#1 Posted: 11/16/2012 6:01:54 PM The guy is 70% this year with NFL picks. You would think he would have to come back down to earth? Just a thought. It's not personal it's just law of averages. |

#2 Posted: 11/16/2012 6:15:20 PM so fade him good luck.
He is a good capper bottom line.If you listen to his comments his reasoning is solid. |

#3 Posted: 11/16/2012 6:26:28 PM Hey he may be the greatest capper ever but 70% is pretty damn good. Just looking for an edge. |

#4 Posted: 11/16/2012 6:49:43 PM Not smart. People hit 70% over 50 plays all the time. Now if you said he hit 70% over a much larger span, I'd say it's time to fade. But no averages tell you that someone hitting 70% over 50 plays must crash back down to earth anytime soon. I've hit 70% of my posted sides this year, but that doesn't mean start fading me. I know I won't hit it over say 5-10 seasons, but it can certainly be done in 1 season.

#6 Posted: 11/16/2012 7:00:46 PM so you figure fading a guy clippin at 70% or whatever, thinking he's 'do' to come back to earth? hmm i don't know about that theory man. i don't fade or follow, but i sure's the hell wouldn't fade someone who is firing at 70%
even if the guy comes back to earth in the second half, and winds up say 60% you fade every pick, you still lose  |

#7 Posted: 11/16/2012 8:12:45 PM I was hoping he would return to 50. Therefore he would need to hit at a 30% clip when faded is good for the fader. Anyway doesn't matter just wanted to get some opinions. I'm sure I won't do it |

#9 Posted: 11/16/2012 9:56:42 PM I wouldn't fade for that reason either sounds crazy to me, sometimes your just dialed in on a season or what not & next season or sport ya come back down. Just my opinion. |

Um why are we here on covers then?  If the guy is so superior shouldn't everyone on covers be telling us to follow him. Hmmm |
