Betfred Sports and digital sports media company The Game Day have announced the sportsbook’s sponsorship of two of The Game Day’s flagship NFL Shows, Take the Points and Ride With. These series will lead The Game Day’s full weekly lineup of NFL content and programming throughout the 2021-22 NFL Season.

Take The Points, The Game Day’s weekly betting debate show will be hosted by sports gambling expert and analyst Jordan Schultz. Ride With takes viewers to the stadiums for the biggest game of the week as host Katie Mox places her best bets and finds out if the fans are “riding with” or fading their picks.

“We’re thrilled to announce this sponsorship deal with Betfred Sports, which further strengthens our lineup of marquee brand partners. Over the past year, The Game Day has seen significant growth in what’s become a highly engaged sports fan base, as we continue to look to service everyone from casual bettors through to the most knowledgeable gamblers. We’re pleased that this in turn has driven demonstrable engagement and ROI for our affiliate partners,” Matt Heiman, Founder and CEO of The Game Day, said.

“This is a great brand to partner with to build on our momentum in the U.S. market. Acquisition marketing is critical to the success of this operation, and we are confident that the The Game Day partnership can strengthen our efforts,” Bryan Bennett, COO of Betfred Sports, said.

Betfred Sports has signed an agreement with Long Shot’s of Frederick, Maryland to bring retail and online sports betting to Maryland pending regulatory approval.

A temporary retail sportsbook will be adjacent to the Maryland Jockey Club’s OTB within Long Shot’s for the 2022 football season. A permanent, 8800 square foot, state-of-the-art sportsbook with a video wall and comfortable theater-style seating will open just after the first of the year. A robust food and beverage menu will also be available. Online betting will be launched when formally allowed by state regulators.

“We were at the forefront of bringing sports betting to Maryland and specifically to Frederick. We are thrilled to open a sportsbook at Long Shot’s in partnership with Betfred Sports. We are proud that Long Shot’s is one of the premier off-track betting locations in the State and we look forward to achieving similar success with sports wagering. Long Shot’s will not only boost the local economy but contribute to enhancing the education of our students,” Long Shot’s CEO Alyse Cohen said.

“We identified Long Shot’s very early when searching for a Maryland partner. When combining Betfred’s 50 years of bookmaking experience and Long Shot’s success with off-track betting, we believe this will be a formidable partnership to compete in the Maryland sports betting space,” Bryan Bennett, Chief Operating Officer at Betfred Sports, said.
