Fade
1 min read
In poker, to fade means to dodge certain unfavorable community cards.
In the context of gambling and sports betting, the term "fade" refers to the strategy of betting against a particular team, player, or outcome. For example, if a bettor decides to "fade" a specific team, they would place a bet that the team will lose. This strategy is often used when a bettor believes that the odds or public perception are skewed in favor of a team or player, and they anticipate that the outcome will be different from what is expected. Fading can also apply to betting against a trend or a popular betting consensus.
