    Interesting with decent prize money for the quarterlies now compared to years ago. $250,000 for a 4 week contest paying top 3 places last year was one of the big draws to Circa in addition to 100% of entries payed back to the winners. One of our proxy guys tied a 4 way quarterly for $72,000+. So the thought for many people is I might not last the year but anyone can get hot for a 4 week period and hit a decent quarterly prize is what many tell me.

    I might make a trip out there and play this year, BUT I'd be driving. That's a long trip. Need a dollar bay dollar whore to drive with me there.

    Hahaha Whatever works for you hehfest, being around these contests for 20 years nothing surprises me anymore. I've seen locals sign up and miss the week 1 cut off times after investing thousands in multiple contests. We had a Supercontest winner many years ago and he was in the lead with 3 weeks to go in December and I had to chance him down with a back up phone number with 30 minutes to go before cut off time and no plays from him.

    Contests are negative return

    If guys just invested money long term instead of gambling they would go "wow" in 15 years instead of seeing "ZERO" gambling

    Indeed correct over the long term JJGold but should be interesting this year being the the largest prize pool in the 20+ years I ve been around the contests. Circa guaranteeing $10 Millions between the 2021 Circa Millions III and 2021 Circa Survivor is impressive

    Ya for 20 years, we ve been fortunate to have had 2 Football Supercontest winners, wish they did basketball or hockey type contests.

    I know many get family or friends to sign up for them when passing through Vegas. As a final option 3rd party sign-ups do happen on occasion.

    Contests are never good value
    Basically just a random event year after year just like the World Series of poker

    Lots of good options for 2021 on SBR and in Vegas for various College and NFL options or a mix of both.
