Las Vegas NFL Circa Million II Picks & Consensus Week 1 by Adam B. of ATS.io

“It wasn’t discussed publicly a whole lot last season, but there were some discussions among handicappers and bettors about how long it would take for the Circa Sports Million to surpass the Westgate SuperContest. For the first time ever, the SuperContest had a legitimate rival in the Circa Sports Million, but the inaugural season for the Circa contest only pulled in 1,875 entries. The SuperContest pulled in 3,328 entries.

It took one season. The Circa Sports Million, due in large part to the expectation of a big overlay on the $3 million guaranteed prize pool, has outdrawn the Westgate SuperContest. The guaranteed prize pool doubled from $1.5 million to $3 million and the [fact] that the entire entry fee is put back into the prize pool was another major selling point.“

 

Circa Sports Million outdraws SuperContest in just 2nd year by Dave Tuley of VSiN.com

“Despite the COVID-19 pandemic that threatened to keep football contest players from coming to Las Vegas to enter its handicapping contests, Circa Sports Million II not only topped its inaugural effort of last year but overtook the long-running Westgate SuperContest as the biggest contest in town.

Circa Sports Million II closed at 2 p.m. PT Saturday with an incredible 3,148 entries (especially under the circumstance) at $1,000 apiece after drawing 1,875 entries last year, while the $1,500 buy-in SuperContest closed at 3 p.m. PT with 1,172 entries, down from last year’s record of 3,328. For the uninitiated, both contests require contestants to make five NFL picks a week against the spread. Circa Sports Million II’s total is actually the second-highest entry total ever for a high-end Vegas football handicapping contest, topping the SuperContest’s 3,123 in 2018.“

 

Fairway’s Forecast: NFL Week 1 Betting Breakdown And Key Sunday Game by Jay Ginsbach of Forbes

“Most bettors still want nothing to do with the Jaguars, who have the lowest posted season win total this season at 4.5 wins. Jacksonville also has the fewest selections in the Circa Sports contest on Sunday. Yet the Colts have failed to win any of their last six season openers and the Jaguars are 8-1-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings with the Colts.

…The Titans are one of the popular Week 1 contest plays in the Las Vegas-based Circa Sports NFL Contest where contestants pick five games against the spread (ATS) each week.“

 

Las Vegas sportsbooks lose big on New England Patriots by Todd Dewey of Las Vegas Review-Journal

“Circa Sports surpassed its $4 million in guarantees for its two $1,000-entry football contests with a late flurry of sign-ups. It received 3,148 entries for Sports Million II and 1,390 entries for Survivor, where contestants pick one team each week and the last person standing wins $1.39 million.

The Colts were the most popular Survivor pick and wiped out almost a third of the field as 425 people chose them. One brave bettor picked the Jaguars and is still alive. An additional 77 Survivor entries were eliminated by the Eagles (-5½), who squandered a 17-0 lead in a 27-17 loss to the Football Team.“

 

Circa Sports Million proves enticing, wallops Westgate’s SuperContest by Erik Gibbs of CalvinAyer.com

“Both the SuperContest and the Million II operate similarly. They center on participants making five NFL picks each week against the spread, with the contestant proving to be most accurate the longest winning the grand prize. Says Jeffrey Benson, Circa sportsbook operations manager, ‘While we don’t have any overlays, we are overwhelmed by the support of bettors and the gambling community at what we believe are the best two contests in the world. Our motto at Circa Sports is ‘Sports Betting the Way It Should Be’ and we strongly believe both of these contests embrace those ideals.’

He adds of the Survivor contest, ‘We were really excited to add the Survivor contest to our portfolio this year in addition to improving the Circa Sports Million and thought guaranteeing $4 million was an attainable goal to achieve. Obviously, the pandemic made things challenging, but we are beyond thrilled to have gone over the guarantees this year all things considered.’“

 

Circa surpasses $4M in contest guarantees; upsets cull Survivor by Todd Dewey of Las Vegas Review-Journal

“Circa Sports pulled off one of the biggest upsets of Week 1 of the 2020 NFL season when it surpassed $4 million in guarantees for its two $1,000-entry football contests. Less than two weeks before Saturday’s entry deadline, Circa was staring at a $2.6 million overlay in its Circa Sports Million II and Survivor contests, with a combined 1,347 entries.

But the downtown Las Vegas sportsbook was slammed with sign-ups the last two weeks and ended up with 4,538 entries – 3,148 in the Million and 1,390 in Survivor. ‘Super happy to pass our guarantees and put 100 percent of the entry fees back into the prize pool,’ Circa sportsbook operations manager Jeff Benson said. ‘A major thank you to everyone who came out and supported us. The no-rake component and what was shaping up to be a large overlay ultimately drove a ton of interest for both contests.’“

 

David Copperfield, Piff join Las Vegas acts on ‘AGT’ by John Katsilometes of Las Vegas Review-Journal

“The second-floor BarCanada at the D Las Vegas held forth on Sunday for NFL viewing. I meandered in to say hello to hotel co-owner and Detroit Lions fan Derek Stevens, who managed to hold a slice of pizza more securely than Lions’ D’Andre Swift held what would have been a game-winning touchdown pass in the final seconds. But Stevens’ Circa Sports operation did manage to have a profitable Sunday (the Chargers-Bengals final was of particular interest).

Stevens’ crew is eager for the opening of Circa Las Vegas, especially Stadium Swim, which will be the game-changing sports and entertainment amenity on Fremont Street.“
