I will be posting my 5 picks per week using the Westgate Super Contest lines and compare my results to the actual entrants. I will be posting 5 separate picks and results, using 5 different handicapping systems in my arsenal. If results from any of my 5 systems end up in the money as compared to the actual standings I may enter next season with a proxy. If I am near the bottom with any of my 5 systems I may fade that particular system and still enter lol.

Good luck this season.

The only way to test your skills is to actually enter the contest.

Good point. I just figured I would test out my 5 unproven handicapping systems before I put down any cash.

The point I was trying to make is making selections with nothing on the line and making selections with $1,000,000 on the line are two different things. A few years ago Colin Cowherd would have "won" the super contest if the picks he made on his show were actually entered in the contest. He entered the contest the following year and won nothing. Pressure changes everything.

5 systems are very limited in scope. Some things change from year to year... Percentage points within individual systems are also very important to monitor as there are reversal points within each structure utilized by the odds makers to return towards 50%. Build some data and good luck!

Whether I have money on the line or not my system picks don't change so, regardless, the point is mute.
