Still think they only make $400k a year JJ? That would be tough to pay a staff of over 100.

LOL

Wagerline is nothing special

We really do not know if they have 100 employees

I have ran cooperations in my day and you always beef up the numbers of workforce to make you an attractive player in the market place

Wagerline had more traffic than Covers when Covers bought them for $1.5 million.

You are falling off your game Coach...get back on the saddle man!

Covers will makes more than $400k a month during football. The CHEAPEST ad spot for a sportsbook on that site is $5k+ a month. The big boys (BoDog and Sportsbook) pay more money than you could ever imagine for their spots.

Covers Experts alone makes more money than most of these watchdog sites.

Clip is right! JJ pay some folks off and update your info!

100 employees WTF?

SBR has 11 (not that anyone cares.:icon_twis )

[jjgold]

I think USA Today get more clicks than Wagerline comparing sports pages. I never liked the losers from Covers and my main men are Statfox

You will see how they take the game over unless covers buys them out

Wow! Thats some serious coin. Then how come they need BetUS's filthy scamming money?

[jjgold]

A lot of scum behind covers

They will sell their soul too get ad money

[SBR_John]

Yea JJ? We have never had any problems with them or know of any books that complain about them. A few have said they are very expensive but nothing bad.

We have worked with them on player issues without any problems.

they used to be selective in their advertisers but obviously with BetUS they can't claim that anymore. That upfront money sure makes people forget about the players they have stolen from.

[jjgold]

Some guys are ok at Covers but most mods and techies there are real jerkoffs

They have lowered their standards for add money

[compaqDikk]

anyone tell clipjoint about the new point system?

[head_strong]

A lot of scum behind covers

They will sell their soul too get ad money

Finally something we can agree on.....

[Shortstop]

Clipjoint is missing out on the Points Program. Perhaps he or she will appear soon.

[jjgold]

Covers turned into the laughing stock of the industry by take adverting money from D books

Mods take bribes, ect

Just pure scum site

[head_strong]

Not only that but if you are not careful they will ban you for posting too many winners, they would much rather have a board full of losers then winners.....

[SBR_John]

Their loss Juicer, you are a great addition here. Although in my many years I'm pretty sure I never heard anyone say "screw them in their shaved gay asses with unlubed black transexuals bending them over...." . probably a litt;e more detail than I really needed at 6 in the morning but hey, rock on!

[BestPlay2day]

Won 3 wagerline caps from them and never received any of them. One was won over 2 years ago and the others over 4 months and 2 months ago. Email them about this numerous times and they never responded which to me means they don't give a shit about their members.

SBR always delivers when prizes are won and this is a much better forum and site. Going 0-3 on receiving prizes from Covers makes me think that they don't pay out any of their contest winners.

clipjoint....funny shit right there. izzat dude still among the living? last i heard he made a youtube video w/one foot in the grave apologizin to everybody he owed money to. that vid musta got alot of views is all im sayin
