Free to Enter - Players simply predict NHL results to win over $US22,000 CAD
The world’s first ‘Picke’em to Win’ hockey handicapping competition has been launched by Bowmans.com,
The completely free-to-enter competition starts today, 2nd October 2006, and gives players the chance to win $US800 (CAD) every week of the 2006/2007NHL season.
“Hockey, often referred to as ‘soccer with sticks’, is the world’s second most popular sport to football,” commented Sara Waller, marketing manager for Bowmans.com. “It is a fast and furious game and we are delighted to be running this unmissable handicapping competition”
“Not only will people have loads of fun seeing if their predictions are correct, but they will also get the chance to win a lot of money – which is a mega bonus for a competition that is totally free to enter!”.
Easy to enter and to play, this game involves players picking the teams they think will win the 10 NHL games, which are posted by Bowmans.com every Wednesday from the weekend’s schedule. That’s it – no lines, no point spreads, it’s just a case of ‘pick’em to win’. The prize is divided between the top handicappers every week who get 28 chances to win as much as they can from the overall prize fund of $22,400.
To take part in the competition, all players need a valid Bowmans.com account (no deposit required) and a PIN number. Again, this is easy, just log on to the Bowmans.com website and register a user name and password. Players can then choose the 10 teams they think will win and submit their free entry by 6:00pm EST on the Friday before each weekend’s games. Results are posted on the website at 12:00 noon the following Monday. Lasting for the entire NHL season, the contest runs from 2nd October 2006 to the end of the last game, likely to be on 8th April 2007.
