sorry i couldnt post yesterday having internet problems hit on the Rangers ( if i cant post check my plays in the contest for the night ).. tonight its the Canucks - 110 ( just a trend to watchout for I do like this matchup however canucks tend to lose every single last game of all their road trips except for I believe one time this year vs the Pengs - with that said i believe this is the easiest game out of the last 5 on the road they have played and have really been playing well the past couple games and I think they can continue their play tonight against the Wild - they own minn @ home ) BOL

Hi guys- great job on the contest so far...you guys seem to be consistent hitters and your show is very entertaining. I was meaning to post this a while ago - Teddy mentioned a few weeks back about being scammed by Jeff Allen, etc. when he was young and how documented records are key for a handicapping service. You guys should get Covers to install the software that these guys are using (sorry, I don't know what it's called):
I think you could build up your client base a lot with this level of documentation, after the contest is over. I think you guys are the real deal, and you can prove it to any doubters. Thanks for the great plays so far!

Rockwater- changing the software in covers will not ease a person's natural distrust of touts. Nor will a more detailed breakdown of the records (garbage in, garbage out). What people distrust is the record itself.
That being said, Covers has a long way to go when detailing the records or past performance of the paid touts. It is crazy that you can track the daily records of tens of thousands of people in the office pools and the Covers contests down to the most minute detail, but when you deal with the paid touts, you are left scratching your head wondering if all of it is b.s.
The paid touts would make plenty of money just selling their picks if they just did what they do on other sites. That is to tell people the game(s) they have targeted. Then give people the opportunity to purchase the pick(s). If you purchase it, you see the actual pick. If you dont purchase the pick, then two minutes after the game starts, you can see the pick. (Obviously, you cant wager on it since the game started). Everybody would win. The tout loses nothing by simply revealing what his pick was after the game starts. It's open, transparent and VERIFIABLE and the same technology exists on the same website. It's so simple, but it will never happen. Then again, Miss Cleo made millions swearing that she could predict the future at 3.99 per minute. She didnt bother trying to verify her claims, she spent her marketing dollars looking for people that didnt know to ask.

Spot on. At least one of the sites I listed does exactly what you describe (although the pick is revealed after half time, it is still way before you can tell what the result of the game is going to be in most cases - from what I can tell it is part of the software). I don't think Teddy nor The Prez are scammers, but the current Covers Experts system doesn't really do anything to separate them from the scammers.
