Reno Bighorns Team Up With Herb Santos Jr. To Hold Basketball Shoot Turn and Shoot Promotion!

NBDL team, the Reno Bighorns, are teaming up with sponsor  Herb Santos, Jr. to “tip off” the season with a Shoot Turn & Shoot promotion from Odds On which will provide entertainment and sponsor awareness!

All season long at the Reno Events Center, beginning on December 2nd, one contestant each game will be qualified via “Lucky Program” to have their chance to participate in a Shoot Turn & Shoot promotion worth $25,000!  We’re happy to report that sponsor Herb Santos, Jr. is getting serious bang for his sponsorship bucks because contestant selection will be based upon the Lucky Program qualifier – where, at the appointed time fans will check out a particular ad in their program to see if they’re they lucky contestant!  Once selected, the Lucky Contestant will head on down the court for their chance to win!

Here’s how this Basketball Shoot-Turn-Shoot promotion works:

Each pre-qualified contestant will have a chance to make a shot at any location within the boundary lines of the basketball court.  If the first basketball shot is a success, they then shoot from the same location to the opposite basket.  If they make both basketball shots, they’re a grand prize winner… and Odds On Promotions will be there to deliver the goods!

“When it comes to basketball promotions, a Shoot Turn & Shoot promotion provides a different looking contest each game due to contestants having the option of taking a shot from wherever they’d like”, according to Linda Thomson, Sports Promotion Specialist with Odds On.  “The anticipation of the participant’s differing positioning each time is what makes the promotion such a hit among the fans.”

Are you a college or professional basketball team looking to add an exciting promotion this season that will increase sponsor awareness?  Then give Linda Thomson, Sports Promotion Specialist, a call at 800-771-0250… or send her an email!  She’ll be glad to provide you with a free, no-obligation quote on any of our promotions — or even a custom one of your own!

 

 

Odds On Insures $250K Football Contest at the El Toro Bowl!

The El Toro Bowl is back! On behalf of Time Warner Cable, title sponsor of El Toro Bowl in Yuma, Arizona, PRIMETIME Sports is coordinating  the “Go Long Challenge”, a half-time promotion during the National Junior College Football Final on December 3, 2011 where a lucky fan will get the chance to win $250K, paid for by Odds On Promotions.

After being on hiatus since 1972, the El Toro Bowl is up and running once again!  A premier NJCAA bowl game in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the El Toro Bowl will host the NJCAA National Championship game between the Arizona Western College Matadors and the East Mississippi Community College Lions on December 3.  And what game it promises to be! This is the second matchup between these two programs.  While this will be EMCC’s first ever national championship game,  EMCC defeated AWC 27-14 in the 2009 Mississippi Bowl, what’s more, AWC is seeking their second national championship in three appearances and the last time the Matadors claimed the title it was at the last El Toro Bowl!

While the on-field fireworks are sure to please the crowds, before the start of the game, Time Warner Cable will welcome fans with free giveaways and raffles for all of those who attend.  What’s more, during the game, one lucky fan  will be randomly selected to throw a football through a target for a chance at winning $250,000, courtesy of Time Warner Cable and paid for by Odds On Promotions!
