Hey CG -
Glad to hear you are entering the Supercontest. I will be entering this year again - I have been in it the last 2 years (came in 9th 2 years ago, just out win out of the money last year).
We have a weekly thread in the NFL forum for the supercontest and the entrants here at covers. Keep an eye on it. Might even be worth making an alias and posting.
GL this season. BTW - I think you have made the right choice keeping a lower profile here and on youtube. No need for nutjobs on covers (including me) to know anything you don't want them to know.

Why not be a proxy CG?
Have you thought about it?
The average proxy gets 300 bucks per entrant - and since you are out there and have a known reputation on Covers - maybe you should think about doing it? Last season I think there were about a dozen covers guys who did the contest that posted - and I am sure much more that just lurk.
Just a thought to pick up some easy money.

This is a really good idea. A great way to cash in on your popularity actually.

Hey CG - saw your video...
A proxy is just a representative that can put the picks in IN PERSON at the Westgate each week. When you are a contestant, you register in person at the Westgate along with your proxy.
So for instance - when I register - I have to be physically in Vegas during the sign up period and show up at the Westgate with my proxy. The Westgate registers my proxy at the same time they register me - and he is the only official representative for me to put in picks. He cannot collect any money - only I can do that.
The proxy has to go to the Westgate each week. I heard that this year they plan on having machines where you will swipe a card that is given to the player at time of registration - and you put the picks in. You cant do this from your home - you have to go in person.
The lines come out on Wednesday at 2pm local time, and all picks have to be in by noon on Saturday. Just to give you my experience with my proxy - I get an email at about 2:01pm on Wed - and I have until about 5pm on Friday to give him my picks. He has never missed a pick, never missed an email - he confirms my email - and has never made a mistake. The guy is as reliable as they come - and that is what someone will look for in a proxy (like some posters have already posted above).
My proxy has over 100 entrants (and growing).
So it is a season long commitment to be there physically in Vegas, never miss a week - and be reliable. But you can see where if you are able to build a large client base - you can really make some good coin - and it really doesn't require that much work.

And to comment on the contest overall....
The winner last year was an anomaly. I don't anticipate that kind of record anytime soon again.
But - remember something.... The lines come out on Wednesday. So they can be somewhat stale by Saturday morning. Even if there is a major injury question (like Tom Brady might be hurt but not sure) and there is no public line because the game is circled - they put a line out on Wednesday. This leads to slightly inflated winning percentages - but it is the same for everyone in the contest.
If I recall correctly - I went 52-30-3 (or something close to that) 2 years ago when I came in 9th. That is about 63.5%. That should give you an idea of what you would need to place in the money. BTW - they did increase the number of pay positions this year to the top 50.
Here are the rules: https://www.westgatedestinations.com/images/westgate-las-vegas-resort-casino/PDF/2015_SUPERCONTEST_RULES.pdf
Hope to see you in it.

Oh - and you mentioned the 15k "mini contest" - which is for the last 3 weeks of the season (15 picks).
The winner last year went 14-1.
Crazy.

Yeah, I'd have to agree.
Given the last we heard he had only $1,800 left and the last two videos mention nothing of current bankroll, I'd have to say, the past 2/3 months he's done little to nothing in the way of updates.
