Public percentage

[Ricki Roma]

.Is there a specfic site that gives accurate data on what side the public is on of each game? I would love access to that..

[neverstoppers23]

i always just use covers.com to get a general idea. It uses the people who use their site obviously but its thousands of people so it will give you a pretty accurate picture of the public.
covers.com then go to consensus

Alright sounds good bro, good lookin out

Not sure how accurate it is but pregame has a tool:

BTW on covers if you go to 'detailed' on the side, you can see where people bet at specific spreads. Obviously the spread has changed over-time. That is neat to see too, to see how much or how little the public has shifted

What is that based off of though.
Some of the percentages from that are 10 points off from covers.com some a lot closer. Interesting. Would like to know how many people that is based off of too.

Covers is the first site I used for gambling.

I'll also use that site to see where the public is.

No site is accurate
no way to tell who public is on unless your a book manager that has access to the betting logs

If I was to use public percentages I would use pay services like Sports Options or Don Best Sports
If you cannot afford use SBR odds

VegasInsider, I think? But it tells you percentage, not money that comes in on each team. I'd think that would be more important, maybe?

[jjgold]

Money would be much better but no one is giving that info out

I guess books can track percentages and then set up feeds to paid 3rd party services

[No coincidences]

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

Yes it would. I thought i saw it some-where before but I think it was after the game was played

[Ricki Roma]

HHmm maybe fade the public isnt so bad afterall..

JJ is right but i always look at thespread.com to get a general idea!

JJ since we know you got some connection in vegas. Tell us who the public is on tonight?Who are you on?

I hate to keep agreeing with JJ, because another guy said that he just creates useless posts, or that someone else writes his posts when he is in Buffalo or Vegas, but he is right again in this post, and I'm not saying it to just agree. I do think, however, that if you use some of those sites that are mentioned, you should get a pretty accurate number. Of course, you can't expect to get the perfect or actual number, but it should be close enough to suit your purposes. What say ye, JJG?

Those percentages mean nothing as far as handicapping even if accurate, sometimes they win and sometimes they lose

Everything comes back 47-52 percent range and you lose

If the betting percentages on a game are

70
30

you do not know if some of the 70% is made up of guys with a clue
