I had a good college football season, a good NFL season because I only bet teasers, and was feeling pretty good. But I can't buy a win in college hoops. I keep thinking wow, if I was fading myself every night I'd be cleaning up. Anyone ever do this? I'm not sharp, I guess I'm a square that has a clue and wins. It seems that all squares would have to do is fade themselves on every bet and they'd win.

I don't think it's possible to fade yourself.

Tough to do. Likely can hit 50% either way.

The worst is when your slumping and you take a week or two off, and you say to yourself who you would have played, but didn't bet on the actual games and you would have won....Then you send money back and lose it...

Worst thing you can do as a gambler, it causes second guessing also

Once you do that your fukkin finished and should not be betting anymore

makes sense, coach. I guess my problem is that I'm betting teams that I don't know very well, and too many games. I usually am pretty selective and bet the Big Ten, Missouri Valley, and Horizon Leagues. I had UIC last night, but what a pathetic showing in the 2nd half.

I think I am going to win every bet I make. I breed confidence and it helps.

Illini you should think that way also

No. The thought of doing so doesn't make any sense.

I couldn't do it, I'd go nuts attempting it. I might try to bet against poster X, don't even like fading someone, not my bag.

The time you begin fading yourself is the time you original bets start becoming winners. If you feel the need to fade yourself, just don't even bother picking your own games. Follow some cappers here and you will make $$$$. I have won 7 of 9 weeks now, none better in my life than last week and am up pretty big again this week. Thanks all.

of course you can fade yourself. If you have a system of logic, selection, traits that can historically hit only 45% winners then you do the same thing (dont change what you are doing) and then play the other side. But you have to do the same thing and that can get hard in your mind to do. But if you have a system or thought process that picks up only 45% winners that is not likely to change and you just play the other side with a smile. Also you have to shop for the best lines, low juice, etc.

It's not in me, I'd second guess myself to death. I can't do it.

I do fade myself, but only via the 3 team parlay. I often go either 3-0 or 0-3. especailly in early season activity. Its called a coorelated reverse parlay. You take one confrence vs the other, it is a complicated angle that is only understood by the triple sharp advanced gambler.
