TIPS MATTER
HERE WE GO!!! Welcome to Tips Matter, mostly a podcast, but may write a thing or two from time to time. We will talk/write about sports & gambling 99% of the time.
This site is going to be for sports fans that are servers, valets, bellman, doorman, chauffeurs (this is my full time job) and anyone else that works for TIPS!! We will definitely finish every show with an email/story from a fan of the show that was stiffed by some ungrateful POS!!! And we will do everything we can to make sure people out there understand how we make a living. I know this may surprise the entitled guests we come across, but THANK YOU DOES NOT PAY THE BILLS!! P.S. Neither does a handshake saying "we really appreciate you!" Can you imagine going to Target, Walmart or Publix & at the checkout lane saying "Thank You" and walking out without paying. Moving on.
Myself and a friend are entered into both the Survivor & Circa Millions NFL contests based out of Vegas. And if you don't know what the contests are - I would highly suggest taking a look at those contests. I will be talking through our thoughts about our picks during the NFL season during every podcast for both contests. My guess is Survivor gets to $20 Million in the winner take all contest. The Circa Millions is $6 Million in guaranteed money.
Rules for the Survivor Contest are simple:
$1000 to enter
-
Up to 20 picks in 2025: NFL Weeks 1 – 18, plus Thanksgiving Day/Black Friday and Christmas Day
-
Each NFL team can only be selected once per each entry during the contest
-
No Rake! – the last remaining entry wins the entire survivor pool: $15 Million guaranteed, plus more if entries exceed $15 Million
-
Entries are eliminated from the contest by selecting a team that subsequently loses or ties its NFL game that week or continues until a single entry remains
-
The contest continues until a single entry remains
-
If more than one entry remains after all 20 legs, the pool is split equally among all the entries that successfully submitted a selection during the leg
-
If all remaining entries lose in the same week, the pool is split equally among all the entries that successfully submitted a selection during the leg
Rules for the Circa Millions:
-
$1,000 to enter, 5 entries per person max
-
Make 5 NFL picks against the spread each week
-
Get one point for each correct selection and one-half point for each push
-
$6 Million guaranteed in total prizes
-
$1 Million first place prize and the coveted blue jacket
-
$3.65 Million in cash prizes for places 2 – 100
-
$300,000 per “Quarter” in prizes awarded every 4-5 weeks
-
$100,000 last place booby prize / $50,000 second to last place booby prize
-
No Rake! Any extra fees go into the quarter and full-season prizes
Last, but certainly not least, I am a HUGE NHL fan. I will definitely be talking plenty of NHL, especially after the NFL season concludes.
If you have any questions or comments please email the show. And please send in those emails about those entitled guests that you encounter that think their presence is payment enough!
