Just like betting - it is a numbers game. If Covers had the internet audience of ESPN, they would probably get clipped at the same rate. But then they would adjust their prize accordingly -or as they have donee in the past (I think), just bump the streak number higher

you can find way bigger favorites and take them straight up. ESPN doesn't go ATS
They do sometimes in two ways One way is a set spread right next to a multiple of 5 except 5 itself aka Win by double digits/Win or lose by single digits = 9.5 spread, Wins by 15+, 20+,25+ etc vs. Any Other Result = 14.5, 19.5, 24.5 spreads, etc Set spreads will always be 9.5, #4.5, #9.5.... never anything else like 7.5 11.5 or any full number since it creates an unnatural push situation. They also do mystery spread props which I don't like aka 3 pointers made, free throws made, field goals made, points scored etc vs. winning margin. I call those props mystery spreads since the spread at the end will be the # of 3 pointers, free throws made etc for the non winning margin (the straight up underdog) team and unless you think the non winning margin team is going to win you have to figure out 2 things instead of 1. Initially it created a natural push situation 3 pointers made team make 4 3s loses by 4, free throws made team makes 13 free throws loses by 13 but now to my discontent have included the ties to one side almost always the non winning margin side. Anyhow though there could be a 4-7 point favorite straight up but always ATS here, although that spread could change and some people win and others lose taking the same team in the same game. Another tricky part is getting the best spread, is it the best now or later. I remember the then New Orleans Hornets were -1 on here against the Utah Jazz and I took them either on survivor and/or the NBA contest, later it became -2, then -3 and finally -4.5. They won by 4, counting as a win for -1, -2 and -3 picks and a loss for those who had -4.5. Plenty of times on that NBA contest I have been getting bad lines aka Heat -1 against the Timberwolves later became +1.5 and +2 and they lost by 1, making my pick a loser but other Heat picks winners. The Warriors recently opened up as -12.5 favorites against the Knicks but I did not hear about if until a thread mentioned them being "only -14" and when I found them they were -14.5, guess what of course they won by 14. GS -12.5 to -13.5 picks won, -14 plays pushed, I lost.

if it's so easy "than" why aren't you doing it? You were talking ish about Brackson or whatever his name is, but on the story about his Vegas trip, one of the first comments below it was you sucking on his D. I remembered just days before you were talking ish about him. You fake. The dude deserves props because not only did he do it, he did it in consecutive days. He didn't wait and pick his spots. You couldn't hold his jockstrap.
