Youbet.com
from the bookies-online dept
Story about You Bet, who recently changed their name to youbet.com (how creative) and want to be the online source for horse race betting. Interesting article in that it discusses all of the hurdles and obstacles they might face. It's amusing how they deflect each one with a simple "that won't happen" or "that'll go away". Funniest part, though was a misread on my part. The first quote starts out "As Amazon.com did for the world of books...". And I thought it was going to end "... youbet.com wants to do for the world of bookies" but that didn't happen. Oh well.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
