When tailing someone here on a play

What is the most important thing you consider when tailing? And who are some people you always look at when tailing here and which sports? Me personally, I will go by reputation of certain guys here, people I respect I will listen to, Windy City Irish in college hoops, Motor City Pimp in college football, Dr Jack and secondbase in NFL, Phillybirds in boxing and Wabash in horses, IMO those are some guys that won't steer you wrong in the long run.

Just wondering what are some of the other things you guys look at, feel free to add if I missed any choices. And Rev we all know you fade, I do too, Jack said no bashing today so I'm keeping my mouth shut here

sort of many of the choices.

I have respect for those that post their records, but even some that don't , you pretty much learn who is good for top plays. Streaks as well : Dr Jack, Keith, Ups, etc. for their particular sport
there are many that I look at ALL of their plays: too numerouse to mention

see I don't look at all the plays, too much info clouds me when looking at peoples plays. I look at about 3-5 threads a day, and will glance more after the games are over

what i look for when fading...have a good solid history of being crap...titles of threads that have something like "i am all in", "this is too easy", "if i lose this play, i won't gamble again" and a new one i saw today "if you aren't on the giants tonite, you shouldn't be gambling"

Yeah I do get your point Rev, but taking a look at contests and such here can also get you an idea both ways too. You know I like to do that and that is one thing I liked to do while scoring the baseball contest is riding out hot/cold streaks of guys. Different approaches that are similar I guess

Never once tailed. Fading in conjunction with my own methods, is another story.

i tail in baseball here when i play. I usually tail Belmont. In football i honestly usually play what i like before i even look at anyone. When i first joined I would go with Bro.Love a lot to be honest. Last year I had to tail Jack in NFL cause he was on fire.

I dont tail....I would say that Im most likely to fade GOY's, or someone that is hyping every play calling attention themselves because you know in the long run they will fail. Or the rule of thumb is to always fade UVA3021.....

If i was to tail it would be someone with a accurate posted record like a Gerk, Mendoza or guys with long standing success like upinya, romo,jahred, Dr Jack, etc....... and a few others that have had success with their records for everyone to see.

and the rule on forums should be, for fading purposes.....not to be rude about it and mention names, that is insulting, you should be thankful!.....just let them do what they do.
