Daily Racing Form’s Steve Crist is New Host
{{monthName}} {{day}}, {{year}} {{hour12}}:{{minuteTwoDigit}}{{dayPeriod}}
If you think of HRTV’s Jeff Siegel as a middle reliever, then you’ve got to regard Daily Racing Form’s Steve Crist as a stopper. He’s looking to pitch a pair of shutouts in the final two weeks of Xpressbet’s popular $40,000 Beat the Host.
You’ve probably read Steve Crist’s books, his blogs or his pick-six trials and tribulations. Now you’ve got a chance to beat him head-to-head in Beat the Host competition Saturday, Feb. 18 and Saturday, Feb. 25. Those also are your last two opportunities to qualify for the Beat the Host Championship and a shot at four Vegas tournament seats (plus $500 airfare and lodging); $5,000 in cash and 30 complimentary seats in Xpressbet Showdown—a $300 value each.
Don’t let this golden opportunity disappear into the sunset. You don’t want to be sitting on the sidelines when the Championship game is played Saturday, March 10. The only way to crack the starting lineup is to whip the host (if you haven’t already, of course).
Beat the Host requires free registration and a single, live $5 win wager on one horse in each of eight mandatory races. If your total is higher than the host’s, you head to the Championship. If you top all players, you win $1,000. Second and third-place finishers get $500 each.
{If you don't have an XpressBet account, you can sign up and earn $125 back, plus play in the Beat The Host contest.}
Steve Crist is waiting for you and so is the chance to parlay a total of $40 bucks into the score of a lifetime. See you the last two Saturday’s in February. We’ve saved a seat in the Championship for you, too. Now, come and get it!
