TwinSpires.com to offer Sweden's V75 and V86 bets

TwinSpires.com, the official advance-deposit wagering service for Churchill

Downs Incorporated, is partnering with ATG, the official provider of pari-mutuel

wagering on Swedish horse racing, to offer TwinSpires.com players the

opportunity to wager into ATG's popular and lucrative V75 and V86 betting pools.

Offered every Saturday, the V75 is a 10-cent Pick 7 wager held on seven

Swedish trotting races and pays to tickets with 7, 6 and 5 winners. Popular with

racing fans in Sweden and across Europe, the V75 has become one of the largest

betting pools in the world, with an average handle of $11 million (USD). On

carryover, or "Jackpot" days, the V75 pool can swell to $20 million or more. It

recorded a record payout of $9.4 million on February 27, 2010.

Offered every Wednesday, the V86 is a Pick 8 wager that can be played for as

little as a nickel. Despite its ultra-low minimum, the total pool averages $2.5

million a week. It pays to tickets with 8, 7 and 6 winners and the total pool

can approach $4 million on carryover days.

"TwinSpires.com is proud to offer the V75 and V86 to our players,"

TwinSpires.com Vice President of Marketing Jeremy Clemons said. "We are excited

that every Saturday one of our players could turn a dime bet into a

multimillion-dollar score."

"As ATG continues to expand the distribution of its betting products in North

America, we recognize the value that TwinSpires and Churchill Downs offer, as

brand leaders in online wagering and horse racing in the United States," ATG

Sales and Marketing Director Kent Öhlander said. "We are excited to partner with

them to offer the V75 and V86, and introduce a new audience to the excitement of

Swedish racing on a year-round basis."
