I envy you. I’m in picks league were we pay a mini fortune at the beginning of each season and pick 6 games every week between college and pros hoping to go 6-0. If we do, we make a ton of money. I haven’t done it once yet. Can’t even imagine hitting a full season survivor. Hearty congrats!

Holy shit. Congratulations.

We didn't do the fantasy pools here this year because it cost us too much money with you winning every one of them.  LOL.  Great job!

Incredible - just googled this.

would love to see your 20 weekly picks sometime

 

Indiana Jet is a 51-year-old attorney named Rob (name withheld) who grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., and moved to the Indianapolis area in 1996 at the age of 24.

“It was an easy play for me,” he said. “The Bengals came out early in the week and said they were going to play seriously, and Ja’Marr Chase said he was going to play. I knew the Browns would be resting starters. And then it was announced that Jeff Driskel was going to start at QB for Cleveland, so it was a no-brainer for me.”

It also ended up being a laugher as the Bengals dominated from start to finish, jumping out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter and 24-0 at halftime. They extended it to 31-0 in the third quarter before the Browns finally scored two garbage TDs in the fourth to officially clinch for Indiana Jet and JAX JAGS with the 31-14 victory.

Indiana Jet was playing Circa Survivor for the third year after first hearing about it during the inaugural 2020 season on VSiN’s “Follow the Money” show with Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard.


“I’m one of those guys who gets up in the morning and listens to sports talk radio in the morning,” he said. “It was very exciting and I knew I had to get in it the next year.”

He is slated to appear on FTM this upcoming Friday when he returns to Circa to collect his “big fake check” at Friday night’s annual awards ceremony at the D Hotel in downtown Vegas and his real check.

This past summer, Indiana Jet bought seven entries when signing up with the Winners Circle Proxy service. Nevada rules require contest entrants to sign up in person at a brick-and-mortar casino but can then hire a local proxy to put in the weekly selections within the state’s borders. JAX JAGS also used Winners Circle while Circus Master and LAJONESER used Tom Carroll’s Vegas Football Proxy.

Indiana Jet was obviously thrilled to clinch in the early games as he sipped champagne with Circa owner Derek J. Stevens in the back of the sportsbook.

“It’s a relief,” he said after the toast in front of TV cameras and a mix of national and local media. “Survivor is a lot of stress. I’ll sleep well tonight for the first time in a long time.”

It was a grind for Indiana Jet as Rob said his seven entries were down to just two heading into Week 5. He then lost another with the Commanders in the Thursday night game that week as they were shocked by the Bears in a 40-20 rout to leave him with just a single entry.

“I decided I would just go with the best play,” he said, “and that was the Lions [who routed the Panthers 42-24 in Week 5] that week.

“There’s a lot of strategy involved in this game, but a lot of it comes down to luck – bad calls, injuries, tipped passes, fumbles at inopportune times. A lot can go wrong. ”

“I was very lucky to survive the rest of the way with my last entry.”

All four had the Bengals available in Sunday’s early 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT window, but only Indiana Jet and JAX JAGS used them while LAJONESER and Circus Master opted for the Raiders in a game starting at 4:25 p.m. ET/1:25 p.m. PT.

@IndianaJet You should use this as your excuse to become a Bengals fan.  It would be 2 major victories for you in the same day!
