We have created a quick survey in hopes you all will participate. We are looking at possible changes to prizing and contests, new and old. The survey is only 5 questions, and should only take 1-2 minutes to complete.
We only plan to make changes, if any that make sense, as these contests are a way for us to give back to you all. Hopefully with your help we can make sure the prizing and contests we have is what you actually want, as well as any new contests we run in the future.
Please feel free to comment in this thread if you want to add any thoughts or ideas that you were unable to in the survey.

One suggestion, please. Next to achievement badges on players profile page, would it be possible to list number of times a player has hit those milestones of 9,14,17,21 and 25? Would be great to see how many time players have hit those milestones. Thanks

I miss the Streak For Cash game. I had a 578% winning percentage. 9,849 wins versus 6,943 losses with 115 pushes.
I have never won anything. Now it is all about betting. Last night during the Bucks-Lakers game Fan Duel says the line is now 10 pts. -Bucks. The game is most important, not the betting. You need shorter FREE contests and more moderate prizes like $5,000 first place for the month, $2,500 second prize for the month, and $1,000 third prize for the month.
Us old timers like to call and meet a real person on the phone. You never answer. No one ever gets back to you.

We have a big group of guys that compete against each other each month. It would be nice to be able to 'follow' more than 20 players. Currently, there is a limit where you can only 'follow' a max of 20 players. I also echo the comment above by Crushalot22. It would be nice to list the number of times a player has hit the milestones of 9,14,17,21 and 25. One other thought, the nightly NFL contests that you had for Thursday, Sunday and Monday night games is great. Can you offer that all year long with other sports? Thanks.

Covers is the best. All the contests are fabulous. Very tuff to win, but tons of great prizes for free contest. Wouldn’t change anything, but a whole year long contest would be great. Something like the monthly contest, with min 20 plays per month, then take your best 10 months of the year or something.
See you at the window.

hi, i was just wondering if the Streak Survivor 100k contest is available to Quebec residents also? i don't see it specified anywhere that the province is excluded, but most websites have Quebec excluded from claiming prizes etc...if someone can just clarify this for me, thank you!

4/9 MLB - I can't pick Oak/ TB ov 7.5 because of consensus rules - 66% on the over, BUT I CAN pick the over for the Wash / Col game at 11.5 at 72% on the over. Makes no sense, and the 66% is BS, make all picks available, no matter what teh consensus is. We all know "if it were that easy......"
Anyway, thanks for the contest, no one should complain about a opportunity to win free money no matter the rules, maybe add MLB runline or NHL puckline / regulation plays that fall within the juice limits

Currently physical prizing is only available to be shipped within North America, cash prizing is available to anyone as long as you have a valid PayPal account for us to send it to. We are still looking into other options for physical prizing to be available world wide.

@Crazy_Train
We are actually looking into the consensus %'s, I believe the plan is to still keep them within streak survivor, but hope to have them more accurately shown. We are looking into a possible caching issue with the %'s not updating on site correctly or quickly enough, which is where not being able to make a selection on one game showing 66% but being able to make it on a different one.

Hey FlynT, thank you for your efforts and all your work in Streak, it’s a fun and great contest. I’d really like to echo Crazy T’s response on the consensus. Has there been any progress made with it?
Im really not one to complain but my problem with it is that it’s not even applied to how it is stated. Often, I see plays within the 55-60% of consensus that remain unavailable when trying to select a pick. Even this week, I had an available play in that range (55-60) but when I tried to select it the play was blocked. Couldn’t we argue that if we had some kind of proof on the intention to select a play that is in consensus range but error on your system, we be rewarded? It can be incredibly frustrating when this alters you to make a different choice or miss out on an earlier game that has the reversed outcome. Also I’m not sure if other users can relate but sometimes I’m dealing with more consensus issues the higher I am in the contest.
Anyway I really do enjoy the contest so I’m glad it is offered but hope this can be improved in the future of things. It isn’t fair to us as contestants when it is not being applied to how it is stated in the rules. Just my opinion.
I also had similar thoughts to Wildcat’s ideas. Also, if you are able to record a winning record for each month of streak for a calendar year, that should score you some merch or prizes!

Maybe everyone is getting better and they don't have enough to pay out to too many winners, hence the the NON transparency with the consensus and games missing and not sure why

does anyone on the covers team know if paypal is the only option for ALL cash prizes? Even for the 100,000 prize or the 25,000 prize? Or would you consider sending a check thru the mail for those prizes

IDEA 1: Why not a Survivor streak contest that is 1 calendar year (or test run it for 6 months?), as well as doing the month by month survivor contest and see who has the highest winning % at the end of 12 months? It would probably keep the attention of the users who enter?
Prize? Nothing more than the site is already offering (if they can afford it).
Suggestion:
Or, in regards to bragging rights, have a page that updates daily as to who has the best Survivor contest winning % over the last 100 picks? (no prizes....just tracking).
