I appreciate everyone who has provided me with positive feedback over the last couple of weeks. I was not expecting so much negativity. I have decided that it is time to prove everyone who has doubted me and the information I post each weekend wrong. The next day I have a losing record, I will move on from Covers and stop posting my plays. I realize the majority of you will be cheering against me which is what I want. I can’t seem to find a better way than this to put everything that has been happening in my threads to a stop.
With that being said, I have five plays for today. There will not be late additions, just five plays. I know I will have a winning record at the end of the day, or my time here is done.
