MONTEGO BAY, JAMAICA August 2003 – With the college football and the NFL seasons ready to kick-off their thrilling and action-packed seasons, Olympic Sports – one of the most respected offshore sports books since 1996 – is launching a new offshore wagering facility that caters to the needs of the recreational sports bettor.

BetJamaica.com has begun operations to offer a sports wagering option for the casual sports fan. BetJamaica.com can be accessed 24 hours a day, either online at www.betjamaica.com or toll free at 1-800-329-2640.

The sports book currently offers lines on all upcoming NFL preseason games, Major League Baseball, and future lines on the NFL and college football. In addition, BetJamaica.com will offer a range of sports and proposition wagers, including PGA and LPGA golf, tennis, NASCAR and other auto racing leagues, boxing, and horse racing.

BetJamaica.com will have a minimum Internet wager of $2 and a minimum telephone wager of $10. BetJamaica.com will cater its wagers and services to the casual bettor and sports fan.

“Our goal is to establish BetJamaica.com as the premier one-stop shop for the recreational sports player,” said Scotty Johnson, general manager of BetJamacia.com. “We want to become the primary place for the casual sports bettor and fan. We believe that BetJamaica.com will offer lines and promotions that will be the best in the offshore sports book industry. Our support staff for customers is friendly and knowledgeable and is available 24 hours.”

Johnson and the management team running BetJamaica.com are some of the industry’s most knowledgeable sports book veterans. They have worked together for the last seven years, combining 75 years experience in the offshore sports book industry.

“Football season is upon us and BetJamaica.com is ready for fans and supporters of all college and pro teams,” Johnson said. “We promise an assortment of lines and proposition wagers for all games.”

As an opening promotion, BetJamaica.com is offering a 20 percent sign-up bonus and a 10 percent bonus on all subsequent deposits. Bet Jamaica.com will differ from Olympic by paying track odds on horse racing, offering a 10-cent line on baseball and “nickel juice” on NFL and NCAA football from 8 p.m. to midnight every Friday (Eastern Time).

Olympic Sports provides the technical and financial support for the wagering site, in addition to the original long-standing Galaxy/Royal management team that includes Johnson and Victor Wells.
