Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) February 22, 2008 -- Last Spring, Mark Read's IASbet.com (http://www.iasbet.com) made five lucky people highroller punters for a day. Starting 25 February 2008, the country's biggest bookmaker is set to do it again with the launch of the $100,000 Big Bet Blast II -- offering even richer prizes and more chances to win.

Following in the legacy of IASbet's innovative promotion heritage, Big Bet Blast II (http://www.iasbet.com/whatsnew/bigbetblast2.aspx) is a punter's dream come true. Five massive Betting Banks to bet with on Sydney Cup Day are up for grabs, including a $60,000 Grand Prize and four $10,000 runner-up prizes. Winners get to keep the profit of the day.

"Regardless of whether you're a serious or recreational punter, the appeal of winning a massive Betting Bank to bet with on one of the best days of the racing calendar is enormous. Who doesn't want to become one of Australia's largest punters for a day?" says Mark Read, IASbet Managing Director.

IASbet has been at the forefront of Australian bookmaking, with particular focus on thoroughbred wagering, for over a decade and is unrivalled in coverage, price and professionalism.

The company has a reputation for driving industry innovation and the recent introduction of Live 'In-Play' Soccer Betting on over 500 matches each week has left its competitors scrambling to catch up. IASbet now offers one of the most comprehensive and dynamic soccer betting products on the planet.

"IASbet's superior live soccer betting service enables the company to capture a new market of bettors, while providing our existing clients with even more variety and value. Big Bet Blast II is the biggest promotion in the history of the Easter Racing Carnival and a preview to what our customers can expect this spring," concludes Read.
