| Gambling infrastructure company Youbet.com Inc. said it slashed
34 jobs, or 29 percent of its workforce, in a restructuring designed to
conserve cash so that it can develop and expand its core horseracing business.
The company, which also announced the departure of A.L. Frank, president and
chief operating officer, said it intends to combine its online horseracing
product with its sports-related product into a single Web site.
Youbet.com has been struggling and reported a loss of 20 cents a share for
the third quarter. Its stock closed yesterday at $1.56, down from a 52-week
high of $7.37.
On Nov. 13, the company launched the beta test version of its new Web-based
horseracing product. The app gives consumers access to the Youbet Racing
Network, which allows people to watch and, in most states, to wager on a
selection of coast-to-coast thoroughbred and harness horse races via its
closed-loop network. Formal launch of the Web product is expected in the
first quarter of 2001.

Regarding the downsizing, CEO Robert Fell said: "In recognition of the status
of the current financial markets, we need to conserve cash and optimize our
resources to proceed effectively in our core operating business."
He said the company expects to combine its horseracing and sports-related
product content and technologies into one comprehensive Web site. "We plan to
offer Youbet subscribers not only horseracing information, but also a host of
other sports data," he said.
