To highlight their involvement with the [England Six Nations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-report) rugby team, Betfair has implemented a “person placement” campaign. For this campaign, top English opera singers from the [Royal Opera House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/royal-ontario-museum) are strategically placed in the crowd to give the England team the finest vocal support.

The tactic is designed to push the fact that Betfair offers “[added value](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fanduel)” to its punters. The sopranos will be belting out English anthems such as "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" and "Jerusalem."
