Qualified Posters

Would it be possible for Covers to create a tread where only qualified members could post.  By that I mean only those who have proven their selves by obtaining a "Streak" of 10+ or a similar qualification.  I enjoy reading these posts, some are funny, some get a little silly.  However, most of these "predictors" seem to be just pulling picks from a hat.

@Roundup

It's extremely difficult to pick 10 consecutive winners without relying on heavy money line favorites.

There will be very few qualifiers under that parameter.  Picks will be few and far between.

Qualified, bonafied, modified, and codified.

Only the personified would be disqualified, but don't be preoccupied with the apologized.

@Roundup

 I'm pretty certain that's not possible.  Just like with anything in life though:  make sure you do your own due diligence before taking anyone else's word or advice for something.  You should always know your line and why. :) 

@vanzack

Roundup-by reading these posters, you can garner interesting insights and read respected opinions.

You can also learn what NOT to do. 

@Trooper64

 You make a good point.  A popular betting adage says "bet against the public" I've found that this contrarian philosophy works well in the stock market too.

@Roundup

Hire and work with a sharp on models and picks.  Then correlate with what you see on here, if intent on using covers.

Hey I've been profitable the last 7 years.

@Roundup

 I would be happy with a separate forum for posters that keep units/win lose records

Sporch, good idea, but the problem is the guys who use fake lines, cheat on their records (like lagamebyinches, the worst of the lot) and/or the guys who keep a record but not units and use a -200 play that loses but only count it as 1 loss (again, like lagame) making their record illegit

Like Tammy said, anyone who tails - do your due diligence.

@Roundup

 Have you ever have a 10+ win streak?

BTW, 24 posts since 2008 does not seem qualified to ask for anything.

@gambling-devil

 My best streak was 13.  I won a hoodie.  As for 24 posts, well I guess I'm just a quality over quantity guy.  That's why I started this tread.  To weed out all those coin flippers and just get some intelligent conversation. 

Cut to the chase, what you really want is an easier path to possibly easy money....don't we all. 

From what I hear on golf, and other pods, sobet might be the place for you versus Covers. Check it out. They do most of the things you're looking for. They do track win streaks but 10 in a row is a bit much. I'm sue that was just an example number for simplicity sake.

BOL this season!

@Biscuiteater1

 Idk I feel like if you gave majority here a choice between cashing 60% on Chilean Soccer vs. 40 % NFL they'd take the latter.

@Roundup

If you are saying you are a quality guy over quantity then there are two things will happens:

1) This forum is ceased to exist if everyone is doing the same thing like you - with your many posts

2) You might have some quality win but you can't have a lots of win (quantity) so I am not sure if you could have 13 win in a row.

Since you are saying you are a quality guy, how about sharing your quality picks to all of us. Thanks in advance.

@gambling-devil

 I'm not claiming to be a quality guy, I'm just looking for quality posting vs. the usual fluff.  My longest streak is 13, it's easy to look up on this site.  I really don't think that's unusually high, I never finished in the $$$.  (I have won several hats and a money clip in various contests on this site.)  I'm not looking for easy answers either, just clever, and intelligent conversation.

@NEGolfJosh3

 Hello - have you used sobet - looks interesting - possibly couldnt hurt to come up with your bets and vet against people with a good record but probably can easily find people with good records on both sides of your bet. Killersports was like that for me, found a trend that says team A will win but could find another trend that team B would win
