Voxbet software allows sports bettors to securely and accurately bet via natural-language voice and text, making it fast and easy to place even the most complex bets. Marmion’s new role follows hard on the heels of Andrew Lee’s appointment as Chairman, highlighting Voxbet’s global vision to capitalize on its transformational technology, improving the user experience for every generation of bettor along the way.

Voxbet founder and CEO, Jonathan Power, said: “Ian is an experienced operator and supremely well-credentialed in developing and optimizing industry-leading digital products. He is a blisteringly clear communicator, with excellent business relationship management skills. We’re confident his appointment will assist us in achieving our goals, underscored by his sharp strategic focus around the online customer experience, data and innovation. Needless to say, Ian brings significant value to our leadership team, as we look to improve market share across Europe, and prepare ourselves for rapid expansion on both sides of the pond.”

Ian Marmion, Director at Voxbet, added: “I am thrilled to become more involved with the Voxbet team at such an exciting time having been an investor for many years. I am a massive believer in the transformative effect that new technology can have on the sports betting business. Operators have been doing the same thing for too long. Voxbet now allows bettors to engage with sports betting the way they already engage with almost everything else online – and that journey begins with speaking or typing what you want. We let operators broaden their reach and make betting more convenient, simpler and faster – providing an overall richer customer experience.

“Voxbet’s unique tools connect with all types of bettors, from the seasoned expert to the novice. Accordingly, whether on or off-platform, we’ve become an essential tool for operators in today’s messaging-app-centered world. Thanks to the expertise developed from the machine-learning of millions of bets per month, through apps such as Viber and Telegram as well as SMS, Voxbet understands what a customer wants to bet on, via messages both written or spoken, and then securely places the bet on behalf of the customer.

“Today, we’re closer than ever to marrying human senses with machine learning to enable truly personalized virtual shopping. It’s the same with betting. And our artificial intelligence is driven by similar data processing. So the more data we can harvest, the smarter our system becomes.

With summer fast approaching, the Plaza Hotel & Casino is bringing back Las Vegas’ only all-inclusive hotel room package starting June 1 at $125 per person per night.

The Plaza introduced its all-inclusive hotel room package last summer. It was so well received by guests that the iconic downtown Las Vegas property is bringing the all-inclusive offer back and extending it for all of June, July and August.

“At a time when tourists are concerned about increasing costs in Las Vegas, including resort fees and paying to park, we wanted to give our guests a more affordable summer vacation option by again offering our all-inclusive hotel room package,” said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino.

The Plaza’ all-inclusive hotel room package waives all resort fees. Guests will enjoy free access to the fitness center, rooftop pool, and self-parking. The package also includes bottomless drinks from the Omaha Bar and Sports Book Bar on the casino floor and breakfast and dinner from various dining outlets.

With free access to the rooftop pool, guests can also enjoy the pool’s new amenities including:

History tells fans to expect goldmine of goals on last day of Prem season

Football fans can expect goals galore on the final day of the Premier League season, according to historical data. 

The final round of top-flight matches – gameweek 38 – take place on Sunday with 10 games all kicking off at the same time.

It’s a big day for bookies with all 20 teams in action and the both teams to score (BTTS) accumulator is a popular bet for supporters on the final day as goals fly in at both ends.

And now stats compiled by UK sportsbook Midnite highlight the facts behind the last-day blow out.

Midnite looked at stats since the Premier League became a 20-team division in 1995-96 to compare gameweek 38 with the averages from gameweeks 1 to 37 and found:

  • A 14.5% increase in goals per game

  • A 10.7% increase games where both teams score

  • A 7.3% increase in over 1.5 goals

  • A 15.9% increase in over 2.5% goals

  • A 30.1% increase in over 3.5 goals

  • A 13.3% increase in home wins

  • An 18.2% decrease in draws

A 15-year scoring streak

In 24 of the past 29 seasons – 82.8% – gameweek 38 has produced more goals than the average produced in previous gameweeks.

For the past 15 consecutive seasons, there have been more goals per game in the final gameweek than the goals per game stat throughout the season.

And for the past nine seasons, there have been more than three goals per game in gameweek 38.

This season so far, there’s been an average of 2.95 goals per game, so we would expect to see more than that in Gameweek 38.

The historical average tells us to expect a 14.5% increase – therefore a prediction of 3.38 goals per game on Sunday.

Last season saw a record 3.28 goals per game and was the first Premier League season to be higher than 3 goals per game.

In fact the last time we saw a top division of English Football have back-to-back seasons with more than 3 goals per game as an average was the 1966/1967 and 1967/1968 seasons.

We are unlikely to see that again as so far we have 1091 goals, to reach a season average of 3.00 we would need to see a total of 1,140 goals, so 49 goals would be needed on the final day, which would be 4.9 goals per game which would be highly unlikely.

The handbrakes are off

Midnite VP of Sportsbook Zach Amin said: “The last gameweek of the season often has a more open, unpredictable feel to it.

“A mixture of teams playing with the handbrake off and teams desperate for points to win the title, qualify for Europe or avoid relegation, usually makes for great entertainment.

“Although this season, the title and relegation are already sewn up, there’s still teams vying for European places and, as the historical data shows us, fans can look forward to goals galore.”
