    CHEATING by contestants on covers.com

    I'm guessing that several posters on this forum take part in some of the contests on covers.com. For example, the Ultimate Race, Survivor, and/or League Contests.

    Is anybody else aware of the blatant cheating that occurs by some of the contestants?

    Specifically, some contestants are able to select lines that have moved by several points, several hours after they moved off of that number. For example, using an opening line on a college basketball total, even though the current line at the time of selection is, say, 5 or more points higher or lower than the original line. Their selection is always in the same direction as the line movement that occurred.

    I have closely observed contestants that do this by noting the time of the selection and what the actual line was at the time. The numbers often differ dramatically.

    One of the contestants is actually a "covers referee/linesman" (and maybe has access to the line database?)

    I have contacted covers.com on several occasions, and they have never responded......

    Tried to introduce my allegation directly to them, but no response. Also deleting my posts....appears that they are aware of it but don't want to expose what's going on there. Since they are shutting this exposure down "across the street" ... was curious to see what feedback I might get here.

    To be honest I don't think many of our members go over there very often, if at all. We offer plenty of contests here so stick around if you like

    Probably a contest here tomorrow but you'll need to go Pro 100 bones to charity . It's the give that keeps giving since it pays for itself .
    Lot of free shit weekly and big contests yearly .

    Thanks, just learning about all you have to offer (first came to SBR when using your extensive ODDS database, which I really find handy)

    Based on the initial responses to my post, I see what you're sayin' --may not be much overlap between the two sites....

    You're right, I'm thinking that this "referee/linesman" that is a blatant cheater is someone that "works for" covers. Also would explain the cover(s) - up and unwillingness to investigate my allegation.

    Covers.com is a scam. Just like pregame.

    To be honest the “expert picks” on SBR are a scam too, but at least you don’t have to pay to see them.

    All Day, All night SBR for me.


    Who could imagine that a gambling site would have questionable, unchecked activity
    in a sponsored contest?
