The Big Show is drawing near. The NTRA/DRF Handicapping extravaganza. Most of the Best Handicappers in the World are coming in to town ( Vegas). All vying for the opportunity to say they are officially the Best Handicapper in the World for at least one year.

Purse money has now reached the level where even the BIGGEST OF EGO'S would readily admit, "You can have the trophy and title, just make sure the check is signed".
