The Greek Sportsbook, a leader in online sports betting, continues its
prominence in college sports with more offerings on college football for the
upcoming season. This week, The Greek Sportsbook is the first to release
odds on the #1 recruiting class for incoming freshman for 2007. The Greek
will use the rankings that are found at Rivals.com one, of the premier
recruiting services and websites for grading of the wager. The battles that
take place on the field are sometimes secondary to the battles that occur
for players in their parents homes. Serious college football fans following
the recruiting trail all year know that one key player may enable a team to
move up the rankings. The Rivals.com rankings are updated daily during the
academic year and change rapidly, all of which should make for competitive
wagering and exciting action during the recruiting season.

The 2006 Heisman Trophy is awarded in early December but its outcome can be
wagered on now. The Greek posted the odds on the Heisman award immediately
following the 2005 ceremony and the current odds reflect player suspensions
or other events that may have affected the market.

Senior quarterback Brady Quinn of Notre Dame is the current favorite at
+250. Quinn, who considered entering the NFL draft in the off-season, should
make a good case for the award with a manageable schedule and weekly
national television coverage.

Adrian Peterson of the Oklahoma Sooners is the second choice at +400. The
junior running back was hampered by injuries last season, but if he can
duplicate his freshman season's performance he may be taking home the award.

Ohio State's do everything offensive weapon Ted Ginn appears a generous
+1500. The Buckeye's are one of the favorites to appear in the Fiesta Bowl
and Ginn has to figure heavily in their offensive plans. Ginn's quickness
and ability to return punts for touchdowns should afford him plenty of
"highlight reel" footage for the voters to see before they cast their
ballots.
