Launched in 1988, the Westgate Las Vegas SuperContest is the longest-running football handicapping contest.
The (formerly Hilton) SuperContest is so popular that a second version of the contest, SuperContest Gold, is now available for high rollers.
Here’s how it works: Contestants for SuperContest and SuperContest Gold both pick five games against a static point spread each week. Each correct pick equals one point. A push counts as half a point. At the end of 17 weeks, the handicapper with the most points is the winner.
While this may sound easy, the 2018 winner of the SuperContest only had 59 winners out of 85 picks. “PersonalGourmet” had a pick record of above 70%.
