 NEWS FROM THE STANDARD
And They're Off!

 PROFILE
Youbet.com lets its customers watch and play the ponies nationwide. Its You Bet Network facilitates online wagering on horse races in most US states and Canada. Charging a flat monthly fee and a portion of each bet, Youbet.com lets customers place bets via a server in Pennsylvania, where betting on horse races over state lines is legal. Ladbroke, a Hilton Group subsidiary licensed to accept wagers, places the actual bets at 61 tracks. The firm paid a $1.3 million settlement and agreed not to accept bets from California residents. In 2001 the firm struck an important deal with Gemstar-TV Guide in which Youbet.com users can place wagers on races broadcast on TVG Network's horse racing channel. The deal also gives Gemstar warrants to purchase up about 19% of Youbet.com.
