I am not quite getting the scoring system in this game.  For instance, I placed 100 units on Tampa at -165 and yet still won 100 units for the game...  Anywhere I can find the rules?  Otherwise, I am not sure why it wouldn't be smart just to take the 3 largest favorites you can find everyday...

Matt:

The contests at Covers use gambling terms. In this contest all picks are set at 100 units. If you pick (-) favorites you risk more to win 100 units. For example I'll use the CHC + 108 vs LAD -115 game. If you pick LAD you would be risking 115 units to win 100 units. If LAD lost you would lose 115 units. If you pick (+) underdogs you risk less to win more units. If you pick CHC you would risk 100 units to win 108. If you lose a + bet you lose 100 units. I hope this helps. I'll try to find a link for you to read more.

No problem Matt. If anyone needs more help with the betting terms you can go to the News heading above and click on Betting 101. If you can't find what you need try the FAQ.
