    That White Sox @ Twins game isn't on the board and both sides and totals qualify. That game is going way over 9.

    Other games too. I'm sorry but there is no excuse for not having totals on ANY game! Why is consensus a factor, especially in baseball? A +320

    team with only 14% won this week? This is already sufficiently challenging, now this? Following a certain team is a fair strategy.

    NOW I know why nobody has hit 25 and only a few have hit 21. By the time someone hits 15, who knows what is done.

     

    I know I know it's free and what you get is what you get and yes I truly appreciate the contest, but come on!

    So I would have won had I been allowed to play the WSox game but I picked the over on the Seattle Texas game.

     

    Unders are hard for me because hoping for teams to under achieve....I can't go negative like that, and I don't think any game that was on the board went over and no sides? I'm sorry, but ALL totals should be up. If a total goes to -125 to -130, just up the total a run or two! I might even had gone to 12 today! I'm going have to go 9-10+ in a row to have a shot at the monthly prize! I know, not impossible but me sticking with a few teams or even a division was working! I've gone over 1,800 picks without a peep from me! It just seems weird. Losing a pick, that's fine, but losing this way..l

     

    Enjoy!

    They only post the games with the closest odds. That's why it's so hard to win.

    Covers isn't out to get you with their free contest. They just have parameters about ML games, like -130 or better and not picked by more than 65 percent of people so when there are small line games they usually go quick as they are posted overnight and picked out while you're sleeping.  Yes it makes it difficult, that's the idea.  You're not winning anything easily... without paying an entry fee.

    @SabrinaSez

     I agree Sabrina; It does appear that they really are trying to make this as hard as humanly possible. Which is their right to do; but it definitely is frustrating to say the least :)
