In addition, Intertops Sportsbook generously sends two lucky players to the world-famous game.
Monday 26th January 2009
The internet’s first online sportsbook, Intertops, have announced that the Pittsburgh Steelers are favoured by 7 points over the Arizona Cardinals as they collide in the 43rd incarnation of the most famous sporting event on earth, the NFL Super Bowl.
“We’ve been at this a long time -- we were the very first sportsbook to take an online wager – and our bookmakers are pretty sharp,” said Michl Posch of Intertops. “Sure, the Steelers are strongly favoured, but upsets happen all the time, don’t they? It’s really anybody’s game until the last second.”
However, there is one player at Intertops who won’t be too fussed about the odds – he’s been sent to the historic event for free, courtesy of Intertops. William S. of California won last month’s Super Bowl Contest at Intertops and will be taking his wife to Tampa for the big game:
'The Super Bowl is certainly the sporting event of the year and for a football fan like me these tickets are just about the best possible prize I could ever hope for!” said the contest winner.
