Another idea. I sometimes have had the below message appear when I have tried to post a play:

SORRY: Due to the consensus for this game, we cannot accept your pick.

I figures that there are so many people on that play, that Wagerline has taken it off the board.

Does this seem as a reasonable assumption?

Also if this is true, would it be a good idea, that if anyone gets this message, to post it on this forum, so we can have an idea what the top play is on the Survivor contest?

We can play that play at our favorite book.

I am going with the Rangers/Senators under 5 tonight.  I like the 5.5 better with the other game but I am not allowed to pick it anymore.  LOL.  I figure to stick with the under 5, my odds are just better to push now.  No big deal.  Good luck everybody.  PS, the Lakers-Charlotte over looks to be solid....

I am on Valpo -2.5 vs Detroit. I suppose its hard to beat a team 3 times in one season but i think Valpo gets it done.

In the rules for survivor they state that if a game is above -130 they will automatically take it off the board. You are correct that if a game is picked overwhelmingly they will take that game off the board as well. If you check our earlier threads between pages 1-10 I believe I go in depth about how this is handled by Covers. They rotate games in and out at their discretion. Read the earlier threads and if you have further questions I will be more than happy to answer them.

Going for W5, debated btw KU or the over 157.5...I was swayed to go with KU -3 since Mizz has only avg 65 ova their last 2 bad, bad losses....I feel KU is on a final 4 mission that the ZOO cant cage in the Big 12...ROCK CHALK JAYHAWKS!!!!

May the G-Luck force be with ALL the members of the "25 Dime Club" tonight!!!!

W3 after UCLA -2 somehow pans out after their horrible 1st Half performance. And got lucky with a very late WSU turnover at the end!

Going for W7, debated btw Portland +1.5 and Houston -4.  I see a ton of people are taking the Magic -1.5 @ home. I'm not sure if everyone is aware that Dwight Howard is suspended for this game and he's a beast accounting for the bulk of the Magic offense and defense. They will now just have shooters on the floor with NO significant inside presence.  I think that Aldridge and Camby will have a field day tonight.  

I did decide to choose my 2nd pick of of Houston -4.  Houston is streaking nicely and Kmart is shooting the ball well.  The Kings are in a bad funk only able to win 3 out of last 15 games.  The King scorer Tyreke Evans is still out and starting forward Omri Casspi may not be @ 100% returning to the lineup with a stiff back after missing Saturdays OT loss against the Jazz...Let's go Rockets Red Glare!!!!

May the G-Luck force be with ALL the members of the "25 Dime Club" tonight!!!!

Swami. I am at W8 and going Portland +1.5. Without Howard, Portland's front court is too good like you said.

I'm going with the Mavs -7 for W6, I usually don't like giving up more than -6 on the road but the Mavs should be ready for the T Wolves after they blew an 18 point lead against the Grizzlies.

My W5 is gone all because the pretender Mavs can't beat an inferior team by enough. They were up by 7 with 10 seconds left and gave up 2 threes in 3 seconds (2 free throws in between). It took a long time to get that W5, I can't wait to get revenge on this fake Mavs team!
