Low ratings for the Bettle
The first episode of the Bettle on Friday, november 5 was watched by 246,000 viewers. The quiz was right behind Veronica Inside which drew 574,000 viewers. Hélène Hendriks thus managed to hold less than half of the viewers after Veronica Inside. Thus, the Bettle can already be called a decent flop.
Viewers not positive about the Bettle
On Twitter, There was quite a lot of comments about the new program. This is what Robin says: “ It's a shame that there is another football quiz where the team captains are scouted for ‘humor' ” and LangeToepie says: “that intention is quite nice, questions are ok, but you don't need a Leo from Alkemade who is only trying to be funny”.
There is little criticism of Hélène Hendriks on Twitter. It will not be up to her that the program is a flop. Has anyone ever scored a football quiz?
In the first episode, Kees Kwakman and Marciano Vink went into battle with each other. Kwakman played football at FC Volendam, NAC Breda and FC Groningen. Marciano Vink played for Ajax and PSV in the eighties and nineties.
Football Quiz The Bettle
In the football quiz The Bettle every week two teams, led by Frank Lammers and Leo Alkemade, compete for the most golden balls. Every week these pranksters are assisted by a guest. There are five rounds of play in which as many football questions as possible are answered correctly. Each round, in addition to points, also yields Golden Balls. The final is played with these golden balls. Kees Jansma plays as a referee during this quiz.
Predicting football
We are also looking forward to the upcoming football weekend. Frank and Leo make a prediction about the results every week. The program is sponsored by Royal Vegas Casino Online. Since October 1, a dozen online casino providers have been licensed. Since then, online gambling has been legal in New Zealand. On the website of Royal Vegas Casino online you can bet on sports such as football and Formula 1. By sponsoring the program, Royal Vegas casino wants to interest the viewer to take a chance online on the site of Royal Vegas Casino.
Hélène Hendriks popular
Hélène Hendriks presented the Kingdom Summer at SBS6 in 2021 during the absence of Wilfred Genee. As a woman, Hélène does particularly well as a football reporter and presenter in the male world. For example, she achieved higher ratings with the Kingdom Summer than colleague Wilfred Genee.
Veronica Inside and Toto
In Veronica Inside, the Toto has been doing a similar promotion for years. René van der Gijp and Johan Derksen predict three Toto football matches every week. The episode after that will look at whether the gentlemen had predicted it right or wrong.
The Bettle and Royal Vegas Casino
What the football predictions will look like in the Bettle is not yet known. Probably one or more popular competitions or events will be shown with the corresponding odds. For example,” Max Verstappen wins Formula 1 next Sunday and you win 2.20 times your bet “or”Davey Klaassen scores against FC Twente and wins 3.70 times your bet".
It is obvious that Frank Lammers and Leo Alkemade give their prediction. In this way, the viewer becomes familiar with the phenomenon of quoting and Royal Vegas Casino hopes to attract some of the viewers to the website.
Many New Zealanders are not yet familiar with online betting. A tv program that briefly explains how to bet online is a good opportunity for casino providers to recruit new players. We predict that many more TV formats will be presented in the coming months in which online casinos play a role.
The Bettle finale
During the so-called’ the Bettle Box ' round, one participant per team is given 90 Seconds to shoot a golden ball against one of the sixteen illuminated surfaces. Whoever hits the most planes wins the episode.
The Bettle vs The Battle
The title of the program The Bettle is a nod to ‘betten' from the English verb meaning to bet. And the Battle is again for battle. That battle takes place between the two teams led by the aforementioned captains.
Angle de Jong over the Bettle
In the meantime, criticism of the new tv program has erupted. Ad columnist Angela De Jong is based in Hélène. "The Bettle with an’ e' means that there is also something about gambling around it, because you can bet. Hélène probably had to do something for her contract. Perhaps they are betting that it will attract more viewers as a result. The VI audience who really enjoy watching her, " she says in her podcast.
"I think you can protect your people and the brands they are from time to time. She has done the Kingdom Summer so well that she really could climb a few steps higher. You can also think of something that has more stature.”
Talpa creates gambling addiction
Addiction counselor Jessica Broekhuis also finds it scandalous that TV channels advertise online gambling. "For young people, the vulnerable and people with a gambling addiction, it is better not to see these advertisements,” she writes in Het Parool.
Companies like Royal Vegas Casino Online should not advertise at all, she thinks. "Come on, no one is waiting for a shitload of gambling ads. It would adorn the providers to take the lead in this: just don't. People gamble anyway.”
