LAS VEGAS — Winners, Inc. subsidiary VegasWINNERS Inc., which provides sports betting enthusiasts with high quality analysis, research, data, guidance and professional advice, announces it will be launching an exclusive video podcast on its site this quarter featuring company CEO “The King of Vegas Sports Handicapping” Wayne Allyn Root, former Baywatch star Angelica Bridges, and other to be named celebrity hosts and handicapping experts.
The interactive video podcast will give audiences an insider’s view on the fascinating worlds of sports, entertainment, and sports wagering.
Guests will include a who’s who from the big screen to the grid iron; from the concert stage to the hardwood.
“No video podcast built around the sports betting industry gives its audience the combined insights and behind-the-scenes conversations from sports stars and celebrities that Angelica and I will provide,” said VegasWINNERS founder and CEO Wayne Allyn Root. “With our combined contacts of A-List athletes, actors and sports betting personalities you can bet (pun intended) we’re bringing something unique and unforgettable to every show. In addition, Angelica brings an exclusive blend of on-camera experience, select access to celebrities, and a life-long passion for sports.”
For many years Wayne Allyn Root hosted a football handicapping show on major national cable TV networks called “The Winning Edge”, which featured stars such as NFL Hall of Famers and Super Bowl champions Randy White of the Dallas Cowboys, John Riggins of the Washington Redskins and Dan Hampton of the Chicago Bears. The VegasWINNERS video podcast will take it a step further, covering all sports all year, providing its audience with online betting guidance year-round.
Model, actress, singer and long-time sports fan Angelica played “Taylor Welsh” on Baywatch, one of the most watched television shows in the world with an estimated weekly audience of over one billion viewers.
Angelica was the team captain of the Lingerie Football League’s “Las Vegas Sin” franchise and served as a sideline commentator for the league.
“I’ve been a sports fan my entire life. It’s something I’ve been passionate about and have been around for a long time,” said Angelica, former star of The Luxor Hotel and Casino show “Fantasy” in Las Vegas. “To co-host this show alongside a Vegas legend and one of America’s great sports wagering minds is a dream job. Together we’re going to give our audience access to many of today’s hottest stars and athletes with lively conversations you won’t hear anywhere else.”
The popularity of podcasts has exploded in recent years – according to Nielsen, 55% of the U.S. population has viewed or heard a podcast, up from 51% just two years ago.
And the rise of video platforms shows that today’s consumers have an emotional draw to videos and are the present and the future of the internet where content is king.
In addition to providing its audience with online wagering advice, unmatched celebrity insights and conversations, the VegasWINNERS video podcast will drive more traffic to its site and provide the company with an additional revenue stream – the fourth annual IAB Podcast Advertising Revenue Report prepared by PwC, shows that U.S. podcast advertising revenues near $1 billion in 2020.
