Intertops.com Announces Odds on 42nd Annual Grammy(R) Awards; Awards Should Be 'Smooth' Sailing For Santana

Please note that Backstreet.net does not encourage gambling.

ST. JOHN'S, Antigua, Feb. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite a year that saw the emergence of teenage girls and boy bands as pop music idols, ageless rock legend Santana soared to the top of the charts and received an unprecedented 10 Grammy(R) nominations. Recognizing the intense interest of millions of music fans anxiously awaiting the awards ceremony, Intertops.com today became the first bookmaker in the world to offer betting options on the 42nd annual Grammys. The Internet's first and largest sports betting site, Intertops.com is offering wagering options on the four top major Grammy categories: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best New Artist. Currently, Intertops.com has listed Santana as the clear-cut favorite to walk away with Record of the Year at 11/10 odds (i.e., win $11 for every $10 bet), Song of the Year (4/5), and Album of the Year (1/2) honors.

"As the single biggest event in popular music, the Grammy Awards are a lightening rod for music fans around the world. Now our site offers these fans an opportunity to extend their excitement in the single biggest event in the recording industry," said Simon Noble, executive director and co-founder of Intertops.com. "By creating wagering options on major entertainment events like the Grammy Awards and the opening weekend success of 'The Phantom Menace,' Intertops.com gives its global customers the most fun and exciting betting opportunities available in the world."

In the category that figures to have the tightest race, Best New Artist, Intertops.com has tapped Britney Spears as the early favorite to win the Grammy at 7/5 odds -- with teenage counterpart Christina Aguilera right on her heels at 8/5 odds. But Kid Rock (7/2), Macy Gray (6/1) or Susan Tedeschi (11/1) could pull one of the biggest upsets of the awards ceremonies and beat the two teenage pop stars. Intertops.com patrons may also wager on the Country Album of the Year, Pop Album of the Year, Rap Album of the Year and Rock Album of the Year categories.

Other candidates for Record of the Year that could give Santana's "Smooth" a run for its money include: "Believe" by Cher (6/5), Ricky Martin's "Livin' La Vida Loca" (7/1), "I Want It That Way" by Backstreet Boys (8/1), and TLC's "No Scrubs" (12/1). In the Song of the Year category, "Smooth" will be challenged by "Livin' La Vida Loca" (3/1), TLC's "Unpretty" (4/1), "I Want It That Way" (13/2), and "You've Got A Way" by Shania Twain currently at 7/1 odds. Intertops.com has made Santana's multi-platinum album "Supernatural" heavily favored to garner Album of the Year honors, but he will face competition from TLC's "Fanmail" (3/1), Backstreet Boys' "Millennium" (9/2), Dixie Chicks' "Fly" (8/1), and Diana Kroll's "When I Look In Your Eyes" (25/1).

Intertops.com will be offering the Grammy Awards betting options through 6:00 p.m. EST on February 23, 2000 -- two hours before the awards ceremony begins at 8:00 p.m. EST. All odds are subject to change. For a full list of available odds, visit http://www.intertops.com.
