Where does SBR odds get its betting percentages from?

[texhooper]

I’m pretty sure this has been discussed before, and I think at one point it was 5Dimes but is that still the case?

I’ve noticed that the SBR Odds percentages are oftentimes quite different than at other free sites. There’s not a lot of lopsided-ness like you see on other sites. For instance, tonight’s USC/Colorado game has 53% on USC but a couple of other sites have it in the 80s for USC. Maybe we’re getting a “sharper” sample of folks in the SBR Odds percentages?

I know what most people will say...that you can’t rely on any of this shit at all, that if you want real bet percentages that you have to subscribe to a good line service...I’m not gonna do that, I’m just trying to make sense out of what’s available.

Great post. I found the percentage info at SBR useless. Especially NFL consensus in regards to money. It's like they pull the figure out of their ass.

Along the same lines, assuming SBR identifies the line source (which I thought was BookMaker?), how often are the lines on SBR updated to match the lines on sportsbooks?

Does the SBR odds/ticker page update automatically/continuously with the books or is there a few hours delay? Hopefully, its small delay. Since I'm looking at SBR odds ticker page frequently all day (great page btw ), it would be nice if it is continously updated so I don't have to logon on to the various books I use.

I have seen small differences on odds between SBR and some of my books. Could be just lag or ???

Ha, well if you notice I’m trying to give them the benefit of the doubt...it does oftentimes seem to never be not greater than roughly a 60/40 split

Secret info I've gathered. Or unreliable.

This question will not get a truthful answer from SBR. Books love giving this fake information out

Imo they all useless from everywhere. For one why trust the books to give out accurate info? for 2 it really doesn’t matter. Amount of bets or money don’t decide games.

This is a terrible answer. It might be true but lets get specific here Genie.

There is 1 percentage and a bajillion books. That % is coming from somewhere else..... Where though?

Can't be a concensious number with the lines and odds being different.

If I went into detail... I'd be typing all night. SBR percentage is useless. No pattern to it. Now SBR Odds is GREAT (line movement).

Pregame is sh#$.

SportsInsights is pretty accurate. Not every game the public loses though. But their percentages are more accurate than any site.

It always just been incredibly tough for me to believe books giving out accurate numbers to anyone.

Sbr odds very helpful, the good old version not the new crap JJ always trying to shove down our throats that a pain in the ass to read!!

I think years ago there was something to the whole bet percentages + line movement thing but like everything else once it becomes common knowledge it worthless.,

[jjgold]

New sbr odds version is unreal!!

[2daBank]

New sbr odds version is unreal!!

It’s unreal anyone thought it was a good idea to mess with a great thing, the old version!!

Maybe it cause I don’t have a cape to cap with!!

JJ I would like a sbr cape like you wear!!

The line movement isn't as accurate. It definitely leaves out line movements. I've watched this and I know Bookmakers feed for one doesnt completely match up with the books actual line movement. It leaves some movements out

[RudyRuetigger]

i agree with moneyshot

sportsinsights seem to have the best percentages

and at one time they said the books they used, not sure if they still do


would like to know which sportsbooks sbr uses

The sad thing is we’re just not gonna get that answer.

[funnyb25]

This is a type of question that correlates with asking the book why their site is down or when it will be back up and they respond that everything is working fine when everyone on Earth knows it's down and not working fine.

Not gonna get an answer.

I've noticed that SBR and BetOnLine have similar odds a lot of the time.

I agree. I meant to say.... SBR Odds is the best it's ever been. There's times.... months and years past it wasn't as consistent. And I'm sure there are days you still have to search for precise movement. But generally it does tell you where the moves are... but probably not time stamped as quick as it should. If you take the SBR information and match it with SportsInsights percentages... you can piece the puzzle together. It's not 100% a guarantee... nothing in life is. But it's somewhat helpful if you consistently examine material.... and print out past outcomes for your own review.

Why does
It matter!


It
Means nothing capping

[pavyracer]

I never look at it. Cap the game..not where the money is on.

[jjgold]

People think fading the public works let me know how that turns out

[RudyRuetigger]

Why does
It matter!


It
Means nothing capping

if it means nothing, why not say what books?

[jjgold]

Disclosures /Legality


Books do not want it public

If it doesnt matter why is it such secretly guarded information and manipulated? Give me a straight answer for this and then I'll tell you if it matters

[Mr KLC]

I asked this question a couple of years ago, and I was told by one of the mods (can't remember who) that they used a single book, but per agreement, could not divulge which one it was. Always just assumed it was probably Bookmaker.

hmmmm

[pavyracer]

People forget that a lot of money is bet in Euro and Asian books that SBR doesn't track and a ton is bet illegally in Asian markets. The consensus is of no use when the betting syndicate of Macau mafia paid 10 million to Wisconsin athletic department to lose to Illinois.
