Unique Version of WSOP Main Event Scheduled for December

At long last, the 2020 WSOP Main Event has been finalized, but the world championship of poker is going to look significantly different this year. Despite COVID-19, players from all around the world will have an opportunity to compete.

The annual summer bracelet series in Las Vegas was canceled due to the global health pandemic. Instead, organizers for the event ran an online bracelet series mixed between WSOP.com and GGPoker. They even hosted a Main Event which set an online poker record with over $27 million in the prize pool.

But few considered Stoyan Madanzhiev, the winner of that event on GGPoker, the true world champion. Ty Stewart, the WSOP’s executive director, said in a press release Friday that, “there must be a world champion in 2020.” So, on Nov. 29, the quest for the 2020 WSOP Main Event champion begins on the GGPoker poker site. And it will end Dec. 30 at the Rio, in front of a live television audience.

In lieu of returning to The Bahamas in 2021 (hopefully), Partypoker recently announced a digital alternative. Picking up where the WPT and other online events left off, the Caribbean Poker Party was given a $10 million guarantee.

The final list of events was confirmed earlier this week and kicking things off today is the opening flight of the $500,000 Progressive Knockout (PKO) showdown.

Modernising the Great Race – Why horse racing has to change

Horse Racing has always been known as the ‘Sport of Kings’. Once the great betting experience for the noble and the affluent, however, horse racing today exists as a sport anyone can access within a few seconds via their smartphone.  

Despite this fact, many of the processes and experiences around horse racing has been overtaken by other sports. From in-play betting on elite soccer in Europe to spreadbetting and Fantasy Sports on the NFL, in some senses, horse racing has been passed on the inside straight.  

That is, until now – and 1/ST Bet.  

1/ST Bet is a fully integrated mobile application and website that help sportsbettors weigh up horse racing statistics with real-time data to make a more informed decision on their investments. But they’re so much more than that, too. They’re a link to horse racing’s glorious past but also act as a conduit to its future, modernizing and revolutionizing the sport for new bettors, whether those are at the racetrack or not.
