STATHERO’S $50,000 FREE-TO-PLAY “PICK‘EM MADNESS" IS THE ULTIMATE NCAA BASKETBALL DAILY FANTASY SPORT CONTEST — WITH NO BUSTED BRACKETS!

StatHero

Amidst all of this weekend’s busted brackets, StatHero players ended in the positive, taking home victories 57% of the time. StatHero PICK’EM MADNESS, the latest innovation from the StatHero team, pits the stars of the NCAA Tournament matchups against each other in a unique DFS and sports betting skill-based hybrid. Gone are the cumbersome hours spent pining over brackets, because StatHero’s PICK’EM is the easiest and fastest way to get action on college hoops throughout the NCAA tournament. StatHero will giveaway $50,000 in bonus PICK’EM MADNESS during the Sweet 16 to get first time fans engaged in this new way to enjoy the NCAA Tournament. They are coming back with MORE FREE contests for the Elite Eight and Final Four rounds as well. Coming off a 600% YoY increase during the Super Bowl, StatHero gives DFS players the advantage to go up against their pre-posted lineups instead of the same long-odds contests, funky props, or thousands of opponents. StatHero’s format has become THE game-changing force in the DFS space with players betting THREE TIMES the average spend of industry leading apps DraftKings and FanDuel. Jason Jaramillo, Founder of StatHero: “StatHero’s disruption is based simply on giving players a greater opportunity to flex their skills and have more fun. Player experience will always be StatHero’s #1 priority. StatHero’s team common vision is to be the gaming differentiator, which increases player spend, simply based on winning more. So many fans are conditioned to just fill out brackets and have rarely — if ever — won anything. We wanted to give fans a chance to win something on every single game without the need to run to the table and that’s what we delivered.” In addition to the PICK’EM MADNESS contests, StatHero also has dozens of March Madness lineups displayed ahead of time that fans can comb through to take on against their own selections head-to-head. All contests keep the focus on the matchups and players that fans know best, so they can take control back from the handicappers and never have to think about busted brackets again.

Houston Mother Gives ‘Inside Look’ at Staying Connected to the Internet During the Pandemic

Comcast Houston

HOUSTON, TX — A Houston mother is one of the millions of low-income Americans who will now be able to get free, fast and reliable Comcast broadband service, thanks to the new Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) — a federally-funded program that gives eligible households a credit of up to $30 per month towards the cost of broadband service. “When the pandemic first happened, that’s when everything got pretty chaotic,” Jamila Byrd, a Houston mother of two, said. “You don’t really think about how important the Internet is until you don’t have it anymore.” According to the White House, an estimated 42 million Americans are in the same or similar situation as Byrd; they don’t have access to high-speed internet at home. The hardship, often referred to as the “digital divide”, was exacerbated by the pandemic when families had to virtually learn and work from home. “We had to go to friends’ houses, my sister’s house, so my kids could do assignments,” Byrd said. “It takes away a lot of time from us being together as a family. It’s tough for everybody.” The goal of the program is to help low-income households connect and stay connected to high-speed internet for work, school, healthcare and more. Eligible households that enroll in the program get up to a $30 monthly credit ($75 for eligible Tribal land households). Customers can use the monthly credit towards Xfinity Internet and mobile services. Eligible households are those that qualify for programs like the Federal Pell Grant, National School Lunch Program, SNAP, Medicaid, housing assistance and other government programs. “The Affordable Connectivity Program is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that Comcast is proud to actively support,” Houston Regional Vice President of External Affairs Toni Beck said. “As a company and society, it is imperative that we work together to help people connect to the transformative power of the internet both at home and on the go. At Comcast, we’re doing just that.” In response to the ACP, Comcast introduced a new plan called Internet Essentials Plus that offers twice the download speed – up to 100 Mbps – of the traditional Internet Essentials service, a cable modem and a WiFi router for $29.95 per month. With the $30 ACP credit, Internet Essentials Plus is effectively free for qualifying families. Customers who are looking for home internet and top-rated mobile service can now have both at an affordable price. Internet Essentials customers paying $9.95 per month can add one line of Unlimited Xfinity Mobile ($45 per month) for $24.95 per after applying the ACP credit. In February, during a White House event, Vice President Kamala Harris, Federal Communications Commission Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, and Senior Advisor Mitch Landrieu announced more than 10 million households are enrolled in the Affordable Connectivity Program, the nation’s largest-ever broadband affordability program. Byrd was recently approved for the ACP credit. “I’m grateful for this program,” Byrd said. “If I had to use one word to describe our household environment right now, it’s unity. It brings us together. It helps us to be able to do the things that we need to do, and then we have more time for family time.” To learn more about the ACP, eligibility or to apply go to Xfinity.com/acp or call 1-844-389-4681. About Comcast Corporation Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCSA) is a global media and technology company that connects people to moments that matter. We are principally focused on broadband, aggregation, and streaming with 57 million customer relationships across the United States and Europe.

Petition Urging Tom Brady's Return a Huge Success After Brady's Initial Retirement

Brady in 2022

Petition by the Group “Brady in 2022” Gave Tom & Gisele Brady the Only Simple Resolution That Would Allow Brady to Continue Playing While at the Same Time Making Gisele Very Happy Only by reading this emotionally-charged petition can anyone clearly understand the depth of Brady’s decision to return to the NFL with Gisele’s blessing A petition, posted at www.bradyin2022.com on February 27 th (2 weeks before Tom Brady un-retired), as an " Open Letter to Tom & Gisele Brady” may likely have influenced the NFL star’s return to the game, according to the petition creator, Stephen Marks. The petition had been sent to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers PR Department who were very excited about it and promised to pass it along to Brady. The petition, expressing Marks’ and many other NFL fans opinions on the situation, first explained to Gisele that she was “ 100% correct that Tom had been unfair to her all these years as an absentee husband and father by keeping his football life so strongly separated from his family life. ” The petition explained to Tom how he can now easily share his football life with his family life, giving him a closer and happier family while at the same time continuing to play football at its highest level. The petition urged Brady to take Gisele with him on road games to finally share that special part of his football life that he had never before shared; the love and comradery with his teammates and coaches during practices as much as during games; while at the same time spending every single night with Gisele. To share that sheer joy of his football life will make Tom a better husband. Same for his kids. who can easily fly to his road games on Friday after school and also share that same joy of Tom’s football life on the weekends. A joy that they too have never before experienced, making his family closer than they've ever been. The petition also explained to Brady how by retiring, he would be “ haunted every day for the rest of his life at how his last game against the Rams ended. How after performing his Brady magic once again, bringing his team from a 24 point deficit in the closing minutes of the 3 rd quarter to tie the game with 40 seconds left in the game, he nonetheless never had the chance to touch the ball again, which was just plain wrong. His defensive teammates and coaches want so very badly to make it up to Tom for their horrible coverage of Cooper Kupp, and the horrible play-call blitz that left Kupp so wide open, ” leading the Rams and not the Buccaneers to become Super Bowl champions. The petition closed by telling Brady that “ the pain he is still feeling over retiring is also being felt by all his teammates, coaches and fans.” Since the reason Brady gave for his un-retiring mirrored what was written in the petition, either Brady was indeed influenced by the petition, or the petition’s writer, Stephen Marks of south Florida, knew after Brady’s retirement announcement exactly how to resolve the problems between Tom and Gisele before Tom & Gisele figured it out themselves. Must See Petition at: www.bradyin2022.com Petition creator Stephen Marks, is a nationally-known political consultant; authored the highly-acclaimed book “ Confessions of a Political Hitman (Sourcebooks); has written about political corruption for Penthouse Magazine (yes, folks really read it for the articles); and has written and produced successful SuperPac ads for presidential elections. Marks has also written music for the nationally syndicated “ Dr. Demento ” program. With extensive media experience appearing on over 100 TV and radio programs, including CNN, FOX News, and PBS, Marks is available for interviews and can be contacted at (305) 900-7747.

How To Bet Podcast Back and Better Than Ever

HowToBet.com

Have you learned about How To Bet yet? With well over six-figure views, so many people have already been a part of the How To Bet phenomenon, as show hosts Daryl Fein and Sean “The Genius” Miller took the National Football League and NCAA College Football by storm in the second half of 2021 and into 2022. But football is over (well, the USFL is back, but more on that in later releases), and now is the most exciting time of the year for college hoops fans. March Madness is upon us! As hot as the dynamic duo were during football season, helping bettors pick winners at an almost absurd rate, there was no way they were going to let fans and bettors down by NOT showing up for this frenetic three-week run of games. So, the How To Bet podcast is back, and it is better than ever. There will be two shows weekly: one to pick the Thursday-Friday games in the first round and Sweet 16, and another to pick the Saturday-Sunday contests in the Round of 32 and Elite Eight, plus one for the Final Four and one for the NCAA Championship Game, which will be played April 4 at at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, LA. There are a few changes, though, to the format: there is a new face that will be on your screen–Nery Rodriguez– and the second show each week is going to be LIVE. That is correct: How To Bet is going live once a week, to help get bettors up-to-date information in their quest to beat the bookies. To say that the hosts are excited might be an understatement. “The fall and winter were great,” Miller said. “I thought the format was good for the NFL games. But this is different: you obviously need to see which teams win on Thursday and Friday to be able to pick games on the weekend. You can’t project. “Some of these other shows are taping one show for the week, and that is good for the first two nights–the First Round and the Sweet 16, as well as the Final Four semifinals–but what about those other games? They offer value to bettors, and we thought about how we could make it better for them. Live shows seemed to be the way to go, and now, we get to talk about March Madness twice a week. “I think it also gives us an opportunity to test some things out for the future. When this works, we know we can go live for UEFA Champions League games, MLB, the NBA playoffs, and down the line. I think this opens up unlimited opportunities for us to get bettors more information.” Miller also spoke about Rodriguez joining the show as both a contributor and director. “I think this new How To Bet revamp might have the best lineup since the Wu Tang Clan last graced the stage,” Miller joked. “Of course, I know Nery from the New Jersey sports betting scene.We both have covered sports in the Garden State for years. I think he will be good to have as a third voice, but his work behind the scenes is where he will shine brightest. Nery has the skills to get the information out there to the bettors very quickly, and that is something that is obviously important during a time-sensitive tournament. “As someone who has been to two Final Fours–2008 in San Antonio, and 2009 in Detroit to see my North Carolina Tarheels win it all–I am very excited to help bettors win some money. I think we were very successful during football, and I expect the same here. I can also see the possibilities down the line, and that is even more exciting. “The How To Bet podcast is ready to take over, and I love that I am a part of it.” You can watch all the shows on the How to Bet YouTube channel. Check out the First Round show now on the channel, and the Sweet 16 episode on Tuesday, March 22. Tune in on Saturday, March 19 and Saturday, March 26, at 9 a.m. for the Round of 32 and Elite Eight live shows. About HowToBet.com HowToBet.com offers one of the world’s most comprehensive betting guides that can be accessed via a user-friendly web app. Its mission is to help make online betting safe, fun and as easy as performing a search on the web. There are already more than 400+ how-to guides freely available, all written by seasoned betting professionals.

A sign of the Times - a look at the chalkboard industry

Gala Bingo

For small to medium sized business the world over, a simple chalkboard has been a simple yet effective marketing trick for a long time. A trick that once was an efficient tool to bring the passers-by into the shop has found new feet with the rise of social media, and is now a serious contender among other marketing methods to win the hearts of the customers. Gala Bingo sees a strong revival of the trend and experts mean that need for an ingenious board is greater than ever. At the same time, chalkboard as an art form is becoming bigger and is increasingly employing full-time artists that dedicate their time to mastering the craft. While more well-established international brands have become known for their marketing campaigns, by taking the puns and wits a step further onto multi-million billboards, small and medium sized businesses can still use the method on a smaller scale to gain traction and attention, both online and offline. Gala Bingo has talked to a number of experts based in the UK, who does the craft for a living to gain new insights and take the temperature on a market that experiences a spring revival as well as new life when businesses world over returns to normal. The results along with ten top tips are presented in a newly published blog post by Gala Bingo and are a great resource for businesses and individuals who want to make a dent virally as well as locally in their area. The list gives advice on how to stay sassy, keep it meta, stay personal and make an emotional connection with visual examples to illustrate. The chalkboard business can also be seen as an interesting measure of our time. David Winter, Marketing Manager of Gala Bingo, says: “The data that Gala Bingo has collected through our own observations online and based on what the experts are saying, have given us unique insights into how to use the method to the best advantage for businesses. It's clear that chalkboard design is both a marketing tool, a reflection of societal changes as well as a fun and easy-going method to convey who you are to your customers. If you can combine these factors, the right level of wittiness together with an eye-catching design, it will result in a cost-effective yet highly efficient marketing tool, with the potential to unlimited reach online.” Hanna Exall, a chalkboard artist based in Stirchley, Birmingham, emphasises the marketing value: “I think a witty sign can really help a business go viral which is a great marketing strategy. Wordplay and original ideas can definitely help it go a long way.” For the full story, please read the full blog here: https://www.galabingo.com/en/p/happy-hub/news/sign-of-the-times Contact Details Gala Bingo Fredrik Kvarnebrink +44 7889 314155 fred@intelligiants.net
