Very predictable going to $8M for Survivor. I tweeted that 3+ weeks ago I thought that would be the guarantee.

helps to that they increased the max number of entries to 10 as well.

I thought they would.

Interesting thing is: Week 1.

Will anyone pick the Lions with some picks knowing if the Lions lose they can re-buy (back) up to 10 entries?

BTW - check your email in a few hours - will run some PL and other soccer plays past you for your thoughts

your prediction of vegas knights losing 1st rnd and that they were a fraud was a terrible prediction

 

[railbird]

doubt there will be an overlay this yr

Was still better than this one you shared in the NHL thread after game ONE of their 1st round matchup with the Oilers who crushed them 4 games to 2 after taking game 1 in OT in Edmonton. Very nice call Nostradamus. Stay in your lane dipshit.

kings best in west

 

[Sportsrmylife]

I wonder if the westgate team has something up their sleeve to make their contest better. I doubt a guarantee but maybe some creative prices for the year.

I would expect something by mid June

 

[Woodrow Wilson]

Circa has raised the maximum number of entries for both contests.

Millions (pick 5 ats) has been raised from 3 entries to 5.

Survivor has been raised from 6 entries to 10.

Since Stevens doesn't seem to mind giving contest players value, a buy 9 get 1 free tease for the survivor contest would give them something else to promote.

 

[Woodrow Wilson]

They've added the Black Friday game with the 3 Thanksgiving games.

 

[Woodrow Wilson]

I'm looking forward to seeing how many dolts buy-in for 10k and use 5/5 opposite sides week 1.

Why?

It's not like they are hurting for players? If someone buys 9 they are going to buy 10 so why give that away for free?

 

[Woodrow Wilson]

Because they seem to like giving away overlay with these contests.

My current plan is to buy-in with 6. If they provided a tease like I've mentioned, I may change my plan to buy 9 for the extra entry.

I definitely will be buying-in with 5 entries for their pick 5 contest.

Say goodbye to the overlays, also dirtbag spanky is having a meet up group late August to push it over

 

[railbird]

Need another Steven paddock or geroge Floyd to help the overlay

 

[ComptrBob]

Not only no free 10th play for Survivor, but a big bonus (comped room for 3 nights) for a combined 10 or more entries.

 

[Woodrow Wilson]

They've been comping nights at D and GG for a few years to contest players with multiple entries. I don't remember if last year was 2 or 3 nights.

I'll use this promotion again during September.

The Circa offer shows once again that Stevens offers great value for players entering these contests.

With current LV hotel prices, every comped night is appreciated.

i stayed at ambassasdor inn for 19.00 1990-2010, friday sat too. no nevada ids allowed. best showers ever.

Was that the place on Fremont street that Jackie Gaughan owned?

The "catch" is the comp isn't for multiple entries up to 9, you need at least 10 entries to get comped. The "Casino Rate" is basically just a 25% discount.

i think so

Ambassador East Motel...friend and I stayed there as part of our tour of the Jackie Gaughn hotel empire.
Woke up arpund 4am and saw a giant roach on the wall...just went back to sleep.
Stayed at the Western for $16/nite....friend asked at the check-in desk if they had a convention rate....laughed so hard I had to go outside....guess you would have to have been there.

Ogden House( which is now the boutique offering from the El Cortex)...had cinder block walls but they did put one of those cheap red/white mints on the pillow.
No reservations, first come first served.
The scene where Sharon Stone dies in Casino was filmed there.

Loved going into the Western to be entertained by the crowd. About half the people were convicted felons.
You are more brave than me. No chance i would stay overnight at the Hotel and i have stayed in some real dives in the red light district of Tijuana.

I'm going to insist that I get my full allotment of contest hats this year.

I enjoy tossing them from the car window near Jerry's Nugget.

If you ever see a bum in Vegas wearing a Circa contest hat, you'll know how they got it.

I've been doing the same thing with WG contest shirts.

It wasnt that bad but there was no need to ever stay there again...Ive been to
Tijuana to do some drinking....you are more brave than me getting lodging down there.

 

[Sportsrmylife]

Anybody else announce contests?

Or an expected contest release day?

 

[sharky99]

Supercontest July 1st Starts sgnups from strong source but not 100% confirmed yet.

 

[Sportsrmylife]

I was hoping you would have the 411.

I'd expect July 1 to be the opening of all the other contests to open up

 

[ComptrBob]

Circa as of June 12: Million V: 115 entries, Survivor: 177 entries.

Bet Bash was moved back to August for a few reasons with one of them being for contests - allowing people to enter and get a proxy.

I think Millions will have an overlay.
I think Survivor will, too - but not by a lot. I think Survivor gets to at least 7500. I am 100% sure next year Survivor guarantee will be $10M

I dont think that survivor will. Increasing the max entries to 10 will have more groups entering as a collective.

Millions could have an overlay but increasing the entries to five could make up for it.

 

[railbird]

they need a college contest

 

[railbird]

needs to be upped to 20 mil next yr

 

[Sportsrmylife]

they need a college contest

William hill and golden nugget do college fb contests

That market is covered

Circa as of June 21, slowly adding contest entries: Million V: 190 entries, Survivor: 346 entries.

Mike palm stated survivor is 80% ahead of last year.

Would be interesting to see if more people are entering or just more entries per person

I think it will be a little bit of both.

[Sportsrmylife]

Saturday July 1 is when Westgate will start taking entries for their NFL Supercontest. It doesn't appear they are making any changes to the prizes or announcing a guarantee.
