shorting UVXY, DUST, etc. for decay?

has anyone had any success in shorting ETFs/ETNs such as UVXY, DUST, etc. to make money off of decay? seems like if you waited for a peak and shorted there, it would be hard not to make money off of the erosion of the time value portion of the futures they invest in
