SAN JOSE, Costa Rica – March 11, 2008 – Once a simple tournament involving just eight collegiate basketball teams in 1939, March Madness has turned into an obsession for many, thanks to the enormous popularity of wagering on games. <o></o>

An estimated $2.5 billion is bet on the annual event, and this time around, the most convenient and lucrative place to place wagers will be 5Dimes.com.<o></o>

This year, 5Dimes.com has decided to add more to The Big Dance by shaking up the way the gaming industry treats March Madness. When players visit 5Dimes.com, they will be pleasantly surprised with a choice of $1 and $5 March Madness pools both with incredible payouts set at 100%.

The bonus offer at 5Dimes.com is one for the books. If a player from the $5 pool correctly chooses all 63 winners in the tournament, they will be awarded with a cool $500,000. Also, if a player from the $1 pool correctly chooses all 63 winners in the tournament, $100,000 will be awarded.<o></o>

Payouts of 100% and big-time bonuses are not the only reasons to play your brackets at 5Dimes.com. Instead of filling out an old school paper bracket, 5Dimes serves up a simple, state-of-the-art interface where the bracket is on the computer screen. The only thing to do is point and click on selections. Participants will also be able to track their progress throughout the month-long tournament, as well as check out how they rank against other bracket contenders.
Brackets will be available to fill out at 5Dimes following Selection Sunday on March 16, when the NCAA announces the qualifying teams.
In addition, players will also be able to play in daily pools throughout the tournament. Players will be able to log in before the first game of the day to make their selections. These daily pools also offer amazing 100% payouts.<o></o>

“It’s that time of year again,” said a 5Dimes Spokesperson. “Trash talking and checking scores repeatedly throughout the day will take over your life for a few weeks. But that’s what makes it so much fun. This year we plan on offering something for every type of bettor – from the 100% payout pools to incredible reduced juice options.”
<o></o>
Throughout the tournament, 5Dimes will also offer its standard array of sports wagering options, including everything from parlays to proposition bets. Wagers on the first- and second-half of games, player versus player matchups and total points will also be part of 5Dimes’ impressive selection of wagers during the tournament. And most of 5Dimes’ NCAA wagers come with less juice, with 10-cent side, 10-cent moneylines and 10-cent totals. The 5Dimes reduced juice applies to NBA, MLB and NHL wagers as well. Reduced juice offerings will be available on the day of each game.<o></o>

With a shot to win up to $500,000 on your bracket and reduced juice options throughout the tournament, 5Dimes is definitely the place to take your shot at a huge March Madness payoff. <o></o>
