Golf Contest Insured at 2013 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am

Have you heard the big news? Odds On Promotions’ sister company, Hole In One International, insured a golf contest at the renowned PGA charitable event, the 2013 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am! The contest itself is dubbed “The 3M Celebrity Challenge” and occurred Wednesday, February 6, 2013, at 11:00am.

Twelve celebrities (chances are you probably know of at least a few of them… do the names Ray Romano, Bill Murray and/or Kenny G ring a bell?) gathered at the 17th hole at Pebble Beach Golf Links for a chance to participate in a golf shootout contest! If any of the twelve celebrity golfers ended up scoring a hole in one on the 170-yard hole, they would have scored $100,000 for their designated charity, paid for Hole In One International!

Golf Contest: A $100,000 Shootout for Charity!

The best part about Hole In One International’s hole-in-one and shootout insurance is that the coverage isn’t limited to one player! Technically, if all twelve celebrity golfers were to have aced the 170-yard par 3 hole, they each would have landed $100,000 for their designated charity — again, compliments of Hole In One International!

“Insuring a major PGA event such as this one is undoubtedly great news for our company”, states Kristen Hansen, Marketing Assistant with Hole In One International and Odds On Promotions. “The fact that we’ve been privileged enough to insure a golf contest at both the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, as well as the Phoenix Waste Management Open this year, is definitely a feel-good experience. Being the golf enthusiasts that we are here at Hole In One International, it’s also exciting for all of us to watch the events live to see if we end up with a winner — or at least to see who comes close!”

Casino Promotion Worth $100K Insured at Mid-Atlantic Gaming Property

Whether your casino property is looking to attract more players and coin-in during the off-season or a notoriously low-traffic time frame, or if you’re just looking for something to generate excitement among your loyal players, Odds On has the perfect casino promotion for you!

This story comes to us from a casino property in the Mid-Atlantic, who used Odds On’s Zoom Ball promotion to help keep players on their property longer.

For two months this winter, the casino insured Odds On’s winter-themed “Blizzard of Cash” Zoom Ball casino promotion to increase play. Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday during selected promotional periods, the casino randomly selected players, giving them the chance to participate in the promotion. The promotion official would then activate the ball blower and each player would press the big red button on the machine, sending 6 balls flying into the machine’s “Zoom Zone.” If a contestant happened to get 6 blue-colored balls in the “Zone” they would have been an instant $100,000 winner, compliments of Odds On!

Take a look at all of the stock Zoom Ball themes we have to offer, then give us a call at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote or email us for more information.
