Amazingly, the winner had NE, and the second place guy had AZ.  I dont know how that second place guy will sleep tonight.  He finished .5 point out of first.

Van, congratulations on the fantastic year. That is a hell of an accomplishment. You mention the guy that got 2nd place. I saw him tweeting today that he flew to Vegas to do a bunch of hedging. Enjoy the nice payday

Van,

I've been reading this forum for years and as you can see this is my first post.  I wanted to extend my sincere congratulations as regards your success in the LVH contest, but more importantly, thank you for your contributions to this site.  With the possible exception of Mr. Bator, (what happened to him?) you are the sharpest and most interesting poster on Covers.  I still remember a very lengthy and insightful entry you made several years ago regarding the Packers on a Monday night that I consider the finest thing I've ever read here.  Your willingness to continue to post in the face of the continuous decline of this site is a testament to your generosity.  

Thanks!

Congratulations.  Will want to hear your picks when Conference Championship week and Super Bowl arrive.

I'm inspired to do the contest next season but I'll need a proxy since I live in L.A..  My six weeks of Sith Sixpack picks went 66.6% 24-12.

Nice job Van I ended up 4-1 and 50-35, what a terrible downslide I had after being so good, it was right after the wall street journal interview that did me in, going 1-4 2-3 2-3 3-2 2-3 4-1 ....

Thanks.  Very nice.  

Posting here has always been fun.  Much more fun in years past than now - but I do know there is a sometimes silent minority that reads and sometimes responds.  The masses (like some even in this thread) are all or nothing bettors looking for their next fix, but I hope to serve as the tortoise against the thousands of hares here.

Just being here and continuing to post proves that winning gambling is possible over the longterm if you have discipline and a plan. 

GL and thanks again.

If you or anyone needs a proxy, I suggest this guy.  

I was nervous about communication, missing picks etc - but this guy is on top of everything - sets up a schedule and sends emails meticulously.  I cant recommend him enough (I get nothing in the way of referrals or have no personal interest - so no need to mention me or anything if you use him).

Good week but sorry to hear about some of the bad weeks.

Please make sure and PM me the link to the article when it comes out - I dont want to miss it.

1 2.5
2 3
3 1.5
4 3
5 3
6 3
7 4
8 3
9 3
10 4
11 2.5
12 3
13 4
14 3
15 3

GL next season and in the playoffs.

I posted proxy info a little bit back in the thread....

At first look, I like....

KC, NO, Cincy, and SF.

Will wait on KC.  Will wait on NO.  Will wait on Cincy.

SF I bought in at -2 last night, but only for about a quarter of what I will eventually bet.  I wont lay 3, and I don't like laying 2.5 at big juice either.  If I see 2.5 -110 again I will fill the order and be done with it.
