    I have tried many different strategies and systems and none seem to be working. Thining of buying pks from the "Cover Experts". But before I do that, they'll need to prove  to me that they are worth getting paid.
     
    So, for the remainder of September, on a daily basis, I'll select 2 free picks from various Experts. Will not list the experts' names or which games I'm choosing. If I can get a winning percentage of over 55% for the remainder of Sept. I think they are worth the $. (I WILL POST MY RECORD EVERYDAY SO EVERYONE CAN SEE). Those free picks are usually for MLB, NCAAF and NFL. Let's see if these guys are for real.

    Thanks Kong. But every time I go to the "Free Picks" page, it seems like these "experts" are always going through some outrageous winning streaks like 17-5 last 22 MLB games or 9-2 NCAAF. But there's no proof. By doing this experiment, at least I can get an idea if there's any remote possible truth to them...

    I forgot to post yesterday's record. By the way, instead of restricting to selecting 2 picks from the Covers Experts' Free Picks page, I may choose more or less picks depending on how many of their free picks I actually like. Went 1-1 yesterday which means I lost money (juice).

    9/18 = 1-1 (MLB)

    I think you have a bad system...
    Its better to follow only one expert and bet every pick...my opinion...

    Not very scientific, but I can tell y'all that I bought most of the expert picks before starting my own thread and they were break even at best.  I had the same result with other folks on the web selling picks.  Covers is in the business of promoting the guys paying for the advertising, without regard to who is profitable long-term.  Think 'yellow pages'.

    Find someone who is posting live to the public their picks and has a 3-5 year record and I'll sign up (at any price).  Anyone not willing to post their historical picks over a few seasons is either a fraud or not profitable.

    Find someone who is posting live to the public their picks and has a 3-5 year record and I'll sign up (at any price).  Anyone not willing to post their historical picks over a few seasons is either a fraud or not profitable.

    Well said!  PSIC and SDIINC are great to follow!

    I've been tailing the free picks again and so far I'm 8-1 in March Madness! Some of them were just pure luck like the Missouri game yesterday which I had Missouri -2.5 and the Marquette player step inside on the inbound pass.

    We all had some bad streaks/experience w/covers experts, but I just can't help but to think they must be at least a "little" better than the avg. capper since this is their full-time job. right?
