Consensus description

Where do these numbers come from?

A while back, someone posted saying that the numbers are from 5Dimes only as that's the only book they have licensing agreement with. I have no idea if it's true or not and just so you are aware, those numbers do not align with the numbers I'm seeing through tweets and from ESPN.

I've seen many times where one side had more than a million or even a few millions and yet it covered and I doubt very much that the books would risk losing that much, so I wouldn't bother making your bets based on what you see at the consensus data.

Not that I am aware of. They do operate a sportsbook for betting with betpoints and that's about it unless I'm mistaken.

I will give you the sources I follow, so you can see for yourself.

David Purdum tweets about where the money is being bet.

So does Jason Simbal and he is Vice President of Risk Management at CG Technology.

Lastly, David Purdum has a link on ESPN to keep track of current betting situation.

Biggest Super Bowl LIII bets

http://www.espn.com/chalk/story/_/id/25817901/super-bowl-liii-biggest-bets-us-sportsbooks-new-england-patriots-los-angeles-rams-including-spread-total-prop-bets

More than $158 million was wagered on Super Bowl LII, a total that will likely be eclipsed at sportsbooks across the U.S. for this year's game. Here are the biggest bets.

All I can tell you is that whenever any of them said anything in reference to books needing something, it came in more often than not.

I'm waiting and hoping that they will say books need the Rams, but it may not if the betting becomes even money-wise by the kick off.
