The Las Vegas Hilton Super Contest is a battle of approximately 350+ handicappers that compete to win the most prestigious NFL handicapping contest award with over a half a million dollars in prizes. Each entry is $1,500 so these handicappers put their money where their mouth is. The LVHSC considered changes for the 2011 season including posting odds a day later than previous years to avoid having so many situations of stale odds and giving more credibility to the big NFL contest. The controversy comes in mostly situations arising from when odds are posted on a game, a big injury is noted and there is a big swing in the odds where some players are getting unfair advantage by using a game with odds that are not available. For years this happens by 1/2 to 2 points on many games but last year contest saw a game with a 9 point swing.
