Frequently asked questions

How does Fade the Public Analytics calculate splits?

We aggregate publicly reported sportsbook handle on a sub-hourly cadence. See our methodology page for the full breakdown.

Which teams are the biggest fade targets right now?

The most-faded teams this season — by ATS record when they're a public favorite — are listed on the most-faded leaderboard.

Are these picks or just data?

These are data displays. We don't issue picks. Use the splits to inform your own bets — and bet responsibly.

Are unpopular teams a fade?

Not by themselves. The data signal we care about is when the money percentage on a team disagrees with the bet count — that gap, not the absolute popularity, is where the edge usually lives. See our methodology →
