Though Google CEO Eric Schmidt and seemingly everyone else is telling publishers they should place some bets on potential new business models, The Philadelphia Inquirer\'s new venture may not be exactly what they had in mind. The Philadelphia Inquirer\'s new sports-betting service will allow players to wager on their own fantasy teams. (Credit: File photo/MLB.com) Philly.com, the online unit of the Inquirer and sister newspaper the Philadelphia Daily News, has launched a legal online betting service called Instant Fantasy Games. The papers said last week that they are the first in their industry to make a foray into online betting, according to a report in Editor & Publisher, a newspaper trade journal. \"We\'re trying to serve two goals,\" said Yoni Greenbaum, vice president of product development at Philly.com. \"Those are content differentiation and revenue. If you\'re looking at the sports sites out there, a lot of them have the same stuff...The challenge that this creates is we need to offer more. In this day and age, sports fans have insatiable appetites.\" aion powerleveling Aion Kinah Buy Aion Kinah aion gold aion power leveling star trek online credits sto power leveling sto gold sto power leveling sto credits star trek online gold star trek online power leveling Cheap Allods Gold allods power leveling allods online power leveling allods powerleveling allods online powerleveling Allods online Gold Allods Gold Cheap Allods Gold allods power leveling allods online power leveling allods powerleveling allods online powerleveling Allods online Gold Allods Gold power leveling aion powerleveling Aion Kinah Buy Aion Kinah aion gold aion power leveling aion powerleveling Aion Kinah Buy Aion Kinah aion gold aion power leveling star trek online credits sto power leveling sto gold sto power leveling sto credits star trek online gold star trek online power leveling Cheap Allods Gold allods power leveling allods online power leveling allods powerleveling allods online powerleveling Allods online Gold Allods Gold Cheap Allods Gold allods power leveling allods online power leveling allods powerleveling allods online powerleveling Allods online Gold Allods Gold aika gold aika power leveling Aion Kinah Buy Aion Kinah aion gold wow gold wow power leveling world of warcraft gold wow powerleveling wow gold wow power leveling world of warcraft gold wow powerleveling power leveling wow leveling Safe wow Power leveling Safe Power leveling aion power leveling wow power leveling service Safe Power leveling aion power leveling aion powerleveling Fast Power leveling Honor power leveling Allods online Gold cheap wow power leveling cheap wow power leveling sto gold part-time power leveling star trek online credits sto power leveling Allods Gold FanDuel, a British wagering company helped Philly.com launch Instant Fantasy. Part fantasy league and part sports book, the service enables bettors to pick groups of players from professional baseball, hockey, or basketball leagues. It operates much like the fantasy leagues from Yahoo.com, CBSSports.com (parent company of CNET), and ESPN--except those games are just for fun. With Instant Fantasy, players pay $5 to $50 a game with the chance to win as much as $90, Greenbaum said. It\'s one-on-one, and players can compete with a friend or family member. If they don\'t have anyone they want to play against, the game\'s system will match them up with someone five minutes before competition begins. Games are held daily. Internet gambling is illegal in the United States, but in 2006, the government made some exceptions involving fantasy sports leagues, E&P reported. On Sunday night, Schmidt addressed a group of newspaper executives in Washington D.C. at the American Society of News Editors. \"We have a business model problem,\" Schmidt told the crowd. \"We don\'t have a news problem.\" Schmidt said newspapers are \"fundamental\" to democracy and predicted they would find a new business model based on advertising and subscription revenue. Maybe he should have included creating a sports book.
