SportsLine.com has sold its Las Vegas Sports Consultants subsidiary to a group of Las Vegas-based investors.

The investors include gaming industry specialists Ellen Whittemore, Jeff Patterson, David Whittemore and Ken White. Terms of the sale were not disclosed.

SportsLine.com had previously announced in February its intention to dispose of its gaming information operations, consisting of VegasInsider.com and Las Vegas Sports Consultants, in order to focus on its core business, including proprietary-branded properties NFL.com, PGATour.com and NCAAsports.com.

The company sold VegasInsider.com in June 2003 to Sports Information, Ltd. a company based in the UK.

Las Vegas Sports Consultants is the leading provider of gaming information and analysis targeted toward legal and licensed sports books. VegasInsider.com is a web site that provides sports information, news and analysis targeted toward consumers interested in gaming.
