Please post any systems or ideas that you have to help the other players on the site build up serious streaks."
Who knew that that invitation would be answered and followed by so many over the years that would pass?! We should have all seen it coming, but I think we all knew, even then, that this straightforward, elegant invocation would incite so many to great things on this game we call Streak Survivor. A brotherhood was born!
Thank YOU, SmoothD20!
Thank you also $25 Dime Club Founders, brothers, followers and even the silent readers who never post, but illicit good karma with their energy. There is a reason that this thread is #1 on Covers. In a word, it is positivity. You will never find a more upbeat place on the web to discuss how you feel about sports contest picks and sports issues in general.
Here's to the continued evolution of the $25 Dime Club! May we live long and prosper!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY $25 DIMECLUB!
GOOD LUCK!

Crush! You and I are hooked at the hips. We were separated at birth I think. I can't wait to have that Hangover weekend down in Vegas with you guys. Thanks for your loyalty and support in all my crazy leagues. Truly a pleasure!

Sorry bro, I have to disagree big time. It may seem like a coin flip, but there is some serious strategy and study time behind the best picks. I myself have a system and trust me, there is some real skill involved. I put A LOT of time in each one of my picks. It's a lot of hard work and dedication

...(accidentally hit the submit button)...like I was saying, you got to put in work to get the results. I haven't been putting my picks here on Covers for too long, and a lot of picks I make are usually inside of 15 minutes before the games start (as we know you can't put picks in on covers during "pre-game" but if you click on my user name you can see a small sample size of what I do. Covers gots me somewhere around 60-61% hit rate.
Since I've been finally recording myself I'm 331-223-27 in NBA (started recording Feb. 2nd 2014) good for 59.74% and for the 2014-15 NBA season so far I'm 152-99-13 60.55% and 12-4-1 NFL this season (I really just stick to NBA action). All those #s are pretty consistent with the smaller sample size that's recorded for everyone to see on here in my profile.
Point is is that it's not a coin flip and I put in hours every day/night to get this good and I'm just getting better as I learn more and adjust my system. I mean, coin flips are 50-50, I'm over 100 picks above the typical .500 +/- that even some of the best on these leader boards are. I'd say that's much more then a coin flip.

Well as we all know Brackson13 didn't win the big money but he left the building with $25,000 in cash and is the new All-Time King of Survivor! Not a bad deal at all. Good Job Brackson! You have been an inspiration not only in your streak but how you have carried yourself throughout. Enjoy that cash!
Enjoy that cash!

apparently Covers got Brackson to go to Vegas too...
maybe I have time to meet him Sunday.. I doubt it though.. Sunday is going to be ridiculous as it is. 
wonder how many Covers members are in Vegas this weekend?
good luck to all this Sunday
That's very cool of Covers to send Brackson to Vegas!
