    Big difference between the between the betting public and the general public?
    I've followed ESPN's streak for the cash and line movement some and I've seen some anomalies. For example, today over 90% picked picked the Reds in STFC while somehow the Diamondbacks remained a slight favorite at the books. I saw a similar thing happen in a college basketball game a few months ago. Wisconsin was -1 at Northwestern and over 90% picked Wisconsin on STFC but the line barely budged.

    The only conclusion I can come to is that there's a significant difference between the general public and their opinions and the betting public. Can someone provide insight into this? I'm totally confused about this.

    Well for starters. You are dealing with a smaller sample.
