Internet bookmaker MVPsportsbook.com has created dozens of betting propositions focusing on Saturday’s draft
San Jose, Costa Rica, April 23, 2004—As speculation grows regarding who will be the top three picks in Saturday’s NFL Draft, MVPsportsbook.com is seeing overwhelming interest from its customers in draft propositions.
“It’s been an interesting off-season with lots of roster moves and that has created a lot of uncertainty regarding who will go where in the draft,” said Leo Shafto, Head Oddsmaker at MVP Sportsbook. “We created these odds because we thought our customers would enjoy them… we never imagined the response would be so strong.”
According to Shafto, MVP has taken hundreds of bets on the draft. Customers have a wide variety of odds at MVPsportsbook.com to bet. Will Larry Fitzgerald be picked in the top 2? Will a defensive player be picked in the top 5? Will Roy Williams be a top 10 pick? How many Miami Hurricanes’ players will go in 1st round?
One of the most popular propositions has been about Mel Kiper. What will the color of Kiper’s tie be on draft day? Blue? Black? White? Polka Dots??
“We like to come up with proposition bets that are both fun and interesting for all involved. Some people see these bets and laugh, but make no mistake, these are real bets with real odds that win real money,” added Shafto.
Shafto and MVPsportsbook.com have gained a reputation in the offshore betting industry for being the first to post odds on upcoming events and offering bets that can’t be found anywhere else. Current bets being offered at MVP include ‘which team will Kobe Bryant play for in 2004’ and ‘who will be the first journalist to interview Martha Stewart after her sentencing.’
“This has definitely been part of our vision since the beginning. It was obvious to us that the customers wanted more to bet on. That’s exactly what we’re giving to them.”
