Greektown Makes Big Offer, Player Makes Perfect Picks,
& Odds On Promotions Writes the Check

Detroit. Mich – Congratulations to Wade F. of West Bloomfield, Michigan who recently won $500,000, courtesy of Hollywood Casino at Greektown, and paid for by Odds On Promotions, after he won a season-long NFL Survivor Pool promotion.

\At the beginning of the football season, Wade F. paid $500 to participate in the “Sportsbook Battle Season III” Survivor Pool at Hollywood Casino at Greektown’s Sportsbook.

Each week participants had to pick one pro team to win. There was just one catch – contestants could only pick each team ONCE. And, as a bonus if any player could pick correctly – aka go undefeated – for 19 weeks, they would win a $500,000 bonus, paid for by Odds On.

After outlasting the rest of the pack, Wade F. walked away with $39,500 guaranted prize after week 12. Using his wits he proceeded to keep on making the perfect picks until the 19th game – where he corrected selected the Buccaneers to beat the Panthers, scoring himself the half-million dollar prize.

Wade’s big win generated great PR for the casino’s Sportbook with articles and stories appearing in a number of Detroit media outlets, just prior to the final NFL playoff games and the Super Bowl.

Blacksburg, Va. – Congratulations to football contest winner Ramy Yousef who won $10,000 this September, paid for by Odds On Promotions, in a Pass, Punt and Kick contest at Virginia Tech.
