BETRESCUE SPONSOR TWENTY20 CHAMPIONS

LEICESTERSHIRE County Cricket Club have clinched a unique Club Sponsorship agreement with Betrescue.com for the forthcoming season which gives members and supporters a winning chance to play their part in creating a new revenue stream at Grace Road.

Whilst Betrescue.com will be backing the Twenty20 Cup holders in a substantial five-figure deal for the 2007 season, they are offering the Club’s followers the opportunity to generate vital income through having a ‘flutter’ via the newly-launched Leicestershire website.

“This is a fantastic sponsorship deal in which the Club and our loyal followers can be winners all round,” said Chief Executive Paul Maylard-Mason.

He added: “If you fancy having a bet on us winning the Twenty20 Cup again, HD Ackerman being the leading runscorer in the Second Division of the Championship or indeed anything sports-related, then using Betrescue's free bets and odds comparisons services can only add to your enjoyment.

One of the UK's leading providers of betting information, Betrescue.com specialises in providing punters with the best odds available from their partner bookmakers , such as William Hill, Ladbrokes and Coral, whilst also offering numerous free bet promotions for their users. The firm are also publishers of ANTEPOST, the UK's largest circulating sports betting monthly magazine and they are very much focused on the big days in the sporting calendar. The strong emphasis of their association with Leicestershire fits well with our campaign to make the ‘big days bigger’ here at Grace Road.”

Jonathan Shepherd, Managing Director of Betrescue Ltd, commented: “As a rapidly expanding company in the sports betting business, we are delighted to be associated with a club that has such a proud tradition and a fantastic record in the Twenty20 Cup. Certainly, the interest in this competition has helped to reinvigorate betting on cricket.”
