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.”
