[Stifler's Mom]

Fade means to play opposite of whatever someone else is playing, because he normally sucks and loses.

So if the guy I want to "fade" is on

Baltimore -9.5
Cleveland -4.5
Tennessee +3

I would play

St Louis +9.5
Miami +4.5
Tampa Bay -3

"The books" means the sportsbooks if you bet online, or bookies if you use a local bookie.

A "unit" is different for everyone. It's how much you bet per game. For some it might be $10, and for some $100, or in between, such as $25, or even more or less.

The reasons for units:

1. Because we don't post records here using money amounts. The main reason for that is because it's easy to exaggerate money amounts (pretending to bet $1000 per game) and make yourself look cool....which causes distractions we don't need.

2. It's not necessary to disclose how much you bet per game, and most people don't care to.

3. Units are a standard measuring stick so everyone has a level playing field here when keeping track of their record, for comparison purposes of those who follow/fade the picks posted here.

Hope this helps

Fade means to play the opposite of what the guy has posted. Say in Buffalo vs. Dallas, Shamrock had Dallas-10, you would play Buffalo+10 and fade him.

Books are Bookies whether REAL (your local bookie) or WEBBASED (you can see a whole list of sportsbooks at this site) they are people who take bets and charge a fee ("vig", usually $0.90 for every $10 bet....Bet $10 to win on Buffalo +10 and you win $9.90)
