    SBR Consensus

    How accurate is the SBR consensus column in the odds section? What books do they get the data from? And, are there any places to get live odds and a better consensus report?

    Most reliable sportsinsights. You can also use pregame sportsbook spy. SI is legit for sure anyways since they pay books for this data which is a win win situation for SI/books since the data is really worth nothing.

    Are there legitimate free sites providing this information? SBROdds seems to be on a massive delay.

    SBRodds uses 5dimes for those percentages.

    As RogueScholar told me taking the percentage from one book is like doing a poll of the United States and only actually polling Montana. It doesn't tell you very much. Try "two minute warning dot com's" bettracker. Hope this helps fellas!

    No I agree with Jaug. The data is worth absolutely nothing. It's just kind of interesting to see.
