How can they afford to give out $500K in guaranteed prizes (not just the 64-0, etc)? I understand, new sign-ups and all. But is SBG's customer base even bigger than Bookmaker's?
Bookmakers contest:
1st PRIZE - $5000 cash + 50” Flat-Panel TV (Worth: $2700)
2nd PRIZE - $2500 cash + 50” Flat-Panel TV (Worth: $2700)
3rd PRIZE - $1500 cash + 50” Flat-Panel TV (Worth: $2700)
4th to 100th - $100 FREEPLAY
Betjamaica's: (Not counting the thousands in sub-group prizes)
$21,875 in total cash prizes*
Top 300 finishers are winners

SBG's contest payout is by far the biggest one for the NCAA Bracket I've seen.
