Another First from sportsbook.com - NCAA Championship Wagering

Business Wire, Sept 10, 1999

MARGARITA ISLAND, Venezuela--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 10, 1999--

We are pleased to announce that Sportsbook.com has released odds on which NCAA football team will win the National Title Game (the Sugar Bowl).

Sportsbook.com is currently the only sportsbook on the entire Internet offering such odds. Sportsbook.com has established Florida State as the odds on favorite at 6-5 due to their rather light ACC schedule. Their annual matchups with Miami at home and Florida on the road being the only real threats to upend Florida State's march to the Sugar Bowl. Joe Paterno's Penn State squad is 2-1 to win the National Championship Game. Unlike Florida State, Penn State has to get through a rather tough Big 10 schedule with a tough road game vs. Miami next week. Rounding out the top five favorites are last year's title winner Tennessee at 5-1, Steve Spurrier's flashy Florida Gators at 6-1 and Nebraska looking to rebound from last years disappointing 9-3 season is 6-1. Sportsbook.com will have these odds up throughout the season and all odds are subject to change.

Sportsbook.com recently launched the `Prop Place,' your one stop shop for proposition wagering on nearly every sporting event in North America.
