Speaking on behalf of Supreme Ventures Sports Betting, Senior Corporate Communications Officer - Carlene Edwards said that: "JUSTBET not only provides Jamaicans with the opportunity to bet and get more deeply involved with sports that they are familiar with, like Cricket, Football and Basketball but the brand also provides an avenue for driving awareness and participation in other international sporting events, like Baseball, which, while not traditionally popular in local sporting circles, provides a great source of fun, excitement, interaction, and of course monetary rewards for bettors. Even though Baseball isn't a sport that most Jamaicans traditionally follow but with the penetration of cable services islandwide, we have received so many requests from the public asking that Baseball be added to our betting programme, that we were only too happy to oblige. This is just another indicator of how in tune Jamaicans are, with the landscape for international sporting events. JustBet is also aware that given the right medium for promotion and participation, sports like Baseball can and will grow in popularity amongst local sports fans."
