M Resort Spa Casino Now Offering ‘Favorite Versus Field’ Wager on Selected Horse Races
LAS VEGAS-(Business Wire)-August 27, 2009 - M Resort Spa Casino has announced the addition of a unique new bet in its Race and Sports Book. Customers can now place a bet on whether they think the morning line favorite will come home first, or if they think any of the other horses in the field will win - a bet which is only available at the M Resort.
Lou D’Amico, Director of the M’s Race and Sports book said: “We have been running this bet for a number of weeks during some of the major races at Saratoga and Del Mar and it has been very well received by our guests. Moving forward, we plan to offer the opportunity to bet the favorite versus the field at premier race tracks such as Santa Anita, Belmont and others.”
All lines at the M Resort Race and Sports book are set by Mr. D’Amico. Throughout the wagering world, he has established an unparalleled reputation as one of the true innovators in the race and sports book business. For over 30 years he has worked at premier casino properties in Las Vegas including the Dunes, the Las Vegas Hilton and Caesars Palace, where he served as Vice President of the Race and Sports Book for seven years. Mr. D’Amico is probably best known for his knowledge of horse racing, and his Kentucky Future Book lines and propositions have become Industry standards.
“With the help of Cantor Gaming, our Race and Sports Book continues to push the sports book business forward. Sports bettors can find unique wagering selections here that can’t be found anywhere else, like favorite vs. the field and in-running. We’ve received tremendous interest in our sports book from guests and we couldn’t be more pleased,” said Joseph A. Magliarditi, COO and Executive Vice President at M Resort.
