Balt/Pitt

Why is covers not voiding the Baltimore/Pittsburgh picks for Thursday 11/26; Sunday 11/29; and Tuesday 12/1? Instead you are moving the pick as the game gets moved?? That’s not how you handled Tennessee earlier this year? This is overflowing into a new week for people in a pool that has caps/required number picks...?

Vegas would void a bet for a game moved to different day & is how you handled Tennessee earlier this year...why is this changing for this game?

Hello Chadlang,

Books handle these cases differently as some void the picks as soon as the date changes, others keep them active as long as they are played during the same week of the season.

Moving forward we are looking to go the route of voiding all picks once a game moves, but for this week the play will remain barring any additional changes.

 That is not how the Tennessee titans game was handled earlier this year. Covers voided the game is when it moved. Why did that change now? And you are telling me you are going to go back to doing that?

you draw in people with your pools and then run things inconsistently...makes hard to set rules when covers doesn’t consistently handle same situations 

Hello Chadlang,

We handled it differently because the Pittsburgh/Tennessee game and the Baltimore/Pittsburgh game are two different situations. The Pittsburgh/Tennessee game was voided because it was postponed from Week 4 to Week 7. The Pittsburgh/Baltimore game, while postponed, is still being played in Week 12 so picks remained active.

Cheers,

Colin.

We also realize this impacts the 'week' in office pools but unfortunately are not able to invalidate office pool picks separately from King of Covers.

So the game falls under Week 12 on Covers when looking at Scores and Matchups, but in the Office Pools it's reported under Week 13?
