Monday Night Football bets refunded on NFL Shut Out Rule
NEW YORK, Dec. 9 /PRNewswire/ - Huge payouts have become commonplace at Sportsbook.com, and this past weekend was no exception. Two NFL fans both hit 13 team parlays and rolled their initial $25 bets into $100,000 in winnings. This capped an incredible week for bettors that also included a reprieve for fans who bet the money line on the Eagles on Monday night's game. Thanks to Sportsbook.com's NFL Shut Out Rule, those fans were refunded their bets.
"Our loyalty to our customers is one of the reasons we're the largest online sportsbook and casino in the world and it's why everybody bets at Sportsbook.com," said Alex Czajkowski, Marketing Director, Sportsbook.com. "Every sportsbook took a hit this weekend with the NFL, but because Sportsbook.com is part of a publicly traded company, customers know that they can trust us to pay out when they win."
This weekend really caps an incredible year for bettors at Sportsbook.com, a year in which the company has paid out more in winnings than any other year in its history.
The winning started when two players hit 13 game parlays for a combined $200,000. Parlays are very popular, especially for fans wagering on NFL games. However, for two people on the same weekend to hit 13 team parlays is a spectacular and rare achievement.
The winning continued on Monday night when the Philadelphia Eagles turned in a turkey of a performance against Seattle, losing 42-0 at home. Sportsbook.com's NFL Shut Out Rule stipulates that all money bet on any team that is shut out will be refunded. Sportsbook.com is the only online sportsbook to offer such an incentive to its customers. Thousands of bets, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars were refunded.
"The popularity of online gambling continues to sky rocket. Because we offer the best customer service and betting options we're leading the industry with more customers, more customer retention and more new registrations than any of our competitors," added Czajkowski.
