Odds on Success of New 'Harry Potter' from BetWWTS.com

       Second Installment of Potter Trilogy Set to Have Magical Opening

    ST. JOHN'S, Antigua, Nov. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- The most anticipated film of
the holiday season, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is destined to be
the next Hollywood blockbuster. The second installment of the series about a
boy wizard is certain to cast a spell over moviegoers across the country and
may conjure up unmatched box office totals. Realizing that Harry Potter and
the Chamber of Secrets is certain to be one of the most successful films in
history, BetWWTS.com today became the first established bookmaker to offer
wagering options on the film's box office success.
    A leading offshore gaming company since 1992, BetWWTS.com has created
unique betting options on the opening weekend box office success of the second
Harry Potter film. Earlier this year, Spider-Man broke the all-time opening
weekend box office record with a total of $114.84 million grossed. BetWWTS.com
has listed Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets as a long shot at 3/1 odds
(i.e., win $3 for every $1 bet) to eclipse that mark in its first weekend of
release and 1/5 to fall short of the all-time record.
    Customers may also wager on whether the second installment in the Harry
Potter series will gross more than the $90.42 million the first Potter film
earned in its opening weekend at 2/5 odds or that it will fail to surpass that
total at 2/1. In addition, bettors can wager on the new Harry Potter film will
exceed $100 million in opening weekend receipts at 10/11 odds or that the film
will not earn that amount in its first weekend at 10/13 odds.
    "The release of the new Harry Potter film already has advanced ticket
sales soaring as fans of the books and first film try to guarantee themselves
seats in crowded theatres for the opening weekend of the next blockbuster,"
said Buck Churchill, chief bet manager of BetWWTS.com. "A magical opening
weekend is a certainty as the new Harry Potter film builds on the success of
the first film and the best-selling series of books."
    BetWWTS.com will be offering Harry Potter betting options through
November 15, the film's official opening day. Results will be based on the
totals as calculated by ACNielsen EDI; all odds are subject to change.
