Follow him on Twitter and you will get his plays instantly. He announced his lean before the game.

He answered exactly what you asked. You don't have to pay but you can donate IF YOU WANT. The reason he has this website is to have full control over the medium in which he displays his picks and sheets - plus Google Docs couldn't handle the traffic of so many people checking out to sheets. Not to mention the fact that Covers has really gone downhill and si1ly has been pretty vocal about it.

I was able to access the site on my smartphone and it doesn't look amateur to me at all (a couple display issues on mobile but obviously it's not optimized for that). I think it's very slick. I have done some development using content management systems before (mainly Drupal) but I hadn't heard of Wix. Pretty slick. If you want some type of discussion forum there are definitely some options out there. Twitter would blow my mind. If you were willing to tweet when you locked in plays or sheets went up it would be amazing. Even just tweeting "New pick locked in" so we would know to go the website would be crazy. I'm so sick of checking Covers 20x a day.

Building this website enables me to not only share the breakdown sheets, but all of my research on a much better platform. It was a necessary step. I realize what this means for my relationship with Covers. It's unfortunate, but I understand the reasons behind their rules. I had a terrific experience as a member of this community. It will be difficult for me to let it go. It's funny because I've had this big idea of you starting a website for your picks that you have control over... and you did it. I think this is a really smart move for you and I know this is going to take off. Can someone ping www.breakdownsheets.com and give me the IP address? |

Thanks for everything you've done so far here. I caught the tail end of your 4 years but it was a lot of fun. Are you going to keep up the same type of thing with your new website? Is there a forum for discussion or anything like that?

I'm just seeing a page describing how to connect your domain to your Wix site.

NOT TO DERAIL, but check this out guys:

We do apologize for the inconvenience but want to ensure you that your experience on our site is our top priority. Bolded for emphasis. I don't really mind that they are banning the NSFW avatars because it makes it easier to view these forums at work \ in public but I really hate their reasoning for it. |

However, Chicago is still -3.5 and the line is all the way up to +108 in some places (I got it at +104). I'm Canadian though so I have access to more books than you guys.
