The above link appears to be the biggest proxy, by the looks of things.

http://lasvegascontestproxy.com appears to be the cheapest and has good testimonials.

KellyinVegas has some good reviews on other sites.

Another one mentioned is Vegasfootballproxy.com

As I do more research, there are a lot of them.

throw your money away

Unless you are a professional gambler that can write off losses it is EXTREMELY STUPID to buy in to the super contests. Between house fees and taxes, it is worse than buying a scratch off. Difference is you’re putting up thousands rather than a $5 bill. Did the math and the net amount paid out after taxes is only like 60-70%. Awful. Absolutely awful.

Whats the dress code like? Brooks Brothers or The Gap

I'm actually in a group with 5 others, but i expect another 5 more or friends too as we get closer. We are entering the William Hill College contest for $500, and the Circa Sports Million (pro) for $1000. If we get 10 people, total cost is less than $200 for each of us. Weekly picks will be tallied and the top choices will be submitted. If it was me alone, I agree with all the comments. With everyone else, it's a no brainer considering the additional bonuses available in each contest and ease to participate, along with the fun and excitement it generates. Why not, if i have the same year as i did last year- I'll be right there in the end. The one contest I studied from last year, the winner won at 66% correct picks and it paid out to people who hit all the way down to 60% too.

The last 5 winners all have had a background in finance, modeling, professional capping or analytics. The professional gamblers and quants thank you for your donations. If you aren't using models, you stand 0 chance.

We'll I'm a retired accountant with an MBA in Finance.......does that count? Actually, of course I'm not expecting to win, but a top 10 finish in one of the contests would be great. At only $200 into it, WTF- I spend more for a super nice dinner, parking and a movie with my wife. I finished 8th last year in a contest with over 850 people in it, pro only. Like a lottery, if you don't play, you can't win.

Circa sportsbook is running a good one.

I'm convinced more than ever, to be a successful football better- any stat based formula or analysis should be be weighted out to no more than around 50% of your decision making. Look at sharpfootballanalysis, who without question, does the best job analyzing (numbers wise) each team and the games each week- regularly only hits W/L in the low 50's percentage wise. This guy is hired by pro teams to help their play/matchup decisions, that's a fact. I've studied numerous computer algorithms to make picks, almost purchased a few of them- and none of them have impressed me to the point that I pulled the trigger. I've also found that a different approach is necessary in weeks 10-17, than from weeks 1-9.
