Hilarious question. Best idea I ever heard on this was a guy that tried to fade himself, but thought he was getting influenced trying to pick losers then. His solution was brilliant. Pick the game and then flip a coin to see if he should fade it or play it. He admitted it didn't make himself a winner, but it took off all the stress on himself. Before he would blame his lousy handicapping skills or his stupid idea to fade his own hard work. With his solution he so elouqently stated: now I have something I can truly blame...my stupid quarter!!!
