LVH NFL Supercontest consensus picks, Week 1: Saints, Lions & Patriots among best bets

September 9, 2012

The LVH’s NFL Supercontest Week 1 deadline expired Saturday, and shortly after, the Superbook released the consensus picks for the 16 games on the schedule.

The Saints and Lions were among the most popular, while the Redskins and Browns saw the least action. Read on for more consensus picks.

 

OK, since nobody won Sunday’s (lame) 10-for-$1,024 parlay contest, why don’t we try something a bit different, like hosting a contest that you actually have a chance at winning.

Beyond The Bets has partnered with JustBet.com to bring you what will hopefully become a regular monthly contest. JustBet is rated a B+ sportsbook by SBR.com and is one of the few offshore books worthy of promotion. 

No sportsbook is easier to fund money to (JustBet is one of only a handful of sites that still accepts credit card deposits) and few books have as strong a reputation of paying out players. Since 2006, the year SBR began tracking them, JustBet has not missed a single payout.

The MLB “Pick of the Day” contest will award the following prizes in the form of JustBet free play bonuses:

  • $300 — first prize
  • $200 — second prize
  • $100 — third prize

This site has been way, way, way too serious since it started five days ago, so let’s have some fun.

The true odds of hitting a 10-team parlay is 1024-to-1. So, for today only, if you submit a 10-team parlay to beyondthebets@gmail.com and hit all 10 correctly, you win $1024.

The contest is free to enter.

Here are the rules:

—Your picks must be from the following leagues: MLB, NBA or NHL.

—You can pick sides or totals. No five-inning lines, halftime bets, etc. Only one pick per game (for instance, you can’t take the Canucks and the under). All games must be played today.

—You cannot pick any favorites of more than -150. You also may not take any run line or puck line dogs of more than -150.

—If more than one person wins, the prize money will be divided.
