Award” alluding to the amount of readership stemming from an online casino or sports book’s innovative campaign. The logo features an animated traffic cop.
It should be pointed out that all online gambling entities are entitled for this weekly prize despite of whether or not they emerge as authorized sponsors on the Gambling911.com web site. Actually, another online casino that does not promote with Gambling911 almost beat out BetUS.com for its unique public relations feature that included pop star Britney Spears.
Gambling911.com more than welcomes submissions from all online casinos and sports books global. The portal does not hearten nonsense the likes of “Joe Blow wins million dollar jackpot” etc… Innovation is the hum word here.
