Sportsbook.com Posts Betting Lines On Philadelphia's Wachovia USPRO Championship

PHILADELPHIA, PA (May 31st, 2004)- In what is a first for U.S. professional road cycling, Sportsbook.com is posting betting lines on Philadelphia's Wachovia USPRO Championship, which takes place on Sunday, June 6th.

Already involved in U.S. bicycle racing via the title sponsorship of a women's team and additional sponsorships of Pro/Elite Men's teams Sharper Image/Mathis Brothers and Team Endeavour, Sportsbook.com is very enthusiastic about this new venture. Speaking for the Carribean-based online bookmaker & casino, Bill Laudien of Sportsbook.com Cycling notes that, "with the Wachovia USPRO Championship celebrating its 20th anniversary, this is an ideal time for Sportsbook.com to begin posting odds on a true American classic."

There are odds posted for 18 top racers, ranging from perennial contenders like Webcor Construction's Chris Horner (7:2) to well-regarded longshots such as John Lieswyn of Health Net presented by Maxxis (30:1). Bettors can also choose to go with the relatively safe 'Field/All Other Cyclists' wager, which has odds of 2:1.

In addition to posting betting lines on the Wachovia USPRO Championship, Sportsbook.com has a line on the upcoming Tour de France, with Lance Armstrong the odds-on favorite to take a record sixth victory. Sportsbook.com is also running a free contest in conjunction with the Wachovia USPRO Championship, in which individuals try to pick the top three finishers in the Philadelphia race for a $1,000 prize. The contest goes 'live' on Tuesday, June 1st.
