Paddy Power Launches London European Poker Tour Betting Market

As poker betting booms Irish bookie broadens markets on EPT with two London EPT markets and four Barcelona markets.

(PRWEB) September 7, 2006 -- Paddy Power today launches ‘outright betting’ and ‘to make final table’ betting for the London leg of the European Poker Tour (EPT), Victoria Casino, 21-24 September 2006.

It also opens a further four markets for the Barcelona leg of the EPT - ‘group betting’, ‘highest finishing group,’ ‘female to make the final table’ and Irish to make final table.’

The Barcelona EPT event, held in Casino Barcelona from 13-16 September, is one of the most popular on the tour, selling out last year and increasing its capacity to 480 this year.

This follows on from last week’s Barcelona ‘outright betting’ and ‘to make final table’ markets.
