    Good to see you stepping up also

    Excuse me if this was asked.

    How many hours on average per day do you spend on Covers?

    How is it broken down in regard to the job you do and just surfing around this site?

    1] When did Covers first start looking the other way when people are posting false records with lines that are up to 2 pts. off on quarter bets?

    2] What's more important to Covers?....[A]  Making money with a site that offers great information and respected cappers with integrity?.....[B]  Making MORE money by allowing people to show obvious bogus records that make newbies think they have found the golden goose?......Meaning....More followers at Covers= More money for Covers ...Minus the integrity.

     3] Nice job on the Pokerfan deal. ...Do you think that any of the 25 or so that signed up for that ever deposited any of their own money?....I'm guessing NO.

    4] How's this for a new rule at Covers?.....

    Just the same way that if you get boxed you are not allowed to post anywhere else....Posters that are NOT boxed can't post in the box either?  To avoid people that get boxed on purpous...this is the rule......

    You get 2 mulligans....First boxing = 1 week. Second boxing = 1 week...No third boxing...Banned.

    This won't be popular with the Box regulars and those that make aliases just to talk shit in the Box all day.

    You said in an earlier post Wrigs was the last one you thought about banning, i was curious to why you let him live on here at covers.com?

    Also is there a chance he will ever be a mod?

    Is little doubt that Covers has no intentions of cleaning up the mains. Covers is nothing more than a launching pad for tout wannabes and a place where tout services troll for clients.

    The vast majority of posters post absolute nothing when it comes to insight with their respective selections. Most just post some b.s. system or just post plays... am sorry but posting just selections has zero value to anyone.

    Covers has the potential to be much more productive. With a few rule changes and a new attitude of integrity...you could see this place become much more productive and useful.

    Unfortunately I doubt the leadership cares about the integrity of its users...they just want the maximum users and hits they can get

    BTW......  I dont know what it is about this year but Ive already gotten almost 50 people on my $500 NCAA TOURNEY board and the damn toruney hasnt even been set up.  I usually only have about 10 or so people this early.

    I still have all my regulars to get..  We could see a 100k winner this year.......WOW...


    Am I missing something about this year...  Why are so many people wanting to play?  I have 7 women (but 5 are playing w/ their husband also)....  thats what amazes me....


    Should be a very fun year......

    Im reading the thread....

    But almost every question I had is already asked.

    I am mostly interested in things like why covers doesnt put a stop to starting new threads until you have like 20 posts or something, why they dont fix the search engine, and software advances like being able to edit a post etc.

    The vast majority of posters post absolute nothing when it comes to insight with their respective selections. Most just post some b.s. system or just post plays... am sorry but posting just selections has zero value to anyone.

    Covers has the potential to be much more productive. With a few rule changes and a new attitude of integrity...you could see this place become much more productive and useful.

    Unfortunately I doubt the leadership cares about the integrity of its users...they just want the maximum users and hits they can get

    good thread  


    I dont get all into the "investor" type stuff.  Im more of a gambler if you want to call it that.  I will wager on ANYTHING..  We play golf all the time for some pretty good $$$... ( at least it is to me).  So to answer your question...  You may want to ask someone who does this for a living...  That would be my "stereotype" investor...

    I hope ROMO can lead us to the promise land.  But I would really like for us to start "grooming" another QB ..

    Have you ever watched a team play and said "Hell or high water, I'm betting on/against them next game" based just on what you saw ?

    Luckiest game you ever remember winning ? ( I bet the over in a college hoops game last year, and it took well into the 2nd OT to make it.)



    To be honest, I dont think "linemakers" give a rats ass what we say inside the forums.  We have so many members who come and go, so to pinpoint members would be very hard.  I do think we have some very good cappers in the forum but not the "B WALTERS" type who can adjust lines with the simple mention of their name or in our case "screen names"...

    2)  I use all stats when capping a game but if I had to choose one of the given choices it would be the "LAST 10"..  I have a strong belief that teams play different when their hot and cold compared to their year long stats.   The NY GIANTS are a perfect example of what getting hot at the right time is about (when they beat the PATS in the SB)...  The last 10 games of any sport can really tell you how a team is playing at the current time

    3) I really cant recall betting on a team just because I saw them doing something spectacular.  I have a family member who was one of the best QB's to ever play NCAA sports.  So I use to play games he was in because I knew what he could do.  He NEVER gave me any kind of "inside info" or anything like that but I know him very well .. 

    4)  I dont get into all that.  You will NEVER see me in the forums bitching and wishing death and being a baby when I lose or win a game.  Ive been "LUCKY" so many times but at the same breath ive been "UNLUCKY" so many times.  It doesnt bother me at all.  Yes it stings but I KNOW what I can do and I KNOW that its only "1 GAME".  But if you put a gun to my head...  I would say the " TECH/TEXAS game when my bro hit Crabtree with time expiring to win the game"...  I had all kind of bets plus the ML that hit on that pass.  But refer to the top question...  I know what he is capable of doing

    To elaborate on a question I just answered...

    I just got lucky when SETON HALL  hit the 3 to put it in OT.  I had the OVER 128.5 and RUTGERS should have fouled but they didnt and he hit it to tie the game at 128 and more importantly get my OVER ...  Thats lucky if you ask me but at the same time I know I will get "unlucky" pretty soon

    I will step out of order to answer this one....   I will answer a few more tonight but have to get the family ready to go after this...

    I myself wish they would make new users go through a "trial" type membership.  But I dont think its going to change and I dont have any "real" answers for you.. I do know that we have ALOT of "new"users who sign up for contests.  So to not let them have full access to the site would be kind of unfair if you ask me.  Take a look at the contest page.  You will see a shit load of people with under 20 posts but they have been members for YEARS.  Some do NOT post in the forum and only play the contest.  But I wish their was a way to isolate the contest members and our forum members. 

    Search engine --  Ive asked a million times myself 

    Edit feature -- There are a couple downfalls to this..  Lets just say someone wanted to change their post after a game was complete..  Well hell we could all be a 100% cappers...lol...  Do you know how many "future" touts we would have ?  People would go back and change their "write-up" in a New York minute..  Then the forum would be filled with threads of how "JoeBlow changed his UNDER pick to the OVER"....
