Welcome SUPERCONTEST followers, NFL fans, and NFL handicappers. The purpose of this blog is to provide you with 5 FREE NFL SPREAD PICKS/WEEK, a weekly rundown of the LVH SUPERCONTEST (contestant movements, overall leaderboard, how contestant picks faired overall against the house, etc.), and a humorous blog post here and there that sheds a unique light on current events in the NFL.
Q: Wait...what? Dana, you said you're giving us free picks every week, but why the hell would anyone want that from you?!
A: For those that don't know, 4 of my friends and I (nicknamed THEBISNESS) participated in the HILTON SUPERCONTEST last NFL season. We ended up picking exactly 60% (51/85) of spreads correctly over the 17-Week NFL Regular Season in 2011/2012. For those of you who understand spread betting fairly well, you know how respectable this number is and how profitable you could have been if you would have just followed our picks last year. For those of you who are novice bettors or who know very little about betting at all, you may not understand how significant this 60% figure is. Let me put this in perspective. Out of 517 contestants last year, my team, THEBISNESS, finished tied for 16th place. The SUPERCONTEST is widely regarded as the "world's ultimate pro football handicapping contest." The best of the best NFL handicappers put up $1,500 apiece to join this contest each year. While none of my buddies were bold enough to foot the $1,500 bill alone, we were all willing to split the buy-in, and picks, and give it our best shot last year. We may have a couple new members this year, but we're ready to roll again in 2012/2013....You won't have to worry about the strength of our picks this year as our two best pickers are back from last year.
That's my little spiel. You can take or leave the picks.
Throughout the season, I will be splitting out the picks by participant. I'm going to give each of my buddies and I an alias, so if you want to follow the guy with the hot hand from week to week, you can. Or if you're a pure gambler, you can follow the guy with the coolest alias and let it ride. PARTY!! Each of us will make 1 pick per week for a total of 5.
Maybe you just want to follow the contest, or you want to follow the picks from the leaders of the contest, or maybe you just want to come back purely for the humorous written content. All of this will be available from week to week. So, join Bucky Bluebird, Freddy Ferret, Herby Hamster, Peter Penguin, and Willy Walrus as THEBISNESS makes another run at the SUPERCONTEST in 2012/2013!
