Each week we will present the selections of some of the nation's leading handicapers
as they compete for cash prizes and handicapping acclaim. One such contest has attracted
national notoriety. Sponsored by the Las Vegas Hilton, is a season-long contest
with the contestants making 5 selections each week against the Las Vegas pointspread.
Contest Format -- The SuperContest is open to anyone who pays the entry
fee. Each entrant pays a $1,500 entry fee with 100% of the fees being returned
to the winners. Only the top 20 places (and ties) are paid. Historically, a 60%
winning percentage will finish in the Top Twenty. Each contestant must make five
selections each week vs. the pointspread (generally the lines at the Hilton as of
noon on Tuesdays). Each winning selection counts 1 point; a push counts 1/2 point;
losses are 0 points.
