Calling All Handicappers—It’s Football Contest Time! Sports books rely on vig—and bettors’ insistence on backing favorites, no matter how high the number goes—to stay ahead of the players. But the annual football handicapping contests are the closest things to win-win situations for both books and their customers. The contests, many with an emphasis on weekly winners, keep entrants coming to the property. Punters get a nice bang for their buck enjoying an opportunity to score big with a small investment. Here is a list of announced contests. If your favorite sports book isn’t here, check it out in person for current news. Some contests permit proxies so that non-residents can play. Proxies for hire may be found on the Internet. • The SuperContest, LVH Casino at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort: thelvh/supercontest • Boyd Casinos Pick the Pros: pickthepros • Station Casinos Great Giveaway: greatgiveaway.sclv • Station’s Pro Football Last Man Standing & College Last Man Standing EGG: greatgiveaway.sclv • Pro Pick ‘Em Football Contest, William Hill: williamhill.us/2014-pro-pickem-football-contest • $1,000,000 Pick The Pros Challenge Returns to Borgata: theborgata/microsite/pick_the_pros
