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......
