I'm curious.  I see these linesman like KOAJ or PokerBroker but they seem to have jobs outside of Covers.  Rizzo though just posted pictures of the Covers office in Nova Scotia
 
So that got me thinking.  What does working at Covers like?  Do you just surf the boards all day or is there a ton of behind the scenes work that is to be done?
 
Lastly, how did you people become so lucky to land a job like this?

As KOAJ said, the boards are just a drop in the bucket for Sports Direct.  They provide newsfeeds, lines and such to many outlets.  Check some of the bigger papers online and you will see info provided by Covers.  I believe the Philly paper online gets thier stats and odds info from Covers/Sports Direct Inc.

No one ever quits Covers.  They slowly come back under the radar or they post as an alias.

I wish we kept track of all the I'm never posting again topics. We could start another board with them.

Those pictures that were posted of the Covers offices were just a ruse.I know for a fact Rizzo sits on a golden throne all day where he is fed bon bons and grapes by nubile women in diaphanous belly dancer costumes while he tosses the occasional  errant employee into a shark tank, while having his boots polished by  oiled up midgets...

He also has a personal sunglass assistant who cleans his lenses 3 times a day with only the purest virgin Egyptian cotton and a couple of drops of sweat from between her big American breasts...

Koaj, do you run on a schedule to be (active) so to speak? I'm guessing it has to be. Handling all of these degenerates has to get pretty busy.
A day in the life of a Cover's linesman might produce a pretty good documentry in the world of sport's/gambling blogging.

I thought that was going to be a joke, but someone from Covers actually posts Youtube stuff.
