Streak Survivor - Won't Allow My Pick - 09/24/2010 - ????????????????????????

Hey Dudes at Covers

I tried to select the Over 55 in tonights, 9-24-2010, TCU-SMU NCAAFB game and got rejected with the following message here on Covers...

I see 78.94% on the over currently... is that too high a concensus for you to allow the selection on Streak Survivor?

C'mon man... it's just a contest. You won't lose Millions on the game by offering it on the contest.

It makes me wonder if the game will be a snorefest instead of a shootout that everybody is expecting it too be. People are making it sound like it's the best pick of the day.

Nevermind... It just allowed my selection when I tried it again... the Concensus had dropped to 78.91% if that matters.

That was weird.

What the heck happened?

What happened is what you read...If too many people pick a certain selection it becomes unavailable

Why was a matchup removed from the pick sheet?

When there is an overwhelming amount of picks being submitted on one side of a matchup, the game could be made unavailable on the pick sheet. If there is future line movement on the matchup, it could once again become available for selection.


The only thing I can think of is you must have had the page open during the time that the consensus moved and when you finally made you selection it was off the board.

I'm getting the same message right now on the Boise St game tonight (consensus at 79.81 for the over).  I agree that if the game is on the board then we should be allowed to pick it, or at least let us know what the consensus cutoff is for when a game will be unavailable even if it is still on the board.  By also using the consensus numbers to restrict picks we really have no idea how many of the games listed are actually going to be accepted.

try to pick and had the same error and select TCM -17.5 and lost -0.5

If your pick is not available i would suggest waiting and making a pick the next day

Its a freaking contest no plays should be unavailable like that one play is going to help me get 25 more.

fuck these smalltimers.. lol.. As soon as I saw them take thr Troy pick away I put $200 REAL MONEY on it over at sportsbook..lol!  Easiest win of year and UCF is almost as easy tonight.

its doing the same thing for the ( stl, nashville) game for tonight   lame

 

whats up covers?

i need to ask a question about picking moneyline.
say team 1 vs. team 2 are playing
team 1 is 17.5+ and team -17.5. does that mean team 2 has to win witha 18 pts difference or they just have to win straight up. just wondering sorry if i irritate anybody, i wanna be sure . im talking about college football
