March Madness Betting, Office Pools and Brackets Contest Frenzy in Full Swing
Early indications suggest record traffic numbers for month of March with March Madness betting and office pools taking center stage.
Miami Beach, FL (PRWEB) March 16, 2005 -- It should come as no surprise that
the NCAA basketball tournaments (March Madness) is by far the single most
important betting event outside of the Super Bowl for most North American
sportsbooks.
Sports911.com noticed a major spike in its traffic that has
remained constant since Sunday evening when the top seeds were finally
announced. Sports911.com is committed to providing its readers with all the
latest news, betting odds and contest offerings for March Madness.
Thus
far, Sports911.com has gained massive branding awareness with its content rich
web site, enjoying seven times its normal traffic on Super Bowl Sunday and we
were the most viewed media site for Oscar odds.
Sports911.com sponsors
are not wasting any time putting together some great March Madness brackets
contests. Prizes range anywhere from $100,000 to
$10,000,000!
"Sports911.com is committed to cornering the online betting
market and driving business to our valued sponsors," commented Thomas Jensen,
Marketing Director for Sports911. "As the leader in online gambling news and
entertainment, we are certainly in a position to capitalize on the popularity of
March Madness and an unprecedented demand by sports enthusiasts searching for
reputable betting venues."
There are few offices in the United States
that go through the month of March without organizing office pools. It is a time
when the secretaries, their bosses and even the most despised employees enjoy a
common interest. Sports911.com believes that anyone participating in such a pool
has some urge to bet for real money. The 911 web site only features legal and
licensed wagering firms, all of which are located in sanctioned jurisdictions.
The majority of Sports911 bookmaking operations make payouts anywhere
from same day to 5 days depending upon the method of payment utilized. Western
Unions are processed and paid immediately 6 days per week while credit cards and
direct bank deposits will take 3 to 5 business days to show up in the customer's
account. Many Sports911 sponsors also send Fedex checks out next business
day.
"These next few weeks will keep everyone here in the Sports911
office on their toes," Jensen said.
Sports911.com plans to feature
unparalleled news coverage around the clock, rivaling its competition, which
includes ESPN and Fox Sports among others.
"Only Sports911.com focuses
on the betting element of March Madness," commented Jensen. "And as we all know,
that is the only thing people really care about when it comes to NCAA
basketball, unless of course you are routing for your alma mater."
