What is the most reliable source for public bet trends?

[DUBnation]

Right now I'm looking at NO/LAL game for Sunday and I have SportsInsights and TheSpread showing me 89% of the public on LAL@+2.5, while I have ScoresAndOdds showing me 84% of the public on NO.

WHY?

Yea that doesnt make sense ...unless they take their sources of sample or info on different groups ? betters ?

My suspicion would be that early on sites might have different information but closer to the games it all starts to balance out since they're dealing with a larger sample. Obviously they don't all get their info from the same places.

That said it's very hard to consider any of this information accurate. I wouldn't use it as anymore more than a slight indication and no bet should just be "fading the public".
