VIPsports Announces Release of Unique Propositions
PR Newswire,
January 29, 2002
Bookmakers offer propositions on virtually every possible aspect of the Super bowl, but one offshore operation has broken new ground by betting on what song Irish rock band U2 will open their halftime show with.
Curacao-based VIPsports (www.vipsports.com) makes last year's song of the year "Beautiful Day" the 2-1 Favorite ahead of the second single from their latest album, Elevation [sic] at 7-2. "Where the Streets Have No Name" is a widely fancied third pick at 5-1, with "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and "Desire" on the fourth line at 6-1. "Pride (In the Name of Love)" is rated an 8-1 chance, "Until the End of the World" is at 12-1, with "The Fly" (20-1), "Stuck in a Moment" (20-1) and "New Year's Day" (25-1), all rated outsiders. The field (any other song) is quoted at 7-5. U2 will perform three songs in their halftime show, which will be televised live on Sky Sports. VIPsports is also offering many other propositions for the Big Game including a special 10 team parlay worth $6000, or $1000 if you lose all 10! VIPsports is committed to offering unique betting opportunities to all members, and offers new players a cash bonus up to 20% when they begin playing. Members may also take advantage of the company's online casino, where games such as blackjack and craps and many slots can be played anytime. © PR Newswire, 2002. All rights reserved. |
