Has anybody come up with a serious strategy for this contest or is this just a thread for people who like to guess?

We have had some great ideas posted on this thread. One member told us about taking the over in NHL when the line is at 5. Several people have contributed. Why don't you share your strategy Tuppy since you're the only that actually won the Big Money. We would love to hear from you.

I have no set strategy ...my streak came before and during the NBA playoffs...i got on a roll but i never made any pick unless i was confident and i did not make any picks just for the sake of making a pick....(during that years playoffs i had a good feel for certain teams, how well they would rebound from a loss) you have to be a little lucky as well. I always do better picking NBA, one thing i like is the chance of getting a push. So of the 3 results   2 are good for you...best of luck to all.

My only advice is make your own picks dont rely on anyone else and when you find your streak ride it!

I'd like to take Kansas they are only -3.5 against K State and I picked Kansas -3.5 on the ultimate race. However I can't seem to get the game to appear on the survivor page.

I've been thinking of this strategy for awhile and I think I should try it. Perhaps find and follow a team or handful of teams that you know really well and make picks when they play. This would take out all the guesswork when trying to cap a laundry list of games ex. on a Saturday. Research, research, research!

Remember from my earlier post on this thread, they rotate those games. So if you see it and aren't sure if you want pick it open up a new browser because if you close that one. There is no gurantee that that game will still be there.

I didn't open survivor while it was available. Kansas is on the board at Kansas -5. I'm either going with them or Lakers -5.

since this isn't like streak for the cash on espn which most of you are probably in. that's easier. these require real point spread wins which a streak of 7 is a major accomplishment and that only gets you a hat which no one really needs. to get to 20 or more would take an incredible run of luck and only luck. no one can pick that many in a row by handicapping. it just doesn't happen.

Thanks for your input but as usual people that think they know everything are wrong. People have done it and we have a contributing member on here that has won $100K on this site. His name is Tuppy and you can verify this. NEVER say NEVER and never say something is IMPOSSIBLE. If you're breathing anything is possible on planet Earth. Please keep coming back but with a different attitude. Thanks

Your in trouble if you took under 190 in the Spurs game. Specially since they are one of the highest scoring teams in the league. 191 in the NBA isn't hard.

I am submitting this article from Premier Edge's Blog. I think it has some valuable information for our members. Good Luck 3Sers(Serious Streak Survivors) Lets Roll this Week!!!

On a day where lovers are sharing flowers, cards and chocolates, I thought I would share some insight with you.

NCAAB is arguably the most unpredictable sport out there, which combined with a ton of games can give odds makers a tough time and essentially gives us the players an advantage.

There a ton of great tools out there and I applaud Covers.com for providing a one-stop shop to find anything I am ever looking for.
But how do we know which tools are valuable and which will work over the long term?

The answer? I can't give away all my secrets but I will share the results of something I track on a regular basis.

The " trap game " or fixed match has always been a debate with bettors for years and whether or not you prescribe to it, you can make money on it. 

If you use the covers-consensus tool which I feel represents a good, if not better than average betting " likeness " on a side of a game. 

I track the results of what would happen if you FADE the Top % pick each day and the results are pretty alarming.

I will share with you the last 3 weeks results ( 22 games because there was an exact consensus on one day )

N.C State -2.5          (won by 2)      73.43%   
Ball state -2             (lost by 2)       69.67% 
Syracuse -12.5        (lost by 22)      69.97%
W Illinois -3.5           (lost by 8)       69.28%
Illinois -4                  (lost by 3)       74.33%
Cornell -4.5              (lost by 7)       66.49%
UConn -5.5              (lost by 1)       74.05%
S Alabama -3.5        (lost by 6)       72.40%
N Arizona  -3.5        (won by 11)      62.70%
Creighton -5             (lost by 8)       71.25%
Memphis -6             (lost by 3)        70.39%
Idaho -4.5                (lost by 3)        69.86%
Fairfield -3               (won by 4)        66.53%
Uconn -3                 (won by 2)        70.07%
Utah -4                   (lost by 5)         70.06%
Vermont -11.5         (won by 25)       65.00%
Delaware St -4        (won by 8 )        66.53%
N Iowa -2                (lost by 8)         59.86%
Mich -2                   (won by 9)        68.65%
Florida Int -2           (lost by 4)         70.26%
Princeton -3            (won by 30)      69.55%
Memphis -2.5          (won by 6)       68.05%



Couple interesting numbers:    

15/22 correct
9/9 correct when 70%+

All these plays are dogs and 13/25 won outright.

The play tonight would be Kansas State +5.5.  79.10%

@smoothd20.....Will you start fading more of the higher percentages because to me  it seems like the best way?
