Im starting a new thread, nothing personal against anyone, if possible can we keep things related to the contests, Im getting lots of questions and the answers are somewhere in the thread so use the other thread for gossip, bashing, jokes, low ball pricing. I spaced some of the info so that makes it difficult to find. I don't feel I have to negotiate or make excuses for the $250 + 10% after taxes i have charged for many yrs. I can't collect anything as the proxy if you feel at the end I don't deserve a certain amount well we come to an agreement and move on from there. I've picked people up at the airport, helped people book flights, had people on more than one occasion stay at my place to help cut costs, give away showtickets at no charge....etc....Whether you deal with me or someone else, I'm always here to answer questions and really just want you to have a good experience. There's been too many horror stories over the last few years so be vigilant when screening someone. Some are using the other thread to put teams together, 5 guys for example chipping in $300 each.



Las Vegas Hilton Supercontest $1500 entry fee, 2 entries max per person
5 games a week against the spread, sides only
Contest lines will come out Wednesday afternoon, I like to get everyone's plays by late Friday night, A time will be established as the season approaches. I ve been very accommodating in past years regarding time. There have been weeks where I ve been down there 2-3 times in one week making changes.....etc....

If you use a Thursday game for example, your entire card must be in by kickoff of the Thursday game. Try and sign up if your interested by September 5th 4pm, it enters you for a last 3 week contest and a $10,000 prize. I had a guy sign up 3 days after early bird deadline, it cost him $5,000 as he would have tied for the best record. Last deadline is 11am, Saturday September 10th. You get a point for a win, half point for a tie or push and 0 for a loss.

ok BAS, I'm confident there will be an upside to entries this year, South Point cancelled their $2500 entry contest with a similar format like the Hilton.

Everyone in the casino should be entering this contest if they are in the place.

South Point scrapped their $2500 contest, Cantor Gaming(M Resort, Hard Rock, Tropicana) are having a $10,000 entry contest instead of the $100,000 per entry they had last year

Talking with different people over the yrs they ve shared stories. Other than a proxy disappearing, missing deadlines....etc....... I could still hear the pain of this guy s voice, I cant remember the name of his team, it happened approximately 10 yrs. Things get tricky sometimes around the holidays and thats one of the reasons I havent been home for Xmas or New Years in many yrs. With the holidays, festivities, change of schedule ...etc people can be out of their routine. Anyways Guy is in top 5 with 1 week to go, it was the 1st yr he dealt with this proxy. Guy calls in picks to proxy like he normally does, he cant reach him, deadline passes. Good News is guy has plays put in for his team, bad news is that they are not his plays. Proxy left town for family commitments, put his own plays in for his guy and left town. To this day player cant understand the lack of communication and you can hear the pain in his voice 10 yrs later, he told me his plays he didnt get in went 3-2, proxy's plays went 1-4...needless to say he dropped a lot and got a fraction of what he should have had.
-----------
Player A had deal with Player B, they both enter the Hilton individually and they have an agreement to share 50-50 any prize money as long as mistakes are not made on their part(ie.forgetting to give plays) or proxy's(ie. not getting plays in). Player A suggests to Player B to use the same proxy. Player B chooses not to bcause he doesnt want to pay proxy fee and his good friend's buddy will do it for a fraction of Proxy A. Week 2 Player B gives plays but good friend's buddy sleeps in so Player B gets 0-5 in Week 2. This mistake makes their agreement null and void. Both players cant say anything it was in their agrrement. Player A catches fire and wins the contest, he still gives Player B around 10% but this mistake cost Player B well over $100,000+. Whoever you decide to proxy make sure they are involved in the contests or the sportsbooks culture. I ve heard many times people cursing or frustrated they have to go down there every week and enter plays for someone...etc

I'm sure that Stations will have their contest this year, but I haven't heard anything about it yet and I'm in Vegas right now.

Sharky, do you proxy for the Leroys NFL contest as well? If so, what is your end & can you do it w/o the person ever coming to Vegas until the end of the season?


Ill do the Leroys only if you come to town to sign up, if you dont we need a 3rd party to sign, then have to compensate that person to take the tax hit....etc.....not worth it for a $250 contest.
