Who's The Public On?

Sportsbook.com lists the % next to their live odds and I want to track the most popular over/under each day. Im assuming it will have a bad record.

Which other web sites list their %?

Thanks!

Wagerline is all contest picks, correct?

Is sportsbook.com the number of bets or the amount of $$ on each play?

i personally would trust the wagerline info 100% more. why? because these people are actually trying to win a contest (ego thing) i would never trust a bookie to let me know what side is really needed (how do i know?)i was a bookie and i would have rather crapped in my mama's frying pan than let my players know what i needed before the game went off!

also they are only really telling you the amount of plays on one particular team(if it is even true),so they may have 100 5.00 bettors on texas,and 1 10 dimes bettor on washington

who would they rather win???????????????

you are on the right track with what you are trying to accomplish though,and it really pays off in football and baskets(but baseball is a totally different beast)

good luck to you and welcome to the club

You have a point Buster, but I was looking at it like its a lot easier to pick a play for a contest then it is to actually bet your own money on it. Personally, my wallet is more important to me than my ego.

I know with baseball you cant just pick the opposite of sides wagering because a 2-1 favorite is naturally going to have more money than the dog. But the totals pretty much stay in the -110 to -125 range.

Only time will tell =)

Thanks

The sportsbook.com numbers and the wagerline numbers are usually the same 95% of the time. I'm not sure how trustworthy the actual strength of the percentages are but if you were to just see which play the public is on (so either over or under, but not actually seeing by how much) it would match up with the wagerline concensus.

yes my wallet too!!!!!!!but you would be amazed at the number of people that would be happy losing money,but glad everyone saw them win a contest,and by the way you are dead on on totals.keep up the good work,and i know you do not have to be told this but be careful with those 1/2 runs in bases THEY ARE HUGE.
