Yeah bro, honestly I think it looks good. The site is clean, the idea makes sense, and I definitely get the concept.
But my real thought is it might just be a little late. There’s already so much out there now Twitter, Discord, Telegram, private groups, pick trackers, leaderboards, and guys running their own funnels.
And the funny part is, the people who actually need to be monitored and verified probably aren’t going to willingly put themselves on a site where every loss is tracked and they can’t spin the record.
So I’m not saying it’s a bad idea at all. I actually think the transparency angle is cool. I just think getting real traction is going to be tough because the honest guys don’t necessarily need it, and the shady guys probably won’t use it the right way.
Because eventually the market exposes the reality that very few people are actually good enough, long term, to consistently sell picks profitably.
At first, these platforms thrive on excitement, hot streaks, and the dream of finding “elite” cappers.
But over time, results become transparent and when this happens most sellers cool off, buyers lose money, trust erodes, and engagement slowly dies.
Once the public realizes the majority of pick sellers aren’t producing sustainable results, two things happen:
1. Buyers stop paying.
2. Posters stop posting.
And when the community dries up, the business model collapses.
You already saw this happen with Covers.
For a while, their model worked because the forums were active, organic, and community-driven. But eventually they tried monetizing hot streaks by promoting forum posters into paid cappers.
That failed.
Then they attempted to “raise the bar” with the “Covers Legends” concept, supposedly the "best of the best".
That failed too.
You could watch the desperation happen in real time: more branding, more labels, more promotion.
But the underlying issue never changed... there simply weren’t enough people producing long-term winning results to sustain the ecosystem.
Eventually they shut the model down altogether.
And today the forums are a shadow of what they once were.
Years ago, you would see 20–40+ pages of active daily picks and discussion.
Now many days struggle to generate even a single page of meaningful engagement.
That’s why companies lean heavily on legacy branding like “810,221 lifetime members worldwide”.
Because the past sounds stronger than the present.
And the present certainly isn’t the future.
Wishing you nothing but success but be careful how much you actually invest into it.
I hear you brother, I'm not offended at all, quite the contrary I really appreciate hearing your thoughts. If you would like to come over and see if you like the site, I would love to have you and all other covers brothers. Its pretty much why I built it, I thought its something we all could use. In depth stats for all categories imaginable was my main focus, its something that will help us identify out strengths and weaknesses.

I will give it a go Jimmy, when I return to posting, but will be cautious, because most attempts at free monitoring result in failure, and for lack of funds result in being advertising platforms. I am not criticizing in advance, and will be fair in my assessment, but I really wish one of these sites (yours?) would engage in Return On Risk, not "units" which are highly suspect and can be manipulated. There also needs to be a line source, so that all participants play against real, playable lines, not the handicappers imagination or yesterdays opening line, since it was more favorable to his pick.
Best of luck on this project.
