  • Story about this years real LV Hilton contest

    From Sunday's NYTimes Magazine, a fun read. Have heard stories about this,
    but interesting to read about syndicates forcing line in their direction.
    Would like to know who in the USA is taking online bets for the amounts they
    are claiming.

      Guess they switched after a week. See if this works, dragon. I just checked and the full
      article was up, with no charge. Let me know if you can now read it.

      Maybe they switched to fee based, because they knew after I posted here they would
      get a lot of hits. ha,ha.

          If I scan it, it's about 15 pages. Ask Jeff if he can forward your
          address to me and I will mail you a copy. No problem.

            I was able to access and read the story. Very interesting.

            It takes more than just skill to win the contest; some measure of luck is necessary as well.

            Even a guy like Fezzik who won back to back several years ago finished in the middle this year with under a 50% winning percentage.

            Where did they get those photos? They look like mug shots!

                  My team of 5 won it in 2004 under the name od letitridesports.com.. Actually there was a 3 way tie for first place.
