Fading select touts... who has done this before?

roundrobin11 · Sep 12, 2012

I know people enjoy ripping on certain touts (which makes sense because a lot of them have no business charging whatsoever). But I was curious that with all the fade talk, how many people have actually picked a guy, regardless of who that may be from the service plays forum, and faded every one of their picks for at least a month or two...

How did it work out for you? How long did you ride it out for and why did you stop?

Just something I've always wondered about, seems like if you pick the right guy it could be pretty profitable

Railbird is the worst...fade him every chance you get....except for little league....

It's not as easy as one might think, a lot of variables.

In my opinion you would make more money making yourself a better capper than you would in hoping someone else remains a bad one.

i have faded b lang before.. but only on a game where i already think highly of the other side of his release.

and i have never done it consistently.. although I have read that like last week guy was 2-20 last 22 picks or something crazy

That's the vital thing here Murph: If he goes 2-22 you're golden. If he suddenly goes 22-2 out of nowhere you're toast.
