New betting features
"Since the launch of horse racing at bwin.com in October 2010 we have continuously extended our racing programme. The enhancement with high quality races from the UK and Ireland is the next logical step and will also lead to a higher number of betting options for our users”, says Stefan Wukovitsch, Section Head Sports Products at bwin.party digital entertainment.

To coincide with the addition of British and Irish races, bwin.com is adding new features such as “Quick Tip” which is designed to help less experienced customers select the horse and bet with the highest probability of winning.
