Literally only one in the Top 5 has gone 4-0-0 in back to back days in the last 5 days. There were a couple in the 6-10 spots to do so, but that's how one GETS onto the front page of the leaderboard...one picks well. No one on the leaderboard is picking 100%, so you CAN catch up. When you go through 7 days of picks with only one day with 3 or more wins (like you have over your past 7 days), it is hard to gain ground. Since no one is currently over 70% on the FP of the leaderboard, consecutive days with 3 or 4 wins will gain ground for sure. It's just how it works. You can either wrap your head around that and try to remain positive or continue to pick and gripe about it...or just quit and do something else lol. The only way anyone catches up with the leaders is to pick every day and pick better...plain and simple. If one goes 2 and 3 wins back and forth they are basically only keeping pace without gaining. It currently takes going 3 and 4 wins (or a 3-day set of 2-3-4) to see the gap close with any consistency. I've been bitten by the push monster 6 times already along with weather-related voided plays. That's 2 days worth of wins that went up in smoke, but that's how I played them. Also, if you pick the same 4 as any particular user ahead of you on any given day, you, of course, will not gain on them. Adjust and proceed. It's not a conspiracy or anything. We all have the same pool of picks. |

Why are there so many 2-0 winners already, when there are NCAA basketball games that haven't started? I thought it was 1 pick per league? Am I wrong here?????

Living here in Utah, and listening to the radio around, Utah sounds like a great pick. Got them at -4 1/2. Best of luck to all, and lets all have a great and prosperous season!!!

I hope to be as good a man as you someday. If God decides it's your time, you will remain in the hearts of family, friends, and the Covers community. Semper Fi Kemosabe |

Wow! About 77% last month, and I can't buy one this month. God, it's amazing that you handicap the games the same way, and all of a sudden you can't buy a pick......

I found the group, and joined it. There is also a Cover$ Brother$ group on there too.

9 Is nothing to sneeze at my man. You did a great job! I know it's hard when you're close to the monthly and have a good streak going. It's a problem that very few face but you handle it well. Good Luck in March. Also look for us on ESPN $25 Dime Club we're there and we got a great group over there as well. |

I guess that is why this site, and ESPN also, have streak games going on. It is so hard to keep them up. I truly wouldn't have picked today, if I hadn't been within distance of the monthly prize. And of course, he wins tonight, so I am out of the running there, and a streak gone...... Grrrrrrr!!!!!!
So, now onto !!!!!!!!!!

SJewell29's Streak comes to an end. He took the Iowa-Minnesota Under for his w10. But at least he got a to W9 and he gets his hat for his streak! Get back on that horse my man and get another long streak going! WHO'S NEXT! |
