Can someone please explain the term fade? I have read this term several times in some recent threads. I don't recall it ever coming up during football season.

Thanks for the words of wisdom...

Welcome to the Rx. Notorious. When you fade some one you bet the opposite side that person or handicapper recommends you to play. For example If you see a certain handicapper who you don't feel is going well you might want to "fade" him. If he says play the Eagles plus 7 in the super bowl in order to fade him you would take the Patriots -7.

There is another older definition to the word fade which I believe comes from craps originally - When a shooter rolls a come out roll and lets say it's a 6 - other players around the table will say OK your 6 and the odds behind it are faded, meaning they are betting you will roll a 7 before you roll the point which in this case is a 6.

Essentially to fade another gambler is to bet opposite him no matter what the game or sport. We could be at a baseball game and I might say $10 says this guy strikes out and you could say OK your faded. Meaning you accept my $10 bets. Usually odds are involved in this type of fading but that is another subject.


I hope you enjoy your time at the Rx. best of luck , wil.
