Las Vegas – When you are in this handicapping contest, you spend a lot time thinking about your picks before, during and after they go off. We only pick five games each week, but there are so many NFL storylines to follow that can impact your selections. You have to be plugged in to the…

Las Vegas – What would you do if you won nearly a million dollars? I think that is a daydream that a lot of us had when we entered the 2017 Westgate SuperContest this past August. For most of us, that’s a life changing amount of money. On top of the mountain of cash, winning…

Las Vegas – One of the things about this contest that I really like is that once the Westgate SuperContest lines are out, they don’t move. It doesn’t matter if there is a major injury or major news about a suspension. Once the line comes out, that’s what we use for picking that week’s games.…

Las Vegas – On Halloween, as our kids go out and beg for sweet treats from strangers, the betting ghosts and goblins delivered a so-so Week 8 for our Sports Action Teams. A few of our teams did well, like getting full candy bars from that cool neighbor. Others got handed some not so good…

Las Vegas – The Westgate SuperContest consensus picks went 0-11 last week as the tournament tightened at the top. We now have numerous teams within just a few points of each other as we head into Week 8. Winning the $1.3 million was always going to be competitive, but now we know that every single…

Las Vegas – It can’t get any worse than last week, right? Our four SuperContest teams all failed to have winning records, as the competition was turned on its head by home favorites going 6-1-1 ATS in Week 7. Historically, this has been an underdog-playing crowd and last week was no different, spelling out doom…

Las Vegas – My co-host of the Fade or Follow Podcast (heard in this space every Saturday/Sunday) is Vegas Matty, a person who has been involved with the SuperContest through his proxy service for over 10 years.

Las Vegas – After what happened last night on Thursday Night Football, I think it would be wise to avoid betting on road favorites this season. There is enough evidence to see that parity is king in the NFL in 2017. The Raiders were getting three points at home against the Chiefs, and the public…

Las Vegas – We might be the new kids on the sports gambling block, but that isn’t going to stop me from bragging about how well two of the Action Sports Network’s teams in the SuperContest are doing after six weeks of the competition. Let’s start with Team Bet The Process, who is now 19-10-1…

Las Vegas – The Westgate SuperContest is starting to get difficult, but there is some strange business going on with the most popular picks this week. Did anyone watch the Steelers play last week? As we enter the sixth week of picking five NFL games, there is a lot of data on these teams that…

Las Vegas – We have hit the part of the NFL season where the sportsbook linemakers have enough data to be able to identify the real teams from the frauds. In Week 6 of the season, Vegas is predicting several lopsided games as the cream of the crop is rising fast and the pretenders are…

Las Vegas – A fun part of the SuperContest is watching teams find their stride when it comes to picking games against the spread. We’ve got two teams that are crushing it right now, as Team Bet The Process and Team Sports Action are on those magical runs. Everything is unicorns and showponies for these…

LAS VEGAS – The consensus top five picks in the Westgate SuperContest are on a hot streak after an 0-5 week to begin the NFL season.

LAS VEGAS – The teams associated with Sports Action are coming off our best week as a company in the Westgate SuperContest. All four of our entries scored winning weeks, led by our first 5-0 performance put up by Team Bet The Process. Bet’s 11 points through the first four weeks are good enough to…

LAS VEGAS – It’s Week 4 for the SuperContest, and I know a lot of teams are feeling down about their start to this 17-week chase for $1.3 million dollars. I’m going to give everyone some good news if you aren’t feeling great about your position in the contest. Last year, this thing was won…

LAS VEGAS – It was an impressive week for one of our teams in the 2017 Westgate SuperContest, but for our other three contestants, it was a predictably tough week against the spread. Going into the third NFL weekend, I had predicted a bumpy ride given how many lines were under four points, and many…

LAS VEGAS – There is a theory that the SuperContest is often won by the player that can handle the roller coaster ride of a 17-week NFL season. You can’t get too high or too low after each week because you aren’t going to be perfect. You are going to have a rough patch, and…
