    Sports Insight

    Does anyone use this app? I have some questions about it. How do we know the money percent is accurate? I signed up for a pro account, but the numbers and spread movements based on those numbers seem very odd to me. There are games where according to them 80-90 percent of the public is on a side like the patriots vs the broncos last week and the spread barely moved. Then the patriots easily covered. So did Vegas just lose their ass or is this information not correct? Id love to hear back from some other people that have this or similar applications.

    Do you think the statistics they provide are inaccurate?

    So so

    To me if they’re not 75% or more accurate it’s a waste and they’re definitely not 75% accurate

    The problem with SportsInsights is... when they first created it... he was on to something special. Now, the company is more hype with FLASHING NUMBERS.... and faulty percentage moves. It looks like it's doing something spectacular. All it is.... blinking lights from a Star Trek ship. Nothing more.

    Instead of helping true handicappers in the business with leverage.... the owner has decided on the "HYPE" rather than the true information. Totally not worth dik.

    I mean if the public is 90 percent on a bet does that not give us some information? Why would vegas let the public pound one side for 90 percent if they didnt think the other side was going to win?

    I've followed SportsInsights for years... even when they first came out... which was many years ago.

    The owner is in the "entertainment" aspect of sports wagering. Doesn't care about percentages anymore. He merged with another company... under "The Sports Action" Network.... which is basically a sports service. They spam you with plays for you to purchase now. Unfortunately, what was once something special... is just a HUSTLE JOB.

    If you still have to do guess work... when looking at something... is it worth the price??? NO.

    Thats what im saying. So according to them and also the numbers sbr forum is showing 95 percent of the money is on the lions this week. I should not trust that number correct? If that number is correct why was there a rlm for the bears? Just learning all of this stuff.

    You can't really rely on anything unfortunately. What happens if their data is wrong? A server screw up? Anything is possible... and you're relying on it to be accurate? Then you're screwed.

    Wish I had plenty of time to give you all the advice in the world about sports handicapping... we'd be talking for a year straight. lol

    Just try to design your own system... some sort of pattern that successful for you. Like.... take a week off or two without wagering real money... and just do your system for a week or two... make your plays like you normally would... and see if it's successful or not?

    Honestly, the free percentages are more accurate than the paid service. Which is the oddest thing in the world. Not joking either.

    If you are relying on a service for more than 50% of your leans... that's your first mistake.

    You should already have the reason for your lean in your head.... then... check with the public. But, it's not always a guarantee that the info is right.


    For example.... if you faded every game that SportsInsights claimed was 72% or greater... and you stuck with superior money management... you're going to win more than 50% of your wagers.

    Games that come in lower than 72% roughly... aren't that accurate. Still a coin flip. That's the only advantage you really have.

    Reason why people don't try this system... not patient enough... poor money management... and no thrill. It's the truth.

    So you think if i fade the public on games si has at 72 percent or higher it would be accurate enough information to go over 50 percent?

    Yes, I do. But make sure you stick with 1 unit wagers... and don't run out of ammunition. Meaning... your bankroll.

    It's not going to be a major significant gain... but you won't lose your ass like how most do. It will keep you in the game.


    Remember... on a Saturday or Sunday... it's not uncommon to see 3-4 over 72% games on the board in one day... make sure you have enough firepower.

    Every time I read this it’s Square 101, betting percentages mean nothing

    As far as public percentages, I don't know if you can trust any of the data.

    As far as other data, building systems, stats, closing lines, it's trivial to acquire this data yourself.
