You answered your own question.

I've never seen anything like it. The past week has been nothing short of astonishing.

advertised himself well at the early stages of internet marketing era

that dude lang was on every week on sny last year (new york sports channel) and he would make his weekly picks and I never heard of him till he was on that but he was just as bad last year as this year

His plays are posted regularly in the Service Plays forum. There's people there who fade and are getting rich.

It's true though, I have no idea why everyone does not do this. It's 100% money it seems.

It's unfortunate that touting is nothing more than a marketing scheme/gimmick and had little to do with picking winners. The business is pretty simple for scum bags like lang. Simply manipulate the uneducated. It's a matter of covering up loses and promoting wins. If he hits 46% and makes 2-3 plays a day it still gives him a lot of winners to boast about. Unfortunately these types are very
convincing they win more than they
lose which is totally false. Naturally you
have to look much harder for his losing
picks while his winning ones always surface. Lang offers a great product for fading purposes only. Hopefully someday this will be the only way he sells picks.

Guy is absolutely incredible. I keep thinking, "oh, he'll have some crazy month or two and win a ton"
and it never happens.

If people are seriously fading this guy for decent amounts they are making crazy money.

Like alot of guys he had one sensational year and has been below average ever since.

few years ago poster cloak and dagger i think tracked his plays on the main board, loses were staggering

NYSportsGuy210 · 12-21-11, 02:01 AM

Anyone have a link on this forum to the thread of people who post his "fade" picks?

GamblerSpirit · 12-21-11, 02:06 AM

Seriously. This guy wouldn't be able to track a Goddamn elephant through snow.

And yet hes famous, they made a movie about him? Everyone in the handicapping business knows who he is, it makes no sense to me.

Its seriously uncanny how bad he is. Its astonishingly amazing how bad this fukkin guy is. In my lifetime I would guess Ive seen people post maybe 40 of his plays, my guess is he is around 7-33. Its incredible.

Maybe there is some merit to "Just Fade Lang and Get Rich".

Someone should create a thread and post his play in it everyday.

where the hell have you been? such threads have been ongoing for at least the last 4 years at all the major forums

I have a theory that sportsbooks pay some touts who have massive followings to give out certain sides to a game.
