Bogus lines

Can we PLEASE stop posting bogus lines in office pools? Several games a week there are lines 4-5 points off what any other book is offering and then boom it magically fixes later in the week. This is super frustrating- seriously considering my pool of 50+ never using covers again. 

Please fix my goodness. Half the lines are bogus.

Alabama still listed at -3.5. Numerous others off. Don’t post them if you are going to have issues. 

Hello CLTide,

These lines have been made void and we are looking into this issue.

@Flynt

 There are still more that are bogus. But it’s hard to track because they screw up 5 at a time. I know someone in my pool has Ohio State at +7.5 which is bogus 

Ill take a look into this, we made adjustments and hope to have fixed the issue going forward.

please continue to report any issues you find, we appreciate you bringing these to our attention.

Same issue with NFL lines. There are spreads listed at 20+

Please fix thank you.

Thanks for sharing this omb1, will be voiding these picks as we continue to work on a solution.

Can you void these picks now so people are able to go back and pick those games with the legitimate line? Or will it just void after the game is over?

Hey CLTide,

We are working on getting the correct line to show in the contest, as if I void these picks on the incorrect line and it is still considered an active line, it will continue to allow users to make a pick on it. Once the correct line shows we will void the line so that users can continue to make a selection correctly.

Flynt,

can you also look into the bogus lines at streak survivor? the dingo8 has a lengthy streak mainly because of bogus lines and they have not been voided

Hey revnecro1273,

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I will take a look now and void any picks that were never available.

@Flynt

 We have two cheaters towards the top of the leaderboard in Streak Survivor. User thedingo8 at 13 wins currently has Calgary +13.5 for CFL (actual line is Calgary +3.5). Second User Dalmeetz48 at 8 wins currently has BYU +2.5 for NCAAF (actual line is BYU -7.5). And thedingo8 last two wins were both bad lines that were accepted as wins

Thank you Flynt for doing the right thing and voiding the picks. Hopefully people will stop trying to do this in the future 

Thanks for sharing this with us as well tylerb2115, ill look into these and void where needed.

@Flynt

 i think if you are going to void winning bogus lines, shouldn't you also void losing bogus lines?  just straight void regardless of whether they won or lost

@CLTide

 I have been playing a maxxed 20 pick NFL contest.

O/U  & ATS

BOGUS LINES and users above 20 pick restricction is making a Mess.

We are 170 ppl,  this is our 17th or 18th year.  If you know of another contest option / Page   plz give advice.

Covers Staff seems to be lost. It is sad, but it is true.

@oluebbert

 You let me know as well. I have been on Covers since 2011 and had little to no issues until the past few years. It is very frustrating. I like Covers and we are all used to it so I hope this can be fixed! But it would be a whole lot better if everything was just prevented. It shouldn’t be hard for a betting website to put out good lines. We aren’t asking a lot. 

Still have picks in both of the Our Gang NFL office pools that haven't been voided...any ETA on a fix?

Thanks CT

Hello omb1,

I am seeing picks marked as void in the office pools you are referring to. If there was something specific that isn't showing as void, let me know.

@Flynt

 Hi, the main issue  is that main contest Page ( in our office pool) is counting the VOIDED picks as good.

Our league setting is set to a MAX of 20 picks per week

Example #1 : Leader ir shown  with a 20-5 record.

Can you fix the whole pool records? Or do we have to deal with this on our own.

Our league is NFL SENTIMIENTOS , This is our 18th or 19th year playing this contest. We are the largest private pool here since 2012.

Please let us know if this is fixable.

Thanks in advance 

@Flynt

OK Flynt you asked for it. Here are all of the existing errors in my two pools:

"Our Gang's 26th Annual Football Pool" please correct to 10 picks max per week.

username PennStateNation: 11 overall picks with no voids. Please void the NY Giants+2.5 win against Dallas.

username UFG1: please void the Dallas +20.5 win against NY Giants.

username BatteryMan: please void the Dallas +20.5 win against NY Giants.

username kickstandrocky: 11 overall picks and one void. Please void the Denver +2.5 loss against KC.

username Dirtydawg: 11 overall picks and one void. Please void the Dallas +20.5 win against NY Giants. Please void the Denver +2.5 L against KC.

username Bmango55: 11 overall picks. Please void the Philadelphia -4.5 loss against Washington.  

username piratescott26: 11 total picks. Please void the KC -2.5 win against Denver.

username Nolagrrl: 13 overall picks with two voids. Please void the DAL @ NYG Over 48.5 loss.

username GMan57: 11 overall picks with no voids. Please void the NY Giants +2.5 win against Dallas.

username DadMadeMeSignUp: Please void the Dallas +20.5 win against NY Giants.

"Our Gang's 11th Annual High Roller" 10 picks max per week. Scoring looks OK but can you make sure it is set at a 10-pick max.

Thank You!

Our pool still isn’t voided either. 

@Flynt

 Bumping this Flynt, I provided all the info you asked for. Please advise on correction status.

Hey oluebbert, These picks should be corrected in records/completed picks now.

omb1, taking a look into these now, will get it corrected.

CLTide, these should be void now for the poor NFL games.
