WELL now that lang and quinn both "tanking" for faders, I want to bring out a few points:
LANG= Proven, solid long term loser. I am not surprised by his latest "run." He was waaay overdue to regress to the mean; even he is not immune to that.
I went back (yes, page for freaking page) at lang's fade thread, and added the following paramters to fading:
1. anything moneyline fav he took (besides mlb) I took pointspread dog, regardless of line.
2. I adjusted all plays at $10/unit, with a CAP of $1500. Know I'm sure some people can afford to fade his 150+ unit bets, but for a $10/unit bettor, 1500 is my limit.
3. Every parlay, teaser, futures bet, hedge series bet, etc. all that bullshit is NOT counted. Example: He took mavs to win title +375. not counted. He took atlanta hawks series play for +300, then magic for -150, etc. all that tossed out. If you wanna track those and count for the record, be my guest.
4. In may, he had a crazy 300 unit play on a -300ML in nba (nuggets/thunder game) In this case, as explained in #2, I would take dog plus points (nuggets +7) for my limit of $1500 (happens that fade won. but he counts as 300-unit "win because of his pussy play.) What he counts as a big win, I am sure no one faded him and took nuggets money line for 300 units. If anything, I am sure faders took the points at whatever they felt appropriate.
5. Some early results were posted as "fake" winners. (just a few games) I threw those out as well. Not confirmed, not counted.
6. baseball hard to exact money lines, did best I can using 10/15 cent lines, estimating lines. Not too difficult to estimate lines, but exact line for fade purposes is impossible. But fairly accurate tallies.
7. I made a monthly tally (dollar figure) at how you would do with all of these paramters, at $10/unit. Here are the results:
JAN=insufficient data
FEB= +390.00 dollars
MAR=-865.00 dollars
APR=+3597.00 DOLLARS
MAY=+2023.00 DOLLARS
JUNE=+900.00 DOLLARS
JULY=-745.00 DOLLARS
AUGUST=+710.00 DOLLARS
SEPT=+630.00 DOLLARS
OCT=+900.00 DOLLARS
NOV=+5345.00 DOLLARS
DEC=+ DIDNT count yet but I am sure its the best month because it was by far langs worst. Will do it time permitting.
***Whats great is lang's "best" month you would only lose less than 1k***
Personal note on Mighty Quinn:
I started to fade him last 2 weeks, started great, but a 5-game win streak has wiped out all I won off his fades. Trusted sources across the way stand by their claims that he is a 43 to 45% long-term capper. I am keeping full sport and record tallies on this guy for the whole year. So far (including another fade loss last night)
Quinn: 11-16 (40.7%) fade: 16-11 (+3.9 units, he flat bets all games)
nba: 0-0 ncaabb: 7-8 nfl: 2-5 NCAAF: 2-3.
Have no statistical data from 2011 or b4 to go by, kind of unchartered territory for fading quinn.
