    Cmon man almost everyone knows this. Books are under no obligation to report these numbers at all or do it honestly if they do. I know years ago when I was in the business people would just make them up off the top of their head just to make it sound good.

    Anyone basing their handicapping off these numbers is pretty much basing it off absolutely nothing.

    “I am going to share some earth shattering news: Public bet %’s that don’t quote the number and/or prices that said bets were taken at IN ADDITION to being from soft-ass sportsbooks that haven’t taken a real bet in years aren’t actionable info. Sorry to break it to ya Twitter fam!”

    Used to think there was something to the percentages.

    With age comes wisdom.

    Would a book really provide that info if they thought it would help the bettor?

    You can really improve on that by making your own ratings or handicapping corrrelations. That's the real gold mine, being able to predict line moves some 80% of the time, and the reasons why, provide an extremely large positive field from which to graze.

    Understanding where the no vig line stands is pretty important. That video tells you how to do it, if you can figure out who is where. You don't need those percentages to do that, but you do need to Know Your Markets.

    Most people are not capable of making their own ratings, the majority of gamblers are factory gamblers
