$100,000 Fezzik Challenge
An important goal for Pregame.com is to educate sports bettors about what winning actually looks like. Contrary to crazy claims, a profitable professional bettor, over the long-term, expects to win about 55% of point spread bets (laying 11/10). The fact is, if you can hit 55%, you never need work a straight job ever again!
If a sports bettor doesn’t know what winning looks like, not only is he venerable to be hustled by crazy claims, but he’s also less likely to take advantage of the expertise from true experts.
Pregame.com’s Steve Fezzik is the only two-time NFL Supercontest winner. Going back six seasons, his documented Supercontest record is 56.85% (278-211-20; under the same name [Fezzik] each and every year).
Here’s where we put our strong words into 6-figure action:
We will bet anyone in the world (from $10,000 up to $100,000) at EVEN MONEY that your 2013 Supercontest results will not equal Fezzik’s SIX YEAR record of 56.85%.
Extreme results are easier to achieve for one season than six, but still we strongly believe that any other NFL handicapper in the world is an underdog to match Fezzik’s record for even a single season.
Two personal notes:
Mr. Walters, we are not anxious for your action, but we’ll take it.
Steve Stevens, we are very anxious for your action, and since you hit 71%, there’s no reason in the world that you won’t show us how wrong we are. Right?
Fine Print:
$100,000 is total maximum amount of challenge. First come, first serve, in $10,000 chunks.
Reasonable escrow details will be agreed upon by participants.
If you don’t believe one season of extreme results is more likely than six seasons, we are offering +200 odds if you can match 56.85% over the next six seasons.
Why is Pregame.com doing this?
Because from here on, every time a tout claims over 57%, you can ask him why he didn’t take the Fezzik Challenge.
And even better, if someone does take it, we have no doubt that we are the favorite! My guess is no one will take the challenge, because if you are smart enough to have $10,000 to bet, then you are smart enough to know the truth about winning.
The purpose of the Challenge is not to challenge other winning handicappers (who know how amazing 55% is) but rather to "challenge" the idea that consistent results over 57% are nearly impossible. In fact, Fezzik himself would be at best 50/50 in his own challenge - so he wouldn't take it. That's the point.
