For Immediate Release

SIDES & TOTALS RELEASED FOR FIRST WEEK OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL

• Internet bookmaker MVPsportsbook.com makes Kansas State 27-point favorite in season opener.

San Jose, Costa Rica, July 19, 2003—MVPsportsbook.com has just become the first sportsbook to release sides and totals for the first week of the 2003-2004 college football season.

According to MVPsportsbook.com linesmaker Leo Shafto, releasing the odds this early involves a calculated amount of risk for the sportsbook.

“The lines and totals (over/unders) that we’ve posted today won’t be the exact same lines you see at kickoff,” he said. “There are many factors that will influence the lines. There will be injuries and many other off-the-field occurrences that can move the lines significantly. It’s my job to find out about those things before the bettors do.”

But that isn’t always the case. There’s no question that the Internet has made it easier for companies like MVPsportsbook.com to reach out to potential customers, but it also places them more at risk.

“When you have thousands upon thousands of customers constantly looking to be one step ahead of your line movements, it is quite feasible that they’ll get valuable info before we do,” Shafto added. “It just goes with the territory.

Shafto and MVPsportsbook.com have gained a reputation in the offshore betting industry for being the first to post odds on upcoming events and offering bets that can’t be found anywhere else. According to Shafto, he’s even caught some sportsbooks on the Vegas strip copying his lines on some more obscure events like the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

“This has definitely been part of our vision since the beginning. It was obvious to us that the customers wanted more to bet on, and more time to evaluate which side to take. That’s exactly what we’re giving to them.”
