As you may have noticed, the forum was offline for a period. We identified a security incident to Sportsbook Review Forum and took the site offline as a containment step while we investigated.
We wanted to make sure the system and site were restored and secured before bringing things back online and you will see that we are requiring all forum users to reset their password as a precautionary step.
If you have any questions, our moderators are around and happy to help where they can.
Does anyone know where I can find a public consensus.....something that shows me where the publics money is. If you know more than one please pm me. thanks

Thanks man, I do know of a couple consensus....but I always like to have as much information as possible I also found that some of these sites post the opposite percentages/numbers. I am just looking for ways to double and triple check/compare the numbers that are coming in from the other sites I pull from daily. Thanks for the info.

Well wagerline is pretty meaningless because it is not based on actual bets. Bet Tracker (Sports Insights) is great.

Well wagerline isnt useless, I find that the numbers are usually close to bet tracker.
But you cant get O/U stats with bet tracker so you have to use wagerline.

The difference is that Bet Tracker percentages are based on actual bets placed at actual sportsbooks, while wagerline percentages are based on contest entries.
Not that wagerline doesn't serve a purpose, because the "squareness" of the contestants does give you an idea of what the public plays will be.

i like sportsinsight, i don't know how many books they have a feed from, i think it is like 7-8, but you can get a good estimate by that many books, they'll show you total # of bets placed and the % for each side, NOW NOTE, this is only which way the bets have been placed, not actual money, books DO NOT release total money handle %'s for each game. so if a % is 75% on one team and 25% on the other, that 75% might have 8000 Bets ranging from $5-1000, but the 25% side might have some $5000+ bets in there.
vegasinsider has a breakdown also, they use the stats from sportsbook, same as a few other places.
sports.com has a breakdown also
pregame has one now, it used to be sportsbookspy, but they changed it.

LK,
BetTracker is powered by SI, they are the exact same thing.

The sportsinsights bet info though, is from sportsbook.com, betus, and wagerweb (carib and sportbet). Not exactly places i'd trust to give out accurate information.

Well in a way, I'd prefer to have "square" book info than info from sharp books where fading the higher percentage may not be the best course to take.

Of course.
I'm just saying I wouldn't trust that those books are giving out accurate info.
Personally although I may glance at such numbers occasionally it in no way influences my wagering.

The spread.com has consensus. One thing to remember we are the public.

what are the web addresses i cant seem to find them?
True you have to take all publicly released betting data with a huge grain of salt, but it is out there for you to look at.
As LT indicated, Wagerline is not something to consider because it is only a "public poll" - that is not composed of people actually placing their money on the line.
SI, sportsbook-spy, and Carib are supposedly numbers from actual betting tallies where real dollars are at stake.
