Go look at his website for the past week. He wins, he loses, he wins, he loses. You fade him daily long term and you're not going to win shit, just like if you follow him long term, not going to win shit. I don't regret dropping the Baldo thread. From a straight daily fade standpoint he is a waste of time, just like Lang has become/is becoming since his 1 play a day crap.

So are you pretty much throwing in the towel at this point and admitting this is a losing battle we are fighting (trying to find the perfect fade)? Basically we can't find Lang 2008-2009.
Don't take that as a shot, I'm looking for an honest answer because I've been frustrated since September.
I don't know about everyone else, but I'm thinking about dropping the fades all together. I made a nice little bundle on the SuperBowl fading but since then I've been winning-losing, winning-losing. I haven't had time to update Jordan from yesterday yet and I won't be doing it today. Maybe I'll do it tomorrow if I feel like it but I've basically given up trying to win simply by fading. I do very well in NCAAF capping my own game and, even though I had a rough regular season in NFL, I usually do well there too. Basketball is not really my thing but I'm going to be giving MLB a shot this year, so I don't think I'll have time for fading and tracking.
I'm not throwing in the towel, I'm just saying fading DeMarco daily is not going to win you any money.
If you can find 3 or 4 guys that are decent fades and throw them in the mix daily, then I don't think that's a bad strategy. Trying to find those 3 or 4 guys is the tough part. Right now I have my radar on VR in the NBA, Jordan, Benton and the Langatang, plus I cap my own games in the NBA. I'm always looking and reading about which cappers are stinking it up, that's how I became alerted to the fact that VR sucks in the NBA and that Pick 'n' roll was 30 games under .500 in NBA picks.
It's never easy. I look for shitty cappers to fade as more of a hobby than anything else. When I get bored with it or start to lose my ass I'll quit, but I don't see that happening...the losing my ass part, that is, lol.

I really wish we got Cannon's picks daily. Remember that thing about the fades being dead? I don't know where we stood fader wise with Lang in the old says but Cannon usually release 1 play a day and so far in 2011 he's down 579.5 dimes without even really chasing much. He usually releases 20 to 50 dimers and the last 50 dimer he won.

I have time to track one other guy so I'm going to track this Brett Atkins character. His plays are posted about 3 or 4 days out of the week. If you purchase the PickNation package you get his plays so that's a bonus. He lost last night and has a 40 dimer going today. I might try and do some back research to get recent records to see how he's done. He seems to suck though.

Denver Nuggets at Phoenix Suns (-3.5)
No Channing Frye? No problem.
The Suns lost Frye to a dislocated shoulder on Sunday and he is expected to be sidelined for at least to weeks. Enter Hakim Warrick. The former Syracuse star got the start against Houston on Tuesday and erupted for a career-high 32 points, 20 of which he poured in during the first half in Phoenix’s 113-110 victory.
"I got a couple layups that got me going, and Steve (Nash) just kept feeding, and all I pretty much had to do is knock it down," Warrick said afterward. "This game is mostly confidence. You see the ball go in the basket, and you're going to continue to be aggressive."
The Suns signed Warrick to be a poor man’s Amar’e Stoudemire and they traded for Vince Carter in December to replace Jason Richardson’s scoring. Both did their replacement jobs perfectly, as Carter also went for 32 points.
Similarly, Denver has done nice work in replacing Carmelo Anthony. The Nuggets are 5-2 (6-1 ATS) since his departure but just 1-2 on the road in that span. They are coming off a 103-100 loss to the Clippers on Saturday.
Arron Afflalo (12.9 ppg, 3.7 rpg) strained his left hamstring in Saturday’s setback and is listed as doubtful. Afflalo might as well be called “out” for Thursday’s contest and there is a chance he could miss several weeks.
Pick: Phoenix

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs. Virginia Tech Hokies (-5)
It’s March, and that can only mean one thing…Virginia Tech is back on the NCAA Tournament bubble!
Seth Greenberg and company find themselves on the bubble yet again heading into the first round of the ACC Tournament against Georgia Tech on Thursday night. The Hokies appeared to have escaped that all-too-familiar fate when they upset then-No. 1 Duke on February 26, but they promptly followed it up with losses to Boston College and Clemson.
"We have a small margin of error," Greenberg told the Washington Post. "They know it. That’s just the reality of it. But we’re the same team a week ago that thought they were invincible. We’ve got to maintain that mindset, but again, I understand our limitations. But through those limitations, we’ve won a lot of games."
They better win one more game on Thursday, because a loss to a team with a ton of limitations—which is exactly what Georgia Tech is—would be crippling for Virginia Tech. Don’t be fooled by the Yellow Jackets’ two-game winning streak; one win came against a horrific Wake Forest team and the other was at home against Miami (FL).
One of Georgia Tech’s best games of the season was a 72-57 drubbing of the Hokies on January 25. However, Virginia Tech got emphatic revenge at home on February 13 and humiliated the lesser Tech 102-77. Malcolm Delaney (33) and Jeff Allen (25) combined for 58 points.
Pick: Virginia Tech
