MONTREAL, Sept. 12, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- BetUS.com announced today the $5 Million Parlay, the single largest available payout in the history of sports wagering.
Launched to coincide with kickoff of the NFL football season, players are required to pick 22 games (sides or totals) against the spread from both college and pro football. A $25 wager pays out an even $5 Million.
The $5 Million Parlay is open to all players and can be played as many times as the players desire.
"This is a huge opportunity for everyone to take a shot at the good life," said Mike Foreman, marketing director for BetUS.com. "It's kind of a lottery for sports fans, only with much better odds than you'll ever get from your local government."
Customers not interested in betting $25 for a chance at $5 million can also, "Take a crack at $1 Million with a bet of only $5," according to Foreman, noting that both options are unmatched in the industry today.
BetUS.com, in its eleventh year of operation, also recently announced former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura as a new spokesperson.
"We would like nothing better than seeing one of our loyal players win $5 million. I hope to hand deliver some rather large checks to our players," said Foreman. "Every football season you can feel the energy rising, and this is something that should amp everyone up that much more."
