St. Patrick’s Day is a holiday that celebrates all things Irish, including their legendary luck.
While the wearing of the green is a much bigger deal in the United States than it is on the Emerald Isle, it is a good opportunity for gambling affiliates to throw out a few St. Patty’s Day-themed promotion.
Here are a few tips for coming up a with a great St. Patrick’s Day promotion your own.
Games of Chance
Slots and roulette are governed by luck more than any other games so they’re a great fit for St. Patrick’s Day-themed promotions. There’s no shortage of Irish-themed slot machines like Luck of the Irish that are a perfect fit for the big day.
Notre Dame Futures Betting
The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame are the obvious choice for St. Patrick’s Day sports betting promotions, especially when it comes to futures betting.
On the gridiron last year, the luck of the Irish wasn’t enough to overcome the Crimson Tide in the national championship game. They lost that game 42-14 but most bookmakers are offering around 25/1 odds on their chances of winning it all this season.
On the basketball court, Notre Dame isn’t nearly as dominant and their chances of making it to the Final Four are pretty slim. Still, futures bettors can lock them in at some luck-teasing 100/1 odds.
Actual Irish Teams
If your players are a bit more international, you might want to promote some sporting events that are actually taking place in Ireland. Unfortunately, St. Patrick’s Day is a national holiday on the Emerald Isle, so betting opportunities are fairly limited.
If you really want to promote something Irish, cricket is going to be your best bet. Ireland is taking on the United Arab Emirates in the ICC World Championship on the 18th.
