Basketball Contest: 10-Person On-Court Putting Contest Insured!

Here’s a fun basketball contest idea from a university in the South: an on-court putting contest!

At the game, 10 lucky contestants were selected to participate in this on-court basketball contest via registration forms. After being chosen, the participants came down to center court and each attempted a 50-foot putt! If any of the ten contestants were able to successfully sink the putt, it would have meant some big prize money, paid for by Odds On Promotions, of course!

While unfortunately, no one ended up holing putt, the basketball contest was still a winner. The university reported that a few of the contestants came very close to winning the insured prize and the crowd thoroughly enjoyed the promotion!

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!”
