This morning @JeffreyBenson12 joined @Covers Daily to talk about sports betting the way it should be.
I challenged by asking, "what is in it for the recreational every day player that does not play at high limits?"
His answer should make everyone consider playing @CircaSports. pic.twitter.com/EtoAL9yKF5

Circa | Sports in the News
California stay-at-home dad DURBIFY completes Circa Sports Million quest by Dave Tuley of VSiN.com
“Tony Gordon, using the alias DURBIFY, won the $1 million first-place prize in the third-annual Circa Sports Million pro football handicapping contest. His triumph should not be viewed as an overnight success story, but instead as a more than 20-plus-year journey for the 45-year-old entrepreneur from Atascadero, Calif., that in a lot of ways came full circle at the Circa sportsbook Sunday in downtown Las Vegas.“
Tuley’s Takes Today: Tuesday recaps, Wednesday picks on NHL 1P Overs (1/12) by Dave Tuley of VSiN.com
“The first part of Tuesday was spent in the Tuleys’ Take home office writing our regular “Tuley’s Takes” column with our takes on the 6 NFL wild-card games this weekend, while the rest of the day was spent writing my 3,0000-word story on DURBIFY’s long journey to win the Circa Sports Million that actually started around 20 years earlier by winning an offshore contest that mirrored the then-Hilton SuperContest.“
NFL betting market watch: Pro bettors divided on 49ers-Cowboys by David Purdum of ESPN
“Chris Bennett, who manages NFL odds for Circa Sports, said it’s not necessarily unusual for two influential bettors to be on opposite of sides of a game, but that it usually happens at different lines. For both bettors to lay and take three on 49ers-Cowboys, even at the slightly adjusted prices (-110 and even) … it doesn’t happen often. ‘We respect both of these bettors very much,’ Bennett said Wednesday.“
Circa Sports to award $11M to professional football contests winners by Yogonet
“Circa Sports announced Wednesday it will award $11 million total to the winners of the 2021-2022 professional football contests Circa Million III and Circa Survivor. With Circa Survivor being the world’s largest legal survivor football contest, the payouts will include $7 million in winnings and $4 million for Circa Million III, respectively. “
Circa Set To Pay Out $11 Million For NFL Survivor, Million III Contests by Jeremy Balan of Sports Handle
“After outlasting all others through 17 perilous weeks in the Circa Sports Survivor Pro Football Contest, the five talented NFL handicappers still alive all lasted through the final week of the season, and on Friday they’ll collect the fruits of their labor in a ceremony at the D Las Vegas.“
NFL BAD BEATS BLOG: Favorites, unders pay off; only 3 upsets by Jim Barbes of Las Vegas Review-Journal
“The Circa Survivor contest will go to Week 18 with five entries alive for the winner-take-all $6 million prize pool. All five won today – two with the 49ers, and one each on the Chargers, Saints and Seahawks. Entrants pick one straight-up winner each and can use each team only once.“
Circa Survivor millionaires detail stress, exhilaration of wins by Jim Barnes of Las Vegas Review-Journal
“Every Circa Survivor winner has his own story, but they all share certain emotions. Unbelievable stress. Exhilaration. And, finally, relief — relief that a long season ended not with heartbreak, but more than $1 million. Five entries made 20 straight winning selections to share the $7 million in prizes in the Circa Survivor contest, in which contestants pick one straight-up NFL winner each week but can use each team only once.“
Stay-at-home dad rallies to win $1M in Circa Sports Million contest by Todd Dewey of Las Vegas Review-Journal
“Entering the final week of the Circa Sports Million III pro football contest, two handicappers had two entries each in the top four of the field of 4,087. Tony Gordon, using the alias DURBIFY, was in second and fourth place, while leader HANNIBAL BARCA was in first and third, clinging to a half-point lead in the quest for the $1 million top prize.“
Circa Sports posts odds on all 98 Super Bowl exactas — FULL LIST by Jim Barnes of Las Vegas Review-Journal
“Circa Sports, South Point and Caesars Sportsbook have posted odds on all 98 possible Super Bowl results. Here’s the full list of NFL championship exactas at Circa.“
Bengals look to break Curse of Bo Jackson against Raiders by Todd Dewey of New York Daily News
“In Saturday’s second game, Circa Sports and the Westgate SuperBook took sharp bets on the Patriots +4½ over the Bills before the line settled at 4. ‘I don’t really understand that move,’ Circa oddsmaker Chris Bennett said. ‘I don’t expect Mac Jones to go in there and lead the Patriots’ offense to a playoff win.’“
Complexities Of The Draymond Green Same Game Parlay Betting Controversy by Marcus DiNitto of Gaming Today
“To Chris Bennett – who has been on both sides of the counter, as a bettor and a bookmaker, currently at the highly-regarded Circa Sports in Las Vegas – this goes beyond bettors acting on information before sportsbooks; this is them betting on a known outcome.
‘People made bets that could not lose,’ Bennett said. In other cases, ‘someone has advanced information, and whatever bet they’re able to make as a result maybe has positive expected value, some advantage for the bettor, but they could still lose. The way I’ve thought about this for a long time on both sides is no book should be able to accept a bet that can’t win, and by the same token, a customer should not be allowed to make a bet that can’t lose.’“
Californian wins $1 million prize in NFL contest at Circa Sports by Bryan Horwath of Las Vegas Sun
“Tony Gordon might have been the one posing for photos with an oversized $1 million check in downtown Las Vegas, but his teenage son also appeared to be a big winner Friday night. Gordon, winner of the Circa Sports Million III, said he has already purchased a new gaming computer and baseball bat for his 13-year-old son. A stay-at-home dad from California, Gordon earned the $1 million prize by securing the best season-long record in selecting five weekly NFL games against the spread.“

Tuley’s Takes Today: Friday recap, updated NFL best bets for wild-card weekend (1/15) by Dave Tuley of VSiN.com
“Friday was a lot of fun as we got out of the Tuley’s Takes home office and celebrated with the prize winners of the Circa Sports Million and Circa Survivor at the cocktail reception/big-check awards ceremony in the Detroit Ballroom on the 12th floor of the D Hotel in downtown Las Vegas.“
Circa Sports Survivor has NFL bettors living week to week by Rob Miech of Chicago Sun-Times
“What is it like to reach Week 12, then Week 13, then Week 14 —and keep advancing — in a $1,000-entry NFL contest that pays $6 million? ‘Sweating it out each week,’ said 24-year-old Patrick Wall, ‘was horrifying.’ And Wall works in a Vegas sportsbook, so he’s familiar with point spreads, line movements and sharp money, big money. The Circa Sports Survivor winner-take-all battle, though, is a unique beast. Pick one team a week to simply win, no spreads, and that squad can’t be used again. Easy, eh?“
Circa Sports hands out $11 million to pro football contest winners by News 3 Las Vegas
“Circa Sports has awarded $11 million in prizes to the winners of its pro football contests, which ended this month. Five winners won a collective $7 million in the Circa Survivor contest, according to a spokesperson. Meanwhile, player Tony Gordon won $1 million for his entry in the Circa Million III.“
