    Betting Distributions

    Is there a place to find out what percentage of bettors took one side of a bet?

    Are bets usually close to 50-50 or are there some bets that are like 90-10 distributed?

    Thanks a lot, basically I am trying to get data on 'casinos always set the lines to get 50-50 betting' argument.

    Not sure... but whoever it is, they get a lot of action.

    The problem is you won't necessarily be able to see that since these are showing you the percentage of bets on each side and not the percentage of money on each side

    In other words, the charts may show 75% of the bets on one side and 25% on the other side, but the money could be real close to 50%-50%

    Look again... this site has the spreads, totals and moneyline percentages.
