Golf Contests To Be Insured at American Century Championship!

We at Odds On Promotions are happy to announce that we’ll be insuring a series of giant-prize golf contests during the 24^th Annual American Century Championship, which will take place July 16-21, 2013 in Lake Tahoe, California. Even better – one of the golf contests will be filmed by NBC TV for rebroadcast on Sunday, July 21st, 2013, during the actual tournament!

The first golf contest, developed in conjunction with a New York insurance agency, and sponsored by a PR company, will take place prior to the golf tournament, during their “Media Day” event. The promotion will feature 40 amateurs who will each get two shots to make a hole-in-one from the par 3 17th hole, which measures 155 yards in length. That’s a total of 80 chances for someone to become a winner! A winner of what? How about a cool $25,000 cash, paid for by Odds On Promotions?

But wait, there are even more golf contests…

To kick off the American Century Championship this year, the same agency, working in conjunction with Korbel, will be insuring a combination hole in one contest and Ball in the Circle contest. The contest, which will take place on Friday, July 19 will feature a total of 15 amateur golfers who will each get not one chance, but two chances, to hit a golf ball approximately 155 yards and either make a hole-in-one and win $250,000 or have it come to rest within the designated circle winning $25,000. The contest, which will also take place on the 17th will be broadcast on NBC on Sunday, July 21, during the actual tournament!

Ready for more? The third golf contest is a 3-day-long Million Dollar Shootout event, taking place July 19th-21st. 80 amateurs and 1 club professional will get a shot, each day, at winning $1,000,000 if they’re able to ace the par 3 17th hole… which will this time, be measured out at 165 yards. This hole in one insurance policy will be written so that there can be a possibility of two winners, both of which could potentially cash out one million dollars richer the day of their ace.

If a lucky contestant picks the right pumpkin, they’ll score your grand prize. Or take home a smaller consolation prize.

Inside each bag you’ll place a Lucky Envelope that contains either the word “Treat” and a number (dollar value) or the word “Truck”.

Casino Basketball Promotion Ideas: How Can We Help You?

While the NCAA Basketball Championship has come and gone, I have great news for those of you looking for casino basketball promotion ideas for next year: A few months ago, I helped a casino property in the Southern U.S. to insure an NCAA score prediction promotion! Feel free to steal…

Here is how the promotion worked – players who earned at least 25 points on their player’s card during the four days prior to the promotional date were given the opportunity to predict the final score in the April 6th NCAA semi-final game.

Out of all the players participating in the promotion, five ‘finalists’ were chosen via a registration form. These five players had a chance to win $10,000, paid for by Odds On Promotions, if their game score predictions for each and every team happened to be correct come the day of the semi-final game!

It’s important to remember that score prediction promotions aren’t limited to basketball — you have the freedom to theme your casino promotion around any big event: Super Bowl, The World Series, The Masters … you name it!

Just give Odds On a call today at 888-827-2249 and one of our marketing specialists will provide you with a free, no-obligation quote and any questions you may have about casino sports promotions.

Casino Floor Promotion: The Big Draw Insured by Casino… RENEWED!

I’m excited to announce that one of my Louisiana casino properties – the one that insured a Million Dollar New Year’s Eve Big Draw casino floor promotion had amazing success! They increased traffic, kept people on their property for a longer duration of time, and were able to increase their coin-in that day!

And, it’s because of those amazing results that they’ve decided to renew their contract with Odds On Promotions and insure it again — this time, for an entire month!

During the one-month promotional period, players will be able to participate in this lotto-based casino floor promotion by simply swiping their Player’s Club card and choosing six lucky numbers on the touchscreen of one of Odds On’s 4′ x 8′ deluxe kiosks. They will also have the option to select the ‘Quick Pick’ button on the game’s touchscreen and have their numbers chosen for them at random!

Once the players finish selecting their numbers on the touchscreen of the kiosk, they will receive a printed ticket, notifying them of the next “draw time”, which states when and where the lucky numbers will be announced. Come draw time, an on-site promotion official will conduct the drawing using Odds On’s “Big Draw” ball draw machine (Zoom Ball machine). Six randomly numbered balls will be collected into the machine’s “Zoom Zone” to determine the winning numbers. Should any player’s six numbers on their drawing ticket happen to match the six numbers collected in the ball draw machine, they’ll be cashing out $1,000,000 richer, compliments of Odds On!

I personally love The Big Draw — not only is it an exciting promotion to run and participate in, but this particular casino floor promotion actually entices players to stay on property for a longer period of time than usual to if they’re a grand prize winner!

Interested In a Casino Floor Promotion of Your Own?

If you’re interested in this particular casino floor promotion, or any of the other casino promotions we have to offer, please give Odds On a call today at 888-827-2249 or email us for more information. Not only will we provide you with a free, no-obligation quote, but we’ll do whatever we can to ensure that your next casino promotion will help achieve the results that your property is looking to obtain — that’s a promise!

Horseshoe Toss Promotion Insured by Payment Solutions Company

Ready to increase those fundraising dollars and get everyone totally amped up to “pitch” in with donations… all by insuring a contest with Odds On Promotions? One of my clients, a payment solutions company based in Texas, ended up insuring a horseshoe toss promotion at an annual ‘shindig’ at a local country club.

On the date of the event, each attendee pitched in money to have their name put into a raffle. Whomever’s name was drawn would be the contestant chosen to pitch a ringer for a chance to win an instant $10,000… paid for by Odds On!

I really enjoyed helping insure this promotion due to the fact that it assisted with fundraising for a variety of local charities, including the community’s local 4-H Organization, which helps fund youth development programs. Furthermore, while there was no $10,000 grand prize winner, the client still gave away a spectacular self-insured prize: an all-inclusive 2014 Kentucky Derby® vacation package for next year’s big races! Talk about a company who knows how to put on one heck of a fundraiser!

Insuring a horseshoe toss promotion is not only cost-efficient and simple to facilitate, but the contest itself can be held at any time, anywhere — which gives you the freedom to have the horseshoe toss promotion wherever you please! Odds On will simply supply you with all the necessities to offer an insured grand prize for the individual who [hopefully] happens to make that ringer!

If you need more fundraising ideas for non-profit organizations, please give Odds On a call today at 888-827-2249 for a free, no-obligation quote… or email us for a free copy of our Top 10 Fundraising Contests & Promotions PDF!
