Fishing Contest Winner Lassos Record-Breaking Shark, Scores $20K

Odds On Promotions Writes the Check for $20,000

Gulfport, Miss. – Congratulations to David Rogers of Mobile, Ala., our latest fishing contest winner, who not only broke two state records during the 69th Annual Mississippi Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo this summer, he also won $20,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions.

Rogers won the big bucks as part of the Rodeo’s Shark Bounty: if any angler was able to land a state record-breaking Tiger Shark before the scales closed on July 4, 2016, they would win $20,000.

Rogers’ prize winning catch, a 390-pounder, broke – or should we say, annihilated – a six-year record that was set in 2010 for a 173-pound Tiger Shark. He also landed a record setting 203-pound Bull Shark. Even more surprising, he broke both records in a single day!

Check out the amazing press Rogers received for his catch.

Interested in offering participants in your next special event the chance to win a prize for a record-setting performance? Interested in more winning fishing contest ideas? Email or give Odds On a call today at 888-827-2249 to learn more.

Hole In One Promotion Lands Former Pro Brand New Mercedes

hole in one promotion - tyler obermuellerAll Smiles: Hole-In-One by Former Pro Wins New Mercedes
Hole In One International Writes Check for $42,700

Fargo, N.D. – Former pro golfer Tyler Obermueller of Hudson, Wisc. aced himself a brand new Mercedes Benz this summer, courtesy of WE Ortho and Pediatric Dentistry, and paid for by Odds On Promotions’ sister company, Hole In One International, during a hole in one promotion.

Obermueller won the stunning new ride after he aced the 160 yard 12th hole at the Fargo Country Club during the Open Wide Open Golf Scramble with an 8-iron.

Obermueller, a sales representative with the dental supply company Henry Schein, regained his amateur status in 2011 and had only played a couple of rounds this year before being asked to play in the Open Wide event.

According to Obermueller, “I was just trying not to embarrass myself and have a good time.” Obviously, he was successful in achieving his goal during this hole in one promotion.

The Open Wide Open Golf Scramble benefits the Red River Valley Dental Access Project, which provides funds for emergency dental care.

This was Obermueller’s 2nd hole in one.
