London, UK – 6th December, 2007 – BetUknow today unveiled its fantasy football betting community (www.betuknow.co.uk), where football fans can predict winning teams and correct scores and can win prizes in the form of Amazon UK vouchers by placing fantasy bets on all the fixtures from the Barclaycard Premiership, UEFA Champions League and Euro 2008.
Signing up is simple and free and each person that joins the community receives a weekly allowance of 1000 virtual pounds which is used to place bets on all upcoming games, at the latest odds from leading bookies, including William Hill, BWIN and Ladbrokes.
Member bets, results and performances are tracked and stored on users private pages so that they can monitor their prediction achievements or losses. All members’ bets unite to develop community graphs and statistics, building a unique fans community. Members can also invite friends and family and build a private ‘Fantasy-League’ to share results and determine who’s best at predicting match results. It’s not all just for fun; there’s a fan league table where the member who has gained the most virtual pounds by the end of the month can win £250 worth of Amazon UK Gift Certificates. This December, BetUknow members would win a total of £1000 worth of gifts and one lucky winner will take home a Nintendo Wii.
Zohar Alon, CEO BetUknow said, “The power of mass prediction is far greater than that of a single individual. We wanted to build a site where football fans can record predications and prove to their mates that they can predict results better than them. Additionally, members can track their own performance and discover where they produce good returns and when they should avoid future fantasy and real bets. It brings a lot of fun and excitement to the weekly football fixtures and gives users the thrill of betting on matches cost free.”
“Through the intelligent back-office of the site, we’re able to tell which team fans are the most successful at making predictions. For instance, despite the team’s under achievements on the pitch, Newcastle United can rest assured that its fans are currently sitting pretty at the top of the BetUknow prediction league table with the highest winning average, whereas Blackburn Rovers fans are propping up the table with the worst predictions.”
“Over the coming months as we build upon the site, we’re going to add regular fan polls, so members can predict more than just the football results, such as who will be the next England manager or will England be granted the opportunity to host the World Cup.” concluded Alon.
One member who’s already enjoying BetUknow emailed the team and said, “I play a number of different virtual betting games but I must say that yours’ is by far the best. It is simple to navigate the site, has clear rules and no ‘grey areas’ to dispute.”
If you think Derby County can overcome the in-form Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday or if you’re confident that Chelsea will beat Sunderland, sign-up to BetUknow today for FREE at www.betuknow.co.uk and start challenging your mates on this weekend’s Premiership matches.
