    Covers please change the rule on your popular Streak Survivor Contest that players need to make a pick that is at least within a week of time.  To allow players to make a pick that doesn't go off for a month or so is just bad.  Let someone else crack the leaderboard and see their name up there instead of allowing some to extend their streak for weeks or months at a time.  Very disappointed you haven't fixed this.

    You have been around long enough to know that's the way it was before they changed it 2 years ago. I can guarantee you the old way was way more unpopular. I don't mind people playing games a few weeks out. I think it's good to have those options and it's only in Football during August and December that this actually happens. It happens in December because of the Bowl season.

    Yes have been on Covers Site a long time.  ESPN has become garbage and I really like Covers as my go to sports site.  We all have are own opinions.  Like many in the Streak Survivor Contest I like to follow the leaders and look forward to see how far they can manage their streaks and root for them to take down some cash.  Guess I just lose interest in waiting for someones pick to play a month in advance.  When Jackson had his streak going it was great, especially since he picked every day.  Good luck to everyone!

    How does this affect you, or anyone else for that matter. Answer--- It doesnt. So just pass him up and beat him to the cash. That would be hilarious.

    Does not matter in the least. Not like there is only one prize and the contest ends. Many many available, they have insurance to back up multiple winners.

    The contest should not make picks available that would allow a player to time out.   With 17 wins he should have been more observant but we all make mistakes.

    I have heard this insurance thing twice now, but it seems like nobody knows how insurance works. If an insurance company is involved and they have to cover the payout, they will immediately raise their rates which means covers would have to pay higher premiums, or the insurance company could just drop the policy altogether. In order to offset that, it is possible that if covers were to raise the amount of wins needed to win, then the rates could stay the same. Kind of like when Tuppy won, the amount of wins needed, increased. So dont think it doesnt matter. Insurance companies are businesses that make money, not give it away.
