How To Bet Podcast Back and Better Than Ever

HowToBet.com

Have you learned about How To Bet yet? With well over six-figure views, so many people have already been a part of the How To Bet phenomenon, as show hosts Daryl Fein and Sean “The Genius” Miller took the National Football League and NCAA College Football by storm in the second half of 2021 and into 2022. But football is over (well, the USFL is back, but more on that in later releases), and now is the most exciting time of the year for college hoops fans. March Madness is upon us! As hot as the dynamic duo were during football season, helping bettors pick winners at an almost absurd rate, there was no way they were going to let fans and bettors down by NOT showing up for this frenetic three-week run of games. So, the How To Bet podcast is back, and it is better than ever. There will be two shows weekly: one to pick the Thursday-Friday games in the first round and Sweet 16, and another to pick the Saturday-Sunday contests in the Round of 32 and Elite Eight, plus one for the Final Four and one for the NCAA Championship Game, which will be played April 4 at at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, LA. There are a few changes, though, to the format: there is a new face that will be on your screen–Nery Rodriguez– and the second show each week is going to be LIVE. That is correct: How To Bet is going live once a week, to help get bettors up-to-date information in their quest to beat the bookies. To say that the hosts are excited might be an understatement. “The fall and winter were great,” Miller said. “I thought the format was good for the NFL games. But this is different: you obviously need to see which teams win on Thursday and Friday to be able to pick games on the weekend. You can’t project. “Some of these other shows are taping one show for the week, and that is good for the first two nights–the First Round and the Sweet 16, as well as the Final Four semifinals–but what about those other games? They offer value to bettors, and we thought about how we could make it better for them. Live shows seemed to be the way to go, and now, we get to talk about March Madness twice a week. “I think it also gives us an opportunity to test some things out for the future. When this works, we know we can go live for UEFA Champions League games, MLB, the NBA playoffs, and down the line. I think this opens up unlimited opportunities for us to get bettors more information.” Miller also spoke about Rodriguez joining the show as both a contributor and director. “I think this new How To Bet revamp might have the best lineup since the Wu Tang Clan last graced the stage,” Miller joked. “Of course, I know Nery from the New Jersey sports betting scene.We both have covered sports in the Garden State for years. I think he will be good to have as a third voice, but his work behind the scenes is where he will shine brightest. Nery has the skills to get the information out there to the bettors very quickly, and that is something that is obviously important during a time-sensitive tournament. “As someone who has been to two Final Fours–2008 in San Antonio, and 2009 in Detroit to see my North Carolina Tarheels win it all–I am very excited to help bettors win some money. I think we were very successful during football, and I expect the same here. I can also see the possibilities down the line, and that is even more exciting. “The How To Bet podcast is ready to take over, and I love that I am a part of it.” You can watch all the shows on the How to Bet YouTube channel. Check out the First Round show now on the channel, and the Sweet 16 episode on Tuesday, March 22. Tune in on Saturday, March 19 and Saturday, March 26, at 9 a.m. for the Round of 32 and Elite Eight live shows.

Gala Bingo

For small to medium sized business the world over, a simple chalkboard has been a simple yet effective marketing trick for a long time. A trick that once was an efficient tool to bring the passers-by into the shop has found new feet with the rise of social media, and is now a serious contender among other marketing methods to win the hearts of the customers. Gala Bingo sees a strong revival of the trend and experts mean that need for an ingenious board is greater than ever. At the same time, chalkboard as an art form is becoming bigger and is increasingly employing full-time artists that dedicate their time to mastering the craft. While more well-established international brands have become known for their marketing campaigns, by taking the puns and wits a step further onto multi-million billboards, small and medium sized businesses can still use the method on a smaller scale to gain traction and attention, both online and offline. Gala Bingo has talked to a number of experts based in the UK, who does the craft for a living to gain new insights and take the temperature on a market that experiences a spring revival as well as new life when businesses world over returns to normal. The results along with ten top tips are presented in a newly published blog post by Gala Bingo and are a great resource for businesses and individuals who want to make a dent virally as well as locally in their area. The list gives advice on how to stay sassy, keep it meta, stay personal and make an emotional connection with visual examples to illustrate. The chalkboard business can also be seen as an interesting measure of our time. David Winter, Marketing Manager of Gala Bingo, says: “The data that Gala Bingo has collected through our own observations online and based on what the experts are saying, have given us unique insights into how to use the method to the best advantage for businesses. It's clear that chalkboard design is both a marketing tool, a reflection of societal changes as well as a fun and easy-going method to convey who you are to your customers. If you can combine these factors, the right level of wittiness together with an eye-catching design, it will result in a cost-effective yet highly efficient marketing tool, with the potential to unlimited reach online.” Hanna Exall, a chalkboard artist based in Stirchley, Birmingham, emphasises the marketing value: “I think a witty sign can really help a business go viral which is a great marketing strategy. Wordplay and original ideas can definitely help it go a long way.” For the full story, please read the full blog here: https://www.galabingo.com/en/p/happy-hub/news/sign-of-the-times Contact Details Gala Bingo Fredrik Kvarnebrink +44 7889 314155 fred@intelligiants.net

SUPER73® unveils groundbreaking C1X moto concept, new kid’s e-bike, updated SUPER73-Z e-bike, and more

SUPER73

Since its inception, California-based SUPER73® has challenged the conventions within the emerging e-bike community and helped expand the perception of personal transportation. The founders never wanted to limit their horizons, establishing the company as an American lifestyle adventure brand specializing in electric motorbikes. And with this mindset, a range of increasingly sophisticated products have emerged from the SUPER73 headquarters in Irvine, CA. Each new model brought a stepped improvement in terms of technology and rider enjoyment, and 2022 will herald a new chapter in the fast-paced SUPER73 story when the biggest expansion plans to date are revealed. SUPER73 is simultaneously announcing the groundbreaking C1X Concept, new entry-level model in the SUPER73-Z Miami, a brand new kid’s bike in the SUPER73 Youth Model, an updated SUPER73-R Brooklyn, plus new colorways for its entire 2022 range. SUPER73-C1X CONCEPT Designed to reformat and redefine the line between e-bike and motorcycle conventions, the C1X is a street-legal concept that will provide a “step-up” vehicle from the current SUPER73 e-bike offerings, elevating adventures by achieving motorcycle performance with dramatically reduced size and weight. Development of the C1X is the direct result of feedback from existing SUPER73 riders, a large percentage of whom expressed interest in graduating to a street-legal motorcycle. The radical SUPER73-C1X Concept represents a significant leap forward in the company’s development program to enable its worldwide band of loyal followers to make a logical transition from the existing SUPER73-RX flagship model. With a targeted top speed of more than 75mph, the production version of the C1X will require a rider to possess a motorcycle endorsement to their driver’s license, vehicle registration and full insurance. However, its 31” seat height and minimal footprint make it highly maneuverable and lightweight, providing an ideal platform for riders wishing to pass the DMV riding test. The SUPER73 design team began its research by studying the current crop of production motorcycles and addressing what prevented them from being accessible to core SUPER73 customers. Among its priorities was a reduction in the overall footprint of a typical motorcycle. This was accomplished with the introduction of 15” wheels versus the 17” motorcycle counterparts. The team also took a revolutionary approach to mounting the motor rearward of the swingarm pivot point. This innovative architecture permitted an ultra-agile 51” wheelbase and removed the chain slack issues experienced with conventional motorcycles. Further enhancing the Concept’s agility is a mass-centralized chassis/battery configuration. The SUPER73-C1X Concept will introduce a fast charging solution that will enable an 80% charge in less than an hour, providing a city range of approximately 100 miles*. The Concept will also have a top speed in excess of 75mph, allowing it to bridge the gap between urban exploration and highway connectivity. With two wheels and its small footprint, C1X leaves the headache of parking to others. Development of the C1X is well underway and SUPER73 is accepting reservations for a late 2023 production date. Reservations for the groundbreaking electric motorbike can be placed for $73. SUPER73 YOUTH SERIES The SUPER73 Youth Series came about because research revealed that a large percentage of existing SUPER73 riders had young families and were looking at ways to transform their riding experience into a family activity. This was particularly apparent during the COVID-19 lock downs, where families were spending extended time together and needed regular “screen breaks” to keep the learning process fresh by creating real world adventures. This model will be a great way for children to get outdoors with the whole family. Forging a new path, the ergonomics of the SUPER73 Youth Series are optimized for children aged from 4-8 years old. A moto-inspired seat and modular foot controls bring a new level of ride comfort and performance for children**. SUPER73 advocates safety gear for all riders, no matter their age. Styling cues for the Youth Series pull from both existing SUPER73 DNA as well as nostalgic BMX frame elements, like the gooseneck and loop tail design. The lightweight aluminum frame provides agility, performance, and can be easily carried by parents. The junior e-bike features stylish fat tires, a removable battery for charging convenience, and in place of pedals, a red twist throttle to clearly communicate the control input to novice riders. "We’re excited to create a new market that will allow families to spend more time together. We know the experience children gain will give them more confidence and independence, helping them to develop and explore their environment. The Youth Series is the first in a number of new products aimed at younger riders, and we hope they will enjoy the freedom our products can bring throughout their lives, no matter what age,” said Michael Cannavo, Co-founder and CMO. The SUPER73 Youth Series is definitely not a toy. It is equipped with a high-quality drivetrain and components that will ensure reliable performance throughout its life. The Youth Series is more than just a kid’s bike; it's their first step into the two-wheeled world of fun and discovery. The SUPER73 Youth Series will be available for reservation from super73.com. Customers can pre-order and secure their place in line with a $100 deposit at the introductory price of $995. SUPER73-Z Miami This new model is an evolution of the iconic Z1, one of SUPER73’s original products. The new SUPER73-Z Miami features an extensive list of significant improvements to refresh the entry-level model, including a lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum-alloy frame with improved ergonomics. Additionally, the Z Miami has been upgraded with a convenient removable battery, allowing more charging options. The model also comes with a new motor that will provide greater performance and the option of pedal assist. The SUPER73-Z Miami has even gained Bluetooth connectivity via the flexible SUPER73 phone app, which enables the user to change rider settings and more. The internally geared brushless DC hub motor is capable of 1200 watts of peak power. Coupled to a durable 615 watt-hour removable battery, the SUPER73-Z Miami is capable of providing more than 30 miles* of range at 20mph under throttle-only operation, or approximately 50 miles* of range using ECO pedal assist mode via the selectable riding modes in the SUPER73 phone app. Additionally, it will be supplied pre-wired for easy installation of optional accessory lighting. The 28” seat height will comfortably accommodate riders between 4’6” - 5’11”. This will allow the vast majority of people to enjoy the new SUPER73-Z Miami, which is a fun and accessible entry point into the world of SUPER73. When it arrives in Spring of 2022, the Z Miami will be available in a fresh range of colors, including Powder Gray, Panthro Blue, Sriracha Red and Prickly Pink. The new model will also be compatible with a wide range of SUPER73 accessories, allowing riders to fully personalize it. SUPER73-R Brooklyn Launched in 2020, the flagship SUPER73-R and RX models have proved hugely popular with riders looking for a versatile electric motorbike that offers full suspension, high-performance disc brakes, a lightweight aluminum frame, and one of the most powerful motors in its class. The two models were very similar, which led the SUPER73 design and engineering teams to provide greater clarity between the two products. For the 2022 Model Year, the SUPER73-RX will continue to offer a more overt off-road vibe, while the SUPER73-R Brooklyn will be focused on “street performance.” As such, it gains new street-specific SUPER73 LZRD tires for extended commuter rides. Other refinements include a new SUPER73 mid-rise “Drago” Chromoly handlebar and Speedster Low Profile seat. The SUPER73-R Brooklyn now includes a front and rear lighting package plus a horn as well as air assist for its inverted coil spring fork to enhance comfort and control. As before, the SUPER73-R Brooklyn has a powerful internally geared brushless DC hub motor capable of 2300 watts peak output. Powered by a state-of-the-art 960 watt-hour battery, the R can deliver more than 40 miles* of range at 20mph under throttle activation, or in excess of 75 miles* using ECO pedal assist mode, selected via the SUPER73 phone app. As part of the 2022 MY update program, the SUPER73-R Brooklyn and RX models will be available in three colors: Obsidian, Blu Tang, and Dark Earth. The SUPER73-R Brooklyn and RX models will be available from Spring 2022 and can be ordered via super73.com. *Battery range estimates depend on conditions such as rider weight, speed, temperature, wind, tire pressure, terrain, incline, etc. Mileage may vary. **SUPER73 strongly encourages certified safety gear to be worn by all riders, particularly children, to help protect against or reduce the severity of injuries. Helmets are especially important to protect the head but other safety gear should not be overlooked.

ibble

Learn more at www.getibble.com or sxsw.getibble.com ibble, the social media app focused on authentic conversations and engagement, is coming out stealth in style as the unofficial app of SXSW. Making the partnership even more powerful and expanding on ibble's ability to facilitate conversations, the social media app also announces the Super Events feature. "When you ask a marketer what the best way is to market, they almost always say 'word of mouth' marketing. But when you ask where they spend their money it is rarely on word-of-mouth marketing," said Raymond Kaminski, CEO, and co-founder of ibble. "The way we built ibble, companies can now see and hear the power of word-of-mouth marketing. Our Super Events feature only adds to this by showing what was most talked about at SXSW, removing the hype and getting into the conversations that matter most – yours," "We're big believers in ibble because it allows creators and brands to connect with their audience in a more authentic way compared to the social media platforms of the last decade," said Mitch Morales, Founding Partner, Managing Director at Unknown Ventures. "The new Super Event feature is a great example of how the app generates new valuable touchpoints for users by blending digital and IRL experience." ibble is built with distinct features that positively impact how, when, and why people communicate on the social media app. With ibble, you do more than simply follow, explore and share. ibble makes conversations better by allowing users to learn and gain new perspectives through friends "sparking" conversations sharing news to the ibble community or a private group of friends. Because ibble bases conversations and questions on audio or video, it is easier to see others' true perspectives, connect at a deeper level, ask questions. Experts and influencers have the freedom to choose how and when to talk with their community without losing the conversation. "Our Super Event feature allows people to dive deeper into events, connecting with brands and participants at a deeper level," said Irving Lee, Co-founder, and Head of Partnerships. "We have built an innovative platform that bridges social media, engagement, and events with Super Events that captures experiences and conversations in one single place, and that is something that has never been available before." The Super Event feature was built to connect event participants deeper with brands, the event itself, and other participants. Super Event also removes FOMO (fear of missing out) by allowing people to be everywhere at once by showcasing everything happening at the event and giving the end-user the ability to move between experiences fluidly and virtually. Through ibble, users are given the unique experience to ask event experts questions before getting on stage. With the spark feature, ibble users can spin-off conversations to share their perspectives with video or audio. More importantly, these sparked conversations continue to grow and gain depth long after the event or presentation has ended. "The Super Event feature will improve the participant experience, speaker experience, and overall event. With ibble event badge holders, creators and partners will be able to take full advantage of the event without feeling the pain of being pulled in too many directions," added Mr. Kaminski.

Uno Pizzeria & Grill Rewards Restaurant Industry Workers with $1 Pizzas

UNO Pizzeria & Grill

The Restaurant and Hospitality industries were some of the hardest hit during the Covid-19 Pandemic with many companies eventually closing their doors for good. Those that continued to operate relied heavily on their employees to show up to work and deliver exceptional service to their customers. Uno Pizzeria and Grill knows this was no small feat and wanted to recognize those industry employees who worked through the toughest of times. As a show of support for all fellow staff, UNO Pizzeria and Grill has handed out thousands of vouchers good for a $1 Individual Deep Dish or Thin crust pizza of their choice. They allowed their staff, both restaurant and corporate, to be the ones to distribute them to their fellow neighborhood establishments. “We hope this act of kindness will serve as a show of support to all those in the hospitality community who continue to provide spectacular service during these challenging times and help keep spirits high while we all work so hard”, stated CEO Erik Frederick. “We know the effort and commitment it has taken to persevere through these tough times for our staff as well as all hospitality and restaurant staff. We wanted to show our appreciation and admiration to all of the dedicated service workers out there in our communities. After all, we’re all in this together”. About UNO Pizzeria & Grill Based in Boston, Massachusetts, Uno Restaurant Holdings Corporation includes approximately 90 company-owned and franchised UNO Pizzeria & Grill restaurants located in 18 states, and the District of Columbia, India, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
