- In addition to overall "Bet Against" results, we have broken down how Betting Against the Public performs for Home teams or a Visitors.
- For example, if a Home team has less than 23% of the public betting on them (Visitor has more than 77% of the public), this scenario resulted in a 55.3% winning percentage.
- On the other hand, Visitors with less than 23% of the bets (more than 77% of bets on Home team), resulted in a 50.8% winning percentage.
- Some members may try using Home teams at the 23% level and Visiting teams at the 23% level, focusing on Home teams in college football.
