Toronto, October 6 - Woodbine Entertainment Group (WEG) today announced that beginning this Friday, October 7, it will now offer 20-cent minimum bets for the Pick-4 and Superfecta to its loyal and expanding fan base in the United States.
Canadians have had access to fractional wagers on racing from Woodbine and Mohawk since 2005.
"One of the reasons we've seen increased pool size in the Pick-4 and Superfecta is the introduction of the 20-cent minimum bet," said Greg Martin, WEG’s Director of Wagering Operations. "We're pleased to now be able to offer this to our customers in the United States. The American racing fan has shown interest in fractional bet offerings, so we worked hard to accommodate them."
The Canadian Pari-Mutuel Agency and AmTote International were key partners with WEG in the development of the standards and software of the innovative foreign fractional wagering concept.
"The 20-cent base bet allows U.S. horse players another strategy option previously offered to only Canadian bettors," said Martin.
The change is offered across all tote systems in the U.S., therefore available to Americans playing Woodbine-hosted pools, which include the current live Standardbred and Thoroughbred meets at Woodbine, the Mohawk summer meet and the simulcasts of racing from Australia.
