Have you ever?

Jeez that would be rough throwing your self confidence out the window by doing this

jjgold · 12-08-16, 02:02 PM

hard to fade your own plays because of second guessing

funnyb25 · 12-08-16, 02:07 PM

It more has to do with pride and ego. Bury your pride before your pride buries you.

It can really depend on why you make your plays.

Often I post good bets against the market and then proceed to explain, for the most part, why they are bad...whether it be a situation or spot in the flow of money, etc..and it can be best to pass or I even take the "other" side.

Some could argue that I fade myself all too often. My last Monday night post could be a testament to that very thing.

Sometimes it can be just as good to avoid or weed out the losers as it is to find more winners.

It is yet another area where tracking your bets and why you made them can become so important.

What if you faded your faded play, double fade...

For the record I'm on the biggest win streak of my betting career and not doing this myself I've just had times where it crept into my head and I'm sure it has for others curious if anyone actually tried lol

TheLangster · 12-08-16, 03:21 PM

does not work

since you know you will bet the other side you will subconsciously pick bets where you like the opposite

so you essentially bet what you like and are not fading yourself

i understand

i think that fade or no fade, you will average 50% in the long run and get killed by juice, faster if you dont have money managent skills

It's a bit of an oxymoron, so no I haven't.

I mean I've went back, and forth in my head plenty of times. Maybe thinking I want to take this team, but go against it. In the end, you really can't fade your own plays.

kingdom · 12-09-16, 01:23 AM

i've clicked the wrong play before, caught it before submitting, and just that fact runs me off the play.

unluckysob · 12-09-16, 05:13 AM

Last baseball season---lost14in a row. Started a 5-36 run. Terrible month. Never thought of fading myself.

grease lightnin · 12-09-16, 07:44 AM

If you fade yourself... are you really fading yourself?

no1here · 12-09-16, 08:51 AM

I don't believe in losing streaks

Another example of a good bet against the market that failed. I faded my forecast against the total...

It's possible if you're smart and objective enough. The tough part would be putting in your typical research just to fade it. Difficult, not impossible.

I know ya don't care, but I think we're square now (give or take a few).

bottom line everyone loses long term

Auto Donk · 12-23-16, 08:20 AM

ONLY time I ever went 5-0 in beat the Prick was when I went "Costanza" on myself and chose the exact oppositie of what I thought the plays would be......

GunShard · 12-23-16, 10:58 AM

You'll win if you fade the public.
Next time you see a "lock" thread on any gambling forum. You fade it.
