SBR Consensus

[gauchojake]

I know there have been a million threads on this, but given the change in ownership I feel like we should revive it. Do the betting consensus numbers come from:
a - a US Book
b - the Covers contest picks
C- somewhere else like offshore or sportradar
THANKS

Old SBR management was just as cagey about revealing data sources as the new ones are. I guess it's considered commercially valuable info.

The most I have seen said publicly, so I feel comfortable to repeat it, is that we use data from several books plus a couple of services. I've seen Don Best and Pinny mentioned.

Thanks Opti. I would be interested in seeing the dollar volume from the sources utilized if possible. I know that was a feature in the past for NFL. You would think with the US facing books being publicly traded companies that there would be more transparency from an investor risk perspective.

I just do not see how we can use information we cannot verify. Why would sports books allow us information that has any value?

You can verify it's value by tracking the consensus vs w/l ATS but you're right, the info by itself is pretty useless.

Yes, we are going to want to know is it based on $'s for the consensus and what kind of volume? If it is a per head basis then the sharpness of the clientele would be nice but it is like you say we would have to track it in order to fade or follow.

Not sure if you play at a world gaming site. They put up a consensus on each game. For example: in the NBA tonight they have Houston +8 1/2 at 90%. It was +9 earlier so I do not know how much of the consensus was at each. The over 225 1/2 is at 94%.

The money line showed 60% a half hour ago on Houston and now it is 24%. So, does that mean some players are hitting the 390 favorite Clippers or was it a really small sample size on the money line.

One thing for sure is if a player never tries to find anything he will never find anything.

Honestly its because that data is manipulated. Books dont just hand out that information without a purpose. When they use to hand that out early on 7-10 years ago they would get buried on certain games. Just like most things books adjust after you hit them hard enough and then if you dont adjust they give you the "consensus data" they want to give you and put you in the grave and laugh while they collect your money.

Jake - I never check SBR Consensus anymore... I think it's highly inaccurate. Doesn't match up in any way, shape, or form... with other sites. It's pure garbage.

I've also seen it change drastically 30 minutes after a game has started. Where one side was dominated 65% of the time.... all of a sudden the "other side" is now at 67% it's absolutely IMPOSSIBLE.

Want a consensus report just ask ten of your buddies at work

[lakerboy]

I don't use that stuff anymore. I've adjusted to the the new world order. I might even get the bivalent vaccine.

Jake, Stop calling me then.

JJ is right.
I have yet to find any that appear to be representative of the actual market. Nothing at one site matches another. The built in delays the sites have in updating the information makes it useless anyway.
