What happened to the Covers 2nd chance survivor? Picked the Steelers this week and am still currently alive, have been alive since week 6. But the contest isn't currently listed at all, was 182 left going into this week. No upsets other than slight upsets of Seattle over Arizona, Jags over Tennessee and Rams over Bills. So there probably is an lot left out of the 182, if not all. Must be an glitch or something. In the first contest that is down to 13 entries they were all given an X for next week, week 15 so must be another glitch.

 Having the guys look into what you're saying.  But here is the link to 2nd Chance: https://freeplay.covers.com/survivor-games/survivor-second-chance

You'll find it under Contests>Free Daily Contests> Pro Football Survivor Second Chance

@BPD72

 For the 2nd part of your post, Colin let me know that there was an issue with Survivor and 2nd Chance leaderboards that was flagged on Monday, but is fixed now. 

Today 4/24/25 the White Sox at Twins game was rain shortened to 7 innings. I had White Sox +195 (won) and over 7.5 (lost) and each was graded. However, the total should be voided as it didn't go the necessary 8.5 or 9 innings. I checked the rules for verification on this, so it would need this corrected. Thanks in advance!

Hey PlusOdds,

You are correct on this and the totals for that game have been made void.

The game may have been "voided", but it didn't correct the daily units and a loss taken off for the daily tally. I should have another +550 added to the day. Surprised it took almost a week for a response in the first place.

@PlusOdds

 I'll have Flynt check those for you.  It took a week because it's posted within an unrelated thread, so was missed.  In the future, if you could please post a new thread, that will ensure it gets seen more quickly.  Even better if you post in Covers Help forum. :) 

Why would it take someone else to correct an obvious error? This is an easy fix if any of you know sports and know the rules. It's still not fixed even though Flynt has been online since your response.

Hello PlusOdds, I checked the units for that day within your picks profile and you would certainly be missing the 550 units. I have asked our dev team to correct this, I am sure they will get this fixed shortly.

Holy moly! Still not corrected/fixed. How hard is it to get this done?

Still waiting for this extremely difficult fix to be done. 

Still not fixed/corrected....what a joke. Not saying your fault but damn, how hard is this to fix?

still not corrected wow what a joke site

@PlusOdds

 watch your mouth 

Problem in grading my WNBA picks and record and units.  

There’s an error on my page 

could you please fix my cfl monthly totals

I'm in the NCAA covers contest.  Is there a weekly limit as to how many units are allowed or is it between 100-500 units per game?

So I just joined the king of covers nfl contest but don't see anywhere how it works other that "make your picks".

How many picks? Per week? Per month? Per season? All games? 

Why are games showing as pending that were completed over 24 hours ago?

@Flynt

 Doujindesu manga reader, this contest keeps you engaged all season long with exciting rewards.

@Flynt

 please correct my * kawnomomo * mlb playoff score 

I should be 4125 but you have consistenly listed me 500 pts lower than i should be 

So now you have me 3625.   Just look at my daily results for the playoffs and you ll see. 

@Flynt

 Shorted me a win.  Count my totals up to confirm.  Appreciate it

Dear Flynt

I want to raise a fairness concern regarding the Georgia State vs. Arizona State total posted by the user mollydog, specifically the Under 149.5 selection. That number was not available anywhere in the market at the time indicated by his pick timestamp. Based on archived line movement, 149.5 had been gone for many hours. Given the documented movement across every book, it would have been impossible for any bettor—including mollydog—to legitimately obtain 149.5 at the time his pick was recorded, yet the system still accepted it.

Below is the essential market history across books, showing the actual totals available:

Across all books, 149.5 disappeared late afternoon to early evening on Sun Nov 16. By the time his pick timestamp appears on Covers, every sportsbook was between 143.5 and 146.5. Not a single operator was offering 149.5, and none came close to returning to it. This makes the recorded pick number objectively unobtainable in any real market.

This is not a personal complaint. It is a structural concern: if outdated numbers are selectable, intentionally or not, it creates an unfair environment for everyone else operating on actual, available lines.

I am asking Covers to verify whether line selections are being validated correctly and whether users can still choose numbers after they have moved. Any clarification on how timestamps align with the actual market would help the entire community.

The goal is simple: fairness.
