What does Fade mean in betting?

In betting, Fade means going against someone’s pick, prediction, or the popular side of the market. If a bettor says they fade a pick, it means they are betting the other way.

How does it work?

The term is most often used when someone deliberately goes against an analyst, a tipster, the public, or an overvalued favorite. In simple terms, fade is not a bet type, but a way of choosing a side. The bettor sees a bias in the line or does not trust someone else’s prediction, so they take the opposite angle.
