Attn all mods/covers mgmnt.....how is this possible?

Just because you can't beat somebody, it doesn't make them a cheat.  I've been close more than once, even took home swag when there were weekly prizes, and I respect the fact that I didn't do well enough.  Excuses and accusations are a sign of weakness.  Same thing happens on stock market boards when people lose money.  Besides, if you think that something like these contests are fixed, I'd bet that you are wrong.  Here's a free tip - Yankees to miss the playoffs, Cleveland to get in.

I have no skin in this conversation but if I may point out maybe a reason, just a thought as I've seen this issue on other sites. Each page we visit on the internet creates a cache in our browser history and sometimes, just sometimes, the browser chooses the older cache to go to. With that being said. When you look at their profile and see the last date they entered (you mentioned August 1st), could it be possible your browser is using a cached version of that one page to continue showing August 1st?? Please note, I have no skin in this conversation and on no sides and not defending anyone. I'm just a person who always thinks outside the box. 

I got a question. What difference does it make if or when a person is online or not? What does that have to do with the prices of oranges in China?

@zillagod

 How do you even know when the person was last online? I dont see that option available here.

@zillagod

 When I click on your name here in the forum, near the top I see

 Ok, thanks for that. Now, I still wonder what that really has to do with anything. 

@zillagod

 If I cared enough, I could sniff what goes out on the physical line when we make a pick to see if it contains our username. If that were the case and someone could hack the Internet handshaking protocol, one might be able to make picks from a program. I am pretty sure that is not happening.

@DeaconBlues2525

 Well, I was thinking that last activity might refer to last post and not when a pick was made. But then again, I really dont care, just curious. I mean, free contest. I am sure Covers is out to get everyone with free contests, LMAO.

@zillagod

 Wait a minute. Yesterday was Aug 23 and your account said your last activity was Aug 24. That was at around 10 pm Eastern time.

@DeaconBlues2525

 Hurry @zillagod, hide the Delorean in the garage!!! 

When this baby hits 88 mph... you're gonna see some serious winners!

@DeaconBlues2525

 You I am following right now, great picks man.

And yes Mollydog is usually in top of every contest. Notice I joined covers in 2006. I have seen MANY strange things in my time but will stay quiet for now as most nobody cares. GLTA ~

@Pullmyfinger14

 the mollydog discusssion has been complained about before .The one I remember had to do w/lines nobody seemed to be able get except molly. It was awhile back .                            

@cheeser

 it actually makes perfect sense if you follow line moves. get a good line service and take advantage of the lag between real time odds and the contest odds. when the don best screen first came out you could do this for real money but not so much anymore. in fact all of the onshore books will boot you almost instantly if they suspect you of being a steam player. i find what he is doing commendable.
