Henderson bettor Bryan Boren, who slipped into the Westgate SuperContest under the alias "Biffs Almanac," stared down a 751-entry field and walked off with the season's biggest prize. Westgate's official results list Biffs Almanac with a 61-28-1 record against the spread and a $231,630 first-place payout, and Boren also cashed several in-season contests to push his season haul to $321,630. He sealed the title when the Minnesota Vikings covered in a 16-3 win over the Green Bay Packers in the final week, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Boren, 46, a Henderson resident who works in software sales, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal he "couldn’t believe it" and said his usual wagers are modest. The paper reported he paid a $1,500 entry fee and cashed three in-season contests worth about $90,000, turning what he considered a small-stakes hobby into a very profitable season.
How the SuperContest works
The Westgate SuperContest awards points for five weekly picks against the spread and pays both overall and in-season prizes. The official final standings show Biffs Almanac finished with 61.50 points to top the leaderboard and collect the $231,630 first-place prize, according to Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino. Entrants submit five ATS picks each week, and Westgate runs multiple mini-contests during the season that pay bonus cash to the top performers.
SuperContest Gold also pays
The Las Vegas Review-Journal also reported that Barry Witlin, entering as "Integrity Alert," won the $5,000 SuperContest Gold with a 56-33-1 mark and collected a $335,000 winner-take-all prize. Witlin told the paper the season was "such a long grind," describing an early slump followed by a late surge that pushed his entry to the top.
Small stakes, big payday
Boren’s run is a reminder that disciplined spreads play and close attention to line movement can pay off for local bettors even when their everyday action is small. For Henderson and Valley sports fans, the result underscores Westgate’s long-standing status as a room where casual contestants and sharper players go head-to-head for serious money.
