SBR NFL Consesus wagering - Better to burn out than to FADE away....NYoung

[SBR_John]

First of all thank you for all the testers. We have had literally 100's of users help with this project. I doubt the early testers even recognize the near finished product.

A lot of questions on the raw data so I'll make a brief statement on that.
Some of the info we mine ourselves such as how many touts are picking the game. That data comes from our own service plays forum. Also, the Best Bet from Beat The Prick is listed in the column that should read BTP Best Bets or something similar. For now its simply is called "Best bets".

The data used for the wagering totals comes from a coalition of willing sportsbooks. The data is supplied under an agreement that we not give the names. I believe this is temporary. Sportsbooks are nervous to supply this information but in reality it is simply data.

For the next couple of months we will be adding NBA and other sports.

Would like to see 5Dimes or a big sportsbook be used to see actual $ amounts.

[Bill Dozer]

Keep the feedback coming. We have found a few more hiccups to address and will put the link to the page directly on the NFL SBRodds grid for the upcoming week's games.

The only thing it seems to be missing is opening line to the left of current line.

Love the site. It gives fantastic information. I like using it, for certain. Can't wait to see it in full force, because the data is really interesting and also useful for preparing for line moves and such - which is critical, obviously.

[Enkhbat]

So what's the consensus? who should we bet on?

[DeluxeLiner]

I really like it so far...the lastest version is better with the 1000+ wagers in the first slot (I think this is the most important of the best bets, touts, and large bets).

I think knowing what line these people got would be the best because certain books induce action on one side by having the other side being worse than other books so people will go elsewhere to place the bet.

[soul786]

Looks really really good, interesting numbers for this week too

[billysink]

very nice, much appreciated

[dj_destroyer]

Very nice. SBR always helping out the player.

I would love to know how many books are supplying data and which ones exactly... so when that information is less sensitive, please let us know John.

[MJT1212]

very interesting, i instantly noticed a valuable trend, will be interesting to see if it pans out week to week

thanks sbr

[eidolon]

$10,000+ bets?

[McBa1n]

It's been crazy watching the action on the Sunday Night game. Flood of money comes in for one side - then the other. It's actually pretty fun to track people chasing and trying to get their money in good tonight.
Still crazy how much action was on Philly today (I'm thinking the Andy Reid after the bye week stat).

I love the extra stats - my favorite being 'pay touts'. Still blows my mind that people pay for plays - ESPECIALLY for something as impossible to handicap well as the NFL (I can't stand the 'this stat is what sells me on this play' crap). And even funnier that of the touts tracked, the team with the most picks by them was Philly. Fitting, I suppose.

Can't wait for more data. Mmm.

[the_situation]

awesome

[Pete0]

Why cant I see this for previous weeks ?

[Paul Kemp]

I'm already enjoying watching the lines move for the Monday night game. Good stuff...

SBR_John - what language is that nifty web service in? .NET foundation?

For a little fun - part of the title of this thread is: "Better to burn out than to FADE away....NYoung"

First poster to tell me what other "famous musician" used this line gets 5 points - it's used somewhere - could be in a cover of that song, could be in an interview.... No hints - it's easy. Google and Calculators are prohibited.
