Not an acronym, but what is fading?

[714cuzzin]

what does RLM stand for?...i think fading stands for..betting against a team...someone clarify

[paste_me]

Not an acronym, but what is fading?

Betting the opposite. Theory has it that most sports bettors lose money in the long term, so find one that sucks really bad and "fade" him. For example : Brandon Lang

Reverse Line Movement.

Usually when ever large number of bets come in on one side, the line starts large number of bets are coming in on one side. For example, Miami -2 with 60% of the bets, however as more bets come in the line might move to -2.5 with 65% of the money is on it, and -3 and so on.

In reverse line movement, the public is actually betting one side but the line is moving opposite side. For example people are betting 60% on Houston -3, a day later it moved to 70% -2. This is RLM, it usually means that sharps are on the other side.

[paste_me]

you guys should toss us some points for these

[714cuzzin]

i had a another noob question...line movement ---for example...when a game opens up at -3.5 and drops to -2.5...does this mean bettors are pounding the underdogg in this situation...and my next question is more often of the time should we should usually go with the underdoggs..or is it good for the favor? n should continue to bet favor..i'd always been confuse with this..sorry new to the sportbetting world....need advice.thanks

[Illusion]

In this case the bettors are definately liking the underdog. Especially since the line moved past a key number (in this case 3)

Personally I would either pass on such game or bet the -2.5

I tend to fade the public. (Fade meaning the public is moving on the underdog, so I would take the favorite or pass in this case)

Could anyone help me decipher what this means: 94- Terek Groznyi/Tom Tomsk UNDER 2, 2.5 -114 (Russian Premier)I think the first number 94- is just the number of the bet he made in the forum thread.
Terek Groznyi and Tom Tomsk I believe are the teams.
What is UNDER 2, 2.5 - 114?
Who is he betting for?

Thanks in advance!

Units = $100 for MOST bettors. there are some that use it in $10 increments to sound like they're betting more but it's normally $100.

2.5 units = $250
