Fade or Follow

[SkyBlues42]

Just a general question...

If you notice someone touting a record on Twitter, or in a forum, and it suggest that they are on an extended winning streak in a particular sport, are you more likely to fade or follow their next set of plays?

Not saying anyone would even do either, just curious, especially if you HAD to choose one option.

Keep in mind, I'm not talking about someone that sells picks. I'm referring to the general public or someone that has never sold a play in their life. So, if you had to choose, would you be more inclined to fade, or follow their next set of plays?

[also, if you notice some win streaks and think they are worth a look to either fade or follow, feel free to post them in this thread]

I would stay away altogether, especially if they have won a bunch in a row. You have to know that going 12-2 or something similar isn't sustainable and regression is imminent.

Not really what I was asking, but good answer. It was more of a hypothetical.. assuming you HAD to choose one of the two options. For example.. someone says "10-2" last two days.. here are my plays for today... blah blah blah...fade or follow.

Neither... don't believe in "records" other than my own.

But if you HAD to, Jay. Like, the mob abducts you and says, "You have to either fade or follow this guy's pick. He's 25-5 over his last 30 plays. If you pick wrong, we chop off one of your fingers."

Thanks for pointing that out. Sort of a lame question. Just want to know what people would be more inclined to do. I'd personally fade them. I know some like to ride win streaks, but when it comes to someone touting their picks, it's a different story.

Yeah I'd probably lean "fade" as well.
