    Probably too early in my opinion for those book to start something like that but it will come eventually I believe, I've been proxying for close to 20 years and been fortunate to have 2 winners of the Supercontest, many don't fly out to sign up they get family or friends that happen to be in Vegas for work or pleasure sign up for them or do a 3rd party agreement instead .... at least it's an option if you cannot fly out yourself, just making you aware KRK

            I think two quick

            Also I doubt William Hill would ever have one

            They are the worst book in World and very cheap

              Thanks for heads up!

              I’m glad somebody I know is involved in this and he is willing to assist others who are interested in joining.

              JJ you’re tough on William Hill I’m gonna say it one more time there’s no other book in Vegas that that will let me bet as much in game as them and let me bet in game $10,000 with no questions asked.

              Bro they pretty much have almost every game all day long they have a line going on almost all their games not just select few and it’s not just during commercials either.

                Heading into the weekend here are the numbers compared to last year

                2018 Westgate Supercontest 464 compared to 364 at the same time last year

                2018 Wesgate Supercontest Gold 22 compared to 9 last year

                              I hope a few SBR’s get in! With you available it makes it easy for non Vegas residents to get a A piece of the action.

                                They anticipate the prize pool will be between $4-5 Millions for the 2018 Westgate Supercontest they anticipate....Thanks for the good words Mike, I've been fortunate to have had 2 past Supercontest winners

                                  I like to enter in the Westgate Supercontest. Being Canadian, it will cost around $3500 ($1500 entrance fee, $350 for proxy, $600 for flight ticket to be in Vegas for signup in person). It's not worth it. If NJ has any such contest, I will join.

                                    BHoor letting you know Team entries have done well, $500 each US, just a suggestion .... $1000 Nugget 100% all entries back to players, 7 games a week College or Pros .....you can do all Pros if you wish, a lot less entries so chances of cashing are greater ....or 3rd party agreement by not having to fly down is an option if your really want to get into one or more contests without flying in.
