Is there anything more annoying to a bettor than listening to the track announcer sing the praises of a horse going on to win, while the horse you bet on has backed out and is finishing up last?? Well Beat the Announcer is the new way for you to take out your aggressions on Portland Meadows track announcer Jason Beem and hit him where it hurts……His Wallet!!!
Portland Meadows and their Network of Off-Track Betting sites are teaming up to bring you a new contest where players can win hundreds in cash and prizes simply by out handicapping Jason Beem. The game is simple really. Go to any of the OTB parties that will be going on all summer long all around the state, enter your name and join in the fun. It’s free to sign up and all OTB patrons are invited to play. If your name is drawn, then you will pick a horse for that designated race. Jason will then pick a horse, and if your horse finishes ahead of his, then you win a $20 Cash Voucher!! It’s that simple, your horse doesn’t even have to win, it just has to Beat the Announcer’s pick.
But it doesn’t stop there. If you win that first race, you’ll move on to the second race, where if your pick Beat’s the Announcer’s pick, your voucher will go up to $30. Then you’ll move onto a third race, where if again your pick Beat’s the Announcer’s pick, your voucher will now be worth $50!!
Finally if you are able to Beat The Announcer four straight races, you will receive a $100 betting voucher! And for your great efforts, we will then draw the names of 10 OTB patrons and give them each a $10 voucher. So your not just playing for yourself, but for all of your horse playing colleagues.
Be sure to check www.portlandmeadows.com as there will be updates on when and where the next Beat the Announcer contest will be. Be sure and join us for the next event, which will be on Saturday May 30, 2009 at the Sky Jockey Sports Bar near Portland International Airport. There will also be a $1,000 Cash Giveaway that day as well!.
