Where is the best place to find the % of bets on each side in a game?

quantumleap · Sep 24, 2005

I heard wagerline.com has percentages but I also heard it's only for the people who sign up for their web site. Does anyone have any other web sites that list the percentages of bets on each side? If so, how accurate are they?

Why not go to Wagerline and check for yourself ? Last time I looked you didn't have to sign up for anything to look at the percentages.

I did go there. They had percentages but the votes were only a couple hundred. I don't know how representative that web site is of the public as a whole.

Anyone know how representative wagerline is? Anyone know of another web site that may be more accurate?

This, combiined with wagerline and covers, will give one a good indication of what the public is wagering.

Thanks

Thanks for the responses.

redpimp, would you say that sportsbook.com doesn't have accurate information?

Fishhead, did you take your fish oil supplement yet today?

Those figures dont make sense tho. Unless I dont understand what they are saying. In one instance there, 67% of the sides and 71% of the money was on the dog and yet the line went from -3.5 to -4. How do you figure that? Other games there was wide disparity in the figures and the lines never moved.

The books don't always move lines based on percentages. It could be that a lot of small bettors are betting on one side of the line that may not be significant.

Also, sometimes lines move counter to the way money comes in.
