    What really blows me away is people who complain about the contests here. These are free contests and just be glad that Covers gives you the opportunity to play them at all. They dont have to run any contests at all if they didnt want to, and yet when they do, people complain about some game not being available to pick, or a game that was cancelled or whatever else. It is their contests and their rules, and if people dont like those rules, no one is forcing them to play. 

    I thank Covers for just giving me the opportunity to play and the chance to win. No complaints from me whatsoever.

    I can't pick the under in the Sabre game because the consensus is 63% to the under 




    maybe we should just flip a coin and see if we can win 50/50 picks
    25 times in a row then - waste of fukn time if those are the rules imo

    The really crazy part is I like Dallas today +3,but it aint on the board,because the concensus is on Carolina.So I cant pick Dallas because a lot of people like Carolina,tell me what sense that makes.I dont really care about the part of trying to get 17 in a row or higher,Im more interested in the monthly wins.That part of the contest should be about seeing who can handicap games and pick winners and see who can win the most games in the month.Instead its about who can pick the most winners,picking from the games that nobody else likes.
