I only have respect for the other proxies, and consider many of them friends. With the % I try to protect from bad experiences that myself and others have had in the past with low ballers. There's a couple well known ones out there. Kenny has a place a couple blocks from the LVH, I used to get rooms in December at the LVH and have made changes for frantic players wanting to make late change with literally 2 mins to spare. Its all about people, personalities and service. Some choose volume, we choose to deal with a certain group and service them to the best of our ability. Besides if you cash you'll be giving your proxy 5% or more if you are a fair person but that's my opinion. Many don't feel $500 on $10,000 or $1000 on $20,000 is unreasonable. Finally proxies CANNOT COLLECT, so if you choose to leave without paying like one disturbing story, you have the ability to do that.

lol if you've lived or had connections to Vegas long enough stories pop up occasionally, the one I referred to was from the person who admitted to stiffing his proxy not from a proxy saying he was stiffed.

I'll leave this here for now, because it's been a Hot topic. But you will have to take it to the NFL & Site Promotions forums.

Thanks & GL

20 min after NFLTrends starts thread :ohno:


Out of complete curiosity, why is it when Sharky pimps his proxy service each year here in the offshore, it's allowed to stay and not get sent to the promotions deal?


been 5 days now :think2:

I'd like to keep the thread relative to the football contests and information surrounding those contests. If you want to bash for whatever reason, please start another thread.

I thought this post could be helpful regarding the 2014 Las Vegas Hotel Football Supercontest. It is known here as the World Series of Poker for FOOTBALL Handicappers with $500,000 + going to the winner last year and a prize pool close to $1.5 Million Dollars paying down to 30th place. 100% of entry fees are returned to the players. The only requirement is that you be 21 years of age or older. The signup fee is the same as last year $1500. There's is an early bird sign up which includes a $15,000 mini-contest held the last 3 weeks of regular season play. I will confirm dates soon.


Many people who are not from the area would like to enter the contest, however, are not able to submit picks every week. The contest has a solution where the players MAY AUTHORIZE A PROXY(a person authorized to act for you) TO SUBMIT THEIR SELECTIONS BY PROPERLY SIGNING AND AUTHORIZING SUCH, IN PERSON AT THE SUPERBOOK. I was asked if people can share entries, actually multiple shared teams have won so yes it can be done.

We have many references as proxies from past and current entrants. Ken a good friend has helped me for years with the contests and is taking more of a roll again this year as I'm less than a year from graduating from an intensive program. Timewise Ken has all the time needed to devote to all contests in town and has a place 2 blocks from the LVH and many other sportsbooks. Many entrants to the contest also write off a portion of the entry fee as a marketing/business expense because they use their website or sports service for the entry name. To make it clear you are simply AUTHORIZING TO PUT PICKS IN EVERY WEEK. PROXIES CANNOT COLLECT ANYTHING, IF YOU FEEL FOR WHATEVER REASON THE % IS NOT REASONABLE THEN THAT IS OK. Nobody has ever said we are not approachable to communicate an agreement or understanding. The thought process is to protect against certain incidents that have happened to me in the past and others where significant amounts were won in sports contests and other ways and unfortunately the players chose not to tip out anything or a very small amount with a handshake. The contest is 5 games a week against the point spread, sides only.

Should you have any questions regarding rules, regulations, or want to set up a time to meet when in Las Vegas, please do not hesitate to contact me by PM or at lvhpicks1@yahoo.com or at 702-336-2113.

The going rate for this type of service is $250 in addition to 5% of winnings. We really don't make much off the up front fee, with thursday games all the time now, We are down there minimum 3 times a week often more(50+) to accommodate the people in the contest especially late in the season. They start accepting entries July 1st . I will update the thread periodically. You can PM me or write to lvhpicks1@yahoo.com

So some of you would like to know why, so far sharky's proxy thread has stayed up longer in the offshore forum than with others.

there's a few reasons. One being that he has been a Long term member at The RX. Another is he had a deal in place back when Ken owned the forum. And another reason is he has had other dealings with the Current RX ownership.

will this thread stay up forever ? NO

and for those looking to plug others in Sharky's thread ... That just won't be allowed. I said the same thing in NFL's thread.
