Intertops Announces NFL Betting Action
Intertops is not only considered one of the leading online casinos in the world – this site also offers super sports betting opportunities for NFL fans who are keeping close tabs on their favorite teams this season. Intertops rolled out some super promotions where players can win top prizes, including betting tokens and even a seat to the Super Bowl at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas in February. Each dollar bet on NFL action at Intertops.com will earn bettors one entry into the sweepstake and put them in line to win the Super Bowl seat. The Free Pool Competition puts players in line to win betting tokens worth up to $100 by predicting the winners of that week’s NFL match ups.
“Our bookmakers favor Green Bay to triumph over Indianapolis at Super Bowl XLV but current betting trends show that punters are divided,” said Intertops in a statement issued this week. “Twelve percent are putting their money on the Green Bay Packers but eleven percent are backing the Minnesota Vikings. Thirty-one percent are betting that the New York Jets will represent the AFC while 36 percent think the Packers will take the NFC Championship. One hundred percent would love to win our free trip to the Super Bowl.”
