Historically speaking, jcvike28 has had only one bust season previous to starting last year's competition. Unfortunately, however, he endured his second-worst season out of his nine season's of handicapping the Bookie Challenge after he registered only one 6-point parlay hit and tallied only 24 points for last year's regular season, not to mention that he also basically opted out of last year's postseason for the first time ever (only participated in one round of last year's playoffs). But at least jcvike has one Bookie Challenge championship under his belt (Challenge yr #7), which is a claim that only three other active handicappers in this year's competition can make. With that being said, hope springs eternal in this year's competition for the 9-year veteran who has registered four divisional titles over the course of his Challenge career. And like a handful of other hopefuls this season, jcvike is one of those few who has recorded 20-plus 6-point parlay winners throughout his respective Challenge career. In other words, he's still very much capable of making some big waves in the upcoming 13th annual competition, so by no means should he be written off as a non-contender for this year's overall Bookie Challenge championship.
