    Atention SBR staff remove consensus please

    The Consensus you have in the sports betting department is Worthless with a capital W. WHY??? because it is always 5 days behind on actual percentage thus making it a guaranteed trap to those who do not know any better.
    I suggest you remove it for the better of the sites well being.

    I will ask you politely what is the purpose of outdated information?

    How do you know it's outdated?

    And?

    The percentages only use 5dimes. The line hasn't moved on 5dimes since 2/03. Look at your own post.. Notice they update the percentage when the line changes, not when there is a change in the bet percentages.

    It's quite possible the betting percentages are updated "live" regardless of whether the line changes. Has the percentages been the same since 2/3?

    You're just looking for the wrong consensus. They have betting percentages per line, and it sounds like you want overall percentage regardless of the line. Try someplace else.

    Consensus percentage is supposed to be updated in real time but seriously I can not even believe you are arguing with me on this cause it is an open and shut case

    You haven't shown it isn't updated in real time, just that they divide the percentages by spread when displaying. It very well could be updated in real time. You know with 100% certainty that the percentage shown has been at 44%/56% since 2/3?

    We know that the spread hasn't changed since then. Maybe the last number is the overall percentage (regardless of spread), and they just save the percentages at each spread when the line changes so the user can see how the line affect overall percentages. There are plenty of other reasonable explanations.

    Besides, who are you to say what it should be? It's their service, they designed it, and because they wrote/designed it, it functions correctly because it (apparently) does what they intended it to do. If it's not what you want, write your own.

    You come in and complain about it being "worthless" when you don't even understand how it works. Why not ask politely how it works instead of assuming it should behave exactly as you want and complaining when it seemingly doesn't?
