Everyone loves backing winners and taking cash off the bookies, but nothing strokes the ego like getting one over your mates – well, maybe nailing a home-cooked meal for the missus (but we’re yet to tick that box…).

That’s why you should get amongst the action at SportChamps. How good does it feel to get one over that cocky bastard in your friendship group? Yep, we’ve all got one – they talk the talk (you’d reckon they were the world’s best punter), but never walk the walk, so giving it to them when they fall flat on their face is terribly satisfying.

Five reasons why you should get involved in tournament betting:

1. It won’t break the bank!

Tournaments cater for everyone; from the high rollers that are happy to splash the cash (hello $100 Saturday tournaments!), to the more conservative punter (otherwise known as a tight-arse, you know, the type that used to put a $1 win bet on Black Caviar at $1.10). You can punt like a madman over an entire Saturday for as little as $2, and all from the comfort of your man cave!

2. You don't have to be the best to win big!

You can win big cash prizes. We’re a generous lot at SportChamps, and with most of our tournaments the top 40 per cent win. For those with a bigger set of cojones, we have tournaments where the winners take all. Sign up now for 7 free rookies-only tournaments!

3. Easy and fun to play against others

It’s easy to participate. Sure, we’re self-confessed IT nerds, but playing is simple (even your old man could manage). You enter a tournament with real money, then get your Champ Cash, which is the virtual currency you bet with on SportChamps. The more Champ Cash you win, the higher up the leaderboard you climb, and the more real cash you could score.

4. Best odds going around!

Unlike some bookmakers, we won’t rip you off. SportChamps will offer the best odds, without scraping a margin for ourselves. We’ll even help find you some winners on our racing blog (see, we told you we’re generous). This means you get rewarded more for placing the right bets!

5. Chat with your mates or talk shit with other punters

Each tournament has its exclusive chat (AKA TRASH TALK) which allows you to crow when you’re backing winners left, right and centre, and blow off some steam when you’re cast.

So, don’t delay, back your first winner by signing up today. You can enter 7 free tournaments straight away!
