Intertops.com Announces Odds On Survivor III10 October 2001ST. JOHN'S, Antigua –(Press Release) -- Oct. 10, 2001 -- Intertops.com, the Internet's first and largest sports betting site, today announced betting options on who will survive the inhospitable African jungle and take home the $1 million grand prize on the hit CBS show, Survivor III. As the first established bookmaker to offer betting options on the two previous Survivors, Intertops.com has calculated odds for all sixteen contestants on the newest installment of the hit reality series. The producers of Survivor refer to the first two seasons as Club Med compared to Kenya's Shaba National Reserve. Faced with malaria-bearing insects and surrounded by some of the most dangerous predators, the sixteen stranded Americans will need strength and intelligence to overcome the obstacles and each other. As a cancer survivor that also spent two summers in remote African villages, Linda possesses the toughness and life experience needed to survive and has emerged as Intertops.com early favorite at 4/1 odds (win $4 for every $1 bet). Clarence, the high school basketball coach and Survivor II winner Tina's pick as a solid contender, could also have what it takes to outlast the other castaways and is currently listed at 5/1. ``Survivor is more than a TV show, it's an international phenomena and it looks like this season offers the best of the first two,'' said Simon Noble, CEO and co-founder of Intertops.com. ``Intertops.com has been the only bookmaker offering betting options since the beginning of the Survivor series, and we'll continue to be an integral part of the Survivor experience.'' The common characteristic of all the favorites is their athletic prowess. Continuing that trend, Intertops.com has the college boxing champion Silas - who has drawn comparison to Colby from Survivor II -- listed at 6/1. Carl, the 47-year-old dentist who has completed six marathons, is at 7/1. As a former model and current deputy sheriff Jessie has good looks and toughness, and has emerged as Intertops.com's wild card at 8/1. Intertops.com has also announced on which tribe the winner will emerge from -- Samburu (57/100) or Boran (5/4). All current odds are subject to change. |
