I'm not NFL expert by any means but just curious, if you participate NFL Super Contest, you must stay at Vegas for whole season? Or you can go in september, apply for contest then click your selections via inernet?

2nd question, I heard about deadline for selecting picks is 11 AM saturday. Lines do change? I mean LV Super Contest selections. Isnt it too easy if lines dont change?

1 - You can use a proxy service who will place the picks for you each week. Most proxy services charge a fee (maybe $200-$500) and potentially up to a couple % of any winnings.

2 - I don't know the specifics for this year, but I believe in the past the lines were the Tuesday lines, and for contest purposes, those did not change, and picks need to be submitted by Sat morning. Everyone in the pool is picking from the same lines, so nobody is really at an advantage.

Correction to #2 - Weekly selection cards will be available at approximately 5 pm each Wednesday.

I always wanted to try the Supercontest. How does this proxy thing work? Can they be trusted??

A large chunk of the Supercontest participants are from outside of NV, so proxies are very common. Google it and you'll find a few. This one seems to have gotten some good reviews on other boards:

Do you need to be an American resident to participate in the contest?

0. Each contestant may authorize a proxy to submit their selections by properly signing and authorizing such, in person at the SuperBook. 11. Contestants (or their proxy) may be required to present contest I.D. card or photo I.D., personally sign their selection card and enter their contest

I.D. number to validate their selections. By signing the official entry form, the entrant becomes the “official contestant” and is the only one

approved to collect any prize monies. Proxy’s are not eligible to collect any prize monies.
