Shari vs Diesel - How much can I make fading him?

[shari91]

So, once again today my man Diesel has saved me a few hundred bucks so far. In fact, fading him over the past couple of weeks I would say he's saved me a couple of thousand - no joke.

As of today, I'm going to start keeping track of the plays he 'makes' and am going to fade him at $20 a go. I know I should probably raise that to at least $100 but as this is just a fun experiment I'll keep it at this.

Because I'm in Australia however, I may miss a few of his plays thanks to the time difference but we'll see how I go.

I would have been up $40 today because of his 2 Raptors 'locks' but since I didn't bet those ones, I'm starting the tally at 0 for now.

And so I wait for the next post....

gl man

should be interesting to watch

[shari91]

BET #1: Thunder -7.5

3 things for this game:

1) Warriors on a B2B
2) Warriors just lost to the Clippers
3) Warriors are a D-League team, they don't deserve to be in the NBA

Can't possibly lose THREE times in a row right?

Shari's bet: GSW +7.5 for $20

[masr]

Good luck...

[shari91]

Result: OKC 117 - GSW 120.

Only wish I'd taken the GSW ML as I was going to.

Record: Shari 1 - Diesel 0. +$18.10

[G's pks]

From what I have read...this guy Diesel might not last to long with real money...

[Masu485]

he may just stop posting plays tomorrow or something

[shari91]

Well, whenever if he does stop posting, I'm still a very happy girl.

He's saved me at least a couple of grand by laying off of bets I wanted to make and/or by fading him and now I'm officially up $18.10

I honestly hope he hits a hot streak soon but I'm not sure it's going to happen. Especially until the playoffs start.

You are a girl??? wtf? girls bet???

. Who woulda thunk it huh? Heard in some countries we can even vote and walk into a bar alone. Ooh, ooh - and we can even WORK some places too!!

BET #2: Brewers +145

Reasoning: Milwaukee is the BETTER team.

I was gonna take a few days break after last night, but I can't pass on this play, Vegas giving it to me as a DOG too.

Therefore... Shari's bet: Cubs ML -170 for $20
I'm already on the Cubs for $300 but I've thrown another $20 on for the sake of this experiment. Must say this makes me feel a hell of a lot better about my bet.

Record: Shari 1 - Diesel 0. +$18.10, one bet pending.

[2daBank]

so shari diesel is on the brew crew? i figure this because that sounds like his type of reasoning...not real clear in your post what Diesel's play is and what your playing, i mean i can tell but you might wanna start making it easier and what price you got for the cubs as well cause a lot of ppl may get confused around here and think mil is the play just looking quickly....i got a feeling as long as diesel stays around your thread is gonna get very popular as fading this mush has been very good to me since he has signed up......gl today

[shari91]

Okay, sorry. The stuff in bold with the screwy font is grabbed directly from Diesel's post. I don't bother with that crap when I'm typing my own words

But I'll post my play right below. Will go back and edit now.

[2daBank]

yea i could tell because i know the diesel very well, in fact i may be one of his 1st faders but others that are unfamiliar with his "sound logic" may not realize that is him

lol this guy is really that bad?

[2daBank]

lol this guy is really that bad?

i call him our resident 17% capper and that may be being a little generous, the guy misses almost every game he post for the last month and a half....you can tell he is a idiot if you read some of the crap he post and it translates into sure losses, i couldnt even tell you last time he picked a winner has to be 0 for his last 12 or so

[masr]

I think he does it on purpose

[B1GER1C828]

3-0 cubs...uh oh tha_diesel might go down 2day too!

[2daBank]

it is really auto-matic ....you got know idea what a clown he is, its actually kinda amazing because most ppl couldnt pick losers at this high a clip if they tried...really to bad someone didnt start this thread sooner because i know im 8-0 personally fading him and there were a few i missed and a few more i was gonna bet then saw he was on it and just passed, all losers

[2daBank]

This guy will make Sheri a star....im on chi -1.5 and ml....this is a great thread Sheri because i would have missed this one, keep up the great work

[B1GER1C828]

5-0 poor guy....just doesnt know what hes doing apparently

[2daBank]

5-0 poor guy....just doesnt know what hes doing apparently

normally i dont like to see ppl lose but if you read some of his threads going back to college hoops and now NBA and MLB you will see he is really a douche and doesnt wanna hear any advise, thinks he knows everything, and the worst is when a team is losing he starts talking about how they clearly bet against themselves, or if his team gets a early lead he makes a thread celebrating and trying to rub it in to ppl on the opposite side...the guy deserves everything he gets

[Marginalis]

This

I think he does it on purpose

[masr]

8-1 Cubs 5th

[shari91]

Just woke up and it seems Diesel's early 'lock' paid off for me again.

BET #2 RESULT: MIL 5 - CHI 9

Record: Shari 2 - Diesel 0. +$32.20

[shari91]

I missed this one thanks to the time difference but I'm still going to put it in here so I can remind myself to find out what happens. Remember, whenever you see screwy font/text: These are da man Diesel's words... NOT MINE.

Sixers +3.5

Reasoning: Take a look at the playoff standings, the Heat will purposely tank tonight to avoid the Celtics in the first round. Easy as that. Kind of embarrassing that Wade would allow this to happen, but it is what is is fellas.

[G's pks]

Good luck but he is bound to win once in a while....

[shari91]

Good luck but he is bound to win once in a while....

And I honestly hope he does!! That's why I'm betting a very small percentage of my regular unit size because he's bound to hit one. Right? Right?????

And to tell you the truth, maybe he'll actually open this thread at some point, see that he's pissing money away by not listening to those posters who try to help him out with his picks (not me, I just stay away) and can finally make some money.

Now that it's a 1pt game in Philly though I'm starting to wish I hadn't missed this play. Stupid time differences.

[G's pks]

true...

[shari91]

Da Diesel has a winner!!!!!

MIA 107 - PHI 105.

Not really the tanking he referred to, but he still won by 1.5. Although he did get saved by a very late 76ers 3 pointer - but a WIN's a WIN!

I only hope he actually put money on it and will start to get a bit smarter with his plays.

Either way, I shall wait for the next fade opportunity.

[tltaylor89]

Who chases with 4 times the money? Awful money management.

[2daBank]

Who chases with 4 times the money? Awful money management.

4x $5 isnt to much

[2daBank]

dont worry Shari good thing is we both missed this play now hopefully this will give that tool even more confidence to fire away and get us paid

[shari91]

BET #3

THA DIESEL tigers -120 (d-train no hitter today)
Tigers -120

Reasoning: Willis will pitch a gem today. Royals lineup is weak.



Therefore... Shari's bet: Royals ML +108 at Pinny for $20
