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.

**Brady2Moss** · 07-17-08, 12:24 PM

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.

**LT Profits** · 07-17-08, 12:34 PM

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.

**durito** · 07-17-08, 02:05 PM

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.

**LT Profits** · 07-17-08, 02:09 PM

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.

**durito** · 07-17-08, 02:22 PM

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.

**Mariner** · 07-17-08, 09:40 PM

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

**NYER5680** · 07-19-08, 07:02 PM

what are the web addresses i cant seem to find them?

**LT Profits** · 07-19-08, 07:19 PM

Here is an SI afflliate:

**BuddyBear** · 07-19-08, 07:32 PM

you can look at them, but they aren't all that important....

**jon13009** · 07-19-08, 07:50 PM

Same as LT's site above - another SI affilate:

NameBright - Domain Expired

http://www.smartcapper.com/sports_betting_percentages.html

2 More,

This one is relatively new, and unclear of its source.

Just a moment...

http://www.pregame.com/EN/main/sports-betting-stats/sportsbook-spy-insights/

This is data from Caribsports.com only:

http://www.caribsports.com/docs/ALL.caribpicks.html

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.
