The 80-20 rule.
The Pareto principle is a principle, named after economist Vilfredo Pareto,
that specifies an unequal relationship between inputs and outputs.
The principle states that 20% of the invested input is responsible for 80% of the results obtained.
Basically giving a specific fade play a fancy name with this well used business principle.
20% on one side, 80% on the other. The 20% equals the result.

When were these examples

Last time the Spurs played on a Thursday at home off a loss was 29 May, 2014. They won by 28.
Just saying different circumstances, Spurs played some of their worst defense of the season in the most recent loss to the Bucks.
Pops should have lit a fire.

Most recently was 23 December, 2016.
Lakers lost to the Magic by 19 before playing the Clippers.

Pounding the Rock is routinely wrong with their score predictions as most bloggers are.

Like the spot but hate the line. Good luck with it.
As for the 'Pareto plays', I used to work for a company where 'the 80/20 Principle' was required reading for all employees. Then I watched as it was continually misapplied day in and day out.
Just so I understand, when you say 20% on one side and 80% on the other, are you referring to bet counts?

Obviously I've used it loosely in this instance. Playing on the 80/20 aspect.
So far the 20% is on a 11-0 ATS run, probably better than that but that's where it's at since I started tracking.
Back in the 'Blankets' days we called them 'Cut Plays' where a poster 'AnnaFan' used them religiously until they started shitting the bed.

I've heard this before but never tracked it mainly because it's cash that really counts IMO. EX: The Packers this week have 79% of the tickets But the Cowboys have more money on them. Also to add the line has gone up a tick on the Cowboys. Not knocking anything because whatever gets you to the winners circle is all that matters and everything usually works for a time. The smart person knows when to get off and go the other way or stay away completely. Just curious where do you get your %'s

Fading the public worked great in the early internet years, then it went to crap for the most part.
Right now it's having a revival in the NBA mainly due to the Cavs and Dubs. They are responsible for the majority of this streak.
It has never really worked in the playoffs btw across all codes. Limited games and the best team usually wins, %'s mean nada.

Thanks very much for your quick reply and best of luck with the Spurs tonight. Lets bring it home!
Mostly Cavs and Dubs makes sense. I ask because there was a time I would look at 65% or more with the line going the other way as with the Boys this week. As gamblers we're always looking for something and they do work for a time. Just like the Casino Business all the systems that people come in with will work at some point.The downside for those people is thinking they found the Holy Grail.
Good talking to you.

Was a dude from Germany infatuated with Anna Kournikova.
Was also one of the first gambling forum trolls. These fade guys are unstable.
Thanks, I knew what the Pareto principle was but not how to apply it in this instance. Nice win with Spurs.
