ESSEX, ENGLAND, May 11, 2012 (Press-News.org) MrSportsbook's Facebook promotional campaign has paid out GBP3,526 to fans of the site after a weekly accumulator bet won.
The Facebook campaign asked visitors to the site to like the MrSportsbook Facebook Page and a promotional post that featured the week's accumulator bet. Each week MrSportsbook chooses an accumulator bet taken from the top four European Leagues using a Bet365 Euro Soccer Bonus with the winnings split between those who have liked the Page and the Post. This week the 10-fold GBP5 accumulator bet paid out at 440/1.
Free to enter the promotion was running for its ninth week and this was the first time the bet had paid out. The Facebook acquisition and engagement campaign had delivered encouraging results with between 5% and 10% of fans liking the individual post each week.
The promotion takes advantage of an offer from online sportsbook Bet365. They run the "Euro Soccer Bonus" on the top four European soccer leagues (English Premier League, Spanish Primera BBVA, German Bundesliga and the Italian Serie A). They offer a scaled bonus system on accumulators with the winning total of GBP3,526 including a 60% bonus worth over GBP1,300.
MrSportsbook's Nick Stuart commented:
"We are all delighted to bring this payout to our Facebook Fans. We love hearing from our fans so this was a great way to reward them."
All the results had come off heading into Monday's final game between Blackburn and Wigan, with Mr Sportsbook needing a Wigan win to scoop the accumulator. An 87th minute winner from Antolin Alcaraz ensured that the 440/1 bet came home.
Mr Sportsbook has come close before: calling seven out of ten results last week, after picking nine out of fourteen the previous week.
MrSportsbook will be running the same promotion for the weekend of 12th and 13th May with fans needing to like the promotional post to be in with a chance of a share of the winnings.

Evolution's gift may also be at the root of a form of autism
2012-05-11
A recently evolved pattern of gene activity in the language and decision-making centers of the human brain is missing in a disorder associated with autism and learning disabilities, a new study by Yale University researchers shows.
"This is the cost of being human," said Nenad Sestan, associate professor of neurobiology, researcher at Yale's Kavli Institute for Neuroscience, and senior author of the paper. "The same evolutionary mechanisms that may have gifted our species with amazing cognitive abilities have also made us more susceptible to psychiatric disorders such ...
RNA regulator of melanoma could be a new target for cancer therapy
2012-05-11
May 11, 2012 – Melanoma is the most deadly form of skin cancer, estimated by the National Cancer Institute to afflict more than 70,000 people in the United States annually and the incidence rate continues to rise. In a study published online in Genome Research (www.genome.org), researchers have identified a previously unknown non-coding RNA that plays an important role in the biology of melanoma, a finding that could lead to a new target for therapy.
Most skin cancers are nonmelanomas, arising from cells other than melanocytes (the melanin-producing cells that are responsible ...
Citizens Property Insurance Corporation Prepares for Trial Against Corless Associates and the Wells Law Group
2012-05-11
On June 11, 2012, Citizens is set to try the case of Gulf View Village Condo Association v. Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, pending in Pasco County, Florida. The case relates to a 2009 claim for damages due to settlement at a property occupied primarily by retirees and their families.
This case illustrates the lengths Citizens believes it can go to delay and stall paying on its legal obligations. Although Citizens was told as early as November 2009 that there was sinkhole activity at the property in one building and as early as August 2010 in its other 4, Citizens ...
Hubble observes a dwarf galaxy with a bright nebula
2012-05-11
The starry mist streaking across this image obtained by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope is the central part of the dwarf galaxy known as NGC 2366. The most obvious feature in this galaxy is a large nebula visible in the upper-right part of the image, an object listed just a few entries prior in the New General Catalogue as NGC 2363.
A nearby yellowish swirl is not in fact part of the nebula. It is a spiral galaxy much further away, whose light is shining right through NGC 2366. This is possible because galaxies are not solid objects. While we see the stars because ...
Study Shows the Benefits of Speed Limiters for Commercial Drivers
2012-05-11
Six years ago, the American Trucking Associations (ATA) advised the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that using speed limiters --electronic devices that limit the top speed of commercial vehicles -- would help prevent commercial trucking accidents and make roads safer for motorists.
Now, according to ATA CEO Bill Graves, a recent study published by the FMCSA proves that these devices are an answer to saving lives of many commercial truck drivers. "This study confirms what ATA has been ...
Speed Limits Matter When Trying to Prevent Serious Accidents
2012-05-11
National measures to curb speeding on local roads and interstate highways have proved to be largely ineffective. In fact, the federal government repealed the national speed limit in 1995, prompting some states to raise their limit as high as 85 mph. Despite all the technology to increase automobile safety and measures to make roads safer, speeding contributes to around one third of the 10,000 traffic fatalities each year, according to AutoGuide.com. A 1998 study estimated the annual economic cost associated with deaths, injuries and damage from speeding was $27.7 billion.

Systemic sclerosis complications more severe in African Americans than Caucasians
2012-05-11
African Americans have more severe complications from systemic sclerosis, also known as scleroderma, than Caucasians. Findings published today in, Arthritis & Rheumatism, a journal of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), show that compared with Caucasians, African-American patients were more likely to have antibodies that increased frequency and severity of pulmonary fibrosis, which is associated with decreased survival.
According to the ACR there are 49,000 adult American diagnosed with systemic sclerosis—an autoimmune disease where collagen build-ups in the ...
Unseen planet revealed by its gravity
2012-05-11
More than a 150 years ago, before Neptune was ever sighted in the night sky, French mathematician Urbain Le Verrier predicted the planet's existence based on small deviations in the motion of Uranus. In a paper published today in the journal Science online, a group of researchers led by Dr. David Nesvorny of Southwest Research Institute has inferred another unseen planet, this time orbiting a distant star, marking the first success of this technique outside the solar system.
Using a laborious computational method to assess the effects of gravity, known as gravitational ...
Breathalyzers in Colorado
2012-05-11
Everyone has heard about them. Whether one has seen them on television or in driver's education classes, every driver is aware that police officers use an Intoxilyzer or other breath test device as a tool to determine if a driver is operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. Yet, many drivers have questions about these devices.
Are we required to submit to a Breathalyzer test? How do these devices work? How many kinds are there? Are they accurate?
People may ponder these questions at one time or another, but they rarely stop to think about the answers. ...
HPV-positive throat cancer patients respond better to radiotherapy alone than HPV-negative patients
2012-05-11
Barcelona, Spain: New findings from a large Danish database of cancer patients suggest that, even though the human papilloma virus (HPV) can trigger throat cancer, patients who are HPV-positive and are light smokers, or don't smoke at all, have a good response to treatment using radiotherapy alone, without the addition of chemotherapy with its consequent toxic side-effects.
Presenting her research at the 31st conference of the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO 31) [1] today [Thursday], Dr Pernille Lassen, a resident in medical and radiation oncology ...
