To the Covers Team,
I’m writing as a longtime user of the OddsShark database and someone who relied heavily on the platform for researching sports betting trends and historical data.
I understand that Covers acquired the OddsShark database, but I sincerely hope you will consider bringing the OddsShark database platform back to the way it originally operated.
The platform was fine the way it was.
In fact, that was one of its greatest strengths.
The old OddsShark database was straightforward, powerful, and incredibly useful. It allowed users to search historical games, identify trends, compare situations, and dig into data without having to fight through unnecessary changes or complicated interfaces.
For serious sports bettors, researchers, and handicappers, the database was more than just a website feature, it was a valuable research tool.
What made it so useful was its simplicity. You could go into the database, enter the criteria you were interested in, and quickly get the historical information you needed. It didn’t need to be reinvented. It needed to be maintained and improved while preserving what already worked.
I would strongly encourage Covers to consider restoring the database to its previous functionality and user experience, including the depth of historical data and the ability to conduct detailed searches and trend analysis.
There are plenty of sports websites that provide scores, odds, statistics, and basic trends. What made OddsShark’s database different was the ability to actually research situations historically and find meaningful patterns.
For people who take sports handicapping seriously, that capability is extremely valuable.
Please consider listening to the longtime users who used and appreciated the original platform. Rather than replacing what worked. Please bring it back exactly the way it was and make improvements where necessary.
The old OddsShark database wasn’t something that needed to be fixed. It was something that needed to be preserved.
I sincerely hope Covers will consider restoring it to its former functionality.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
A longtime OddsShark database user
