"public"/"squares" vs "sharps"
- Thread starter yyz
- Start date
The site is a good tool as KID pointed out. Remember, this is a picks consensus site at Covers, it's not a % of money bet on a side/run line puck line money line/total which can be found on other "FREE" scores and odds pages, like S&O and Sportsbook spy, Don Best, etc.
There are % of money bet early and you'll see 90% or more on a side/moneyline/total, and if you get to covers early when the lines first come out, the early picks of the overall consensus of the picks, you will see over 90% but it quickly dwindles as the week goes on before a game starts.
Good stuff!!
Thanks KID & Hud and Yyz!!
We are all trying to get an "edge", but it's good to have your own numbers, stats, etc., when officially making a play or so.
GL today on whatever you all played!!
:0corn
My picks, your picks, his picks..........have nothing to do with any of this.
This is all about how the "squares" are cleaning up this weekend. (Or is it the "sharps"?)
It's just funny, to me at least, to see a guy write something like, "I lost my ass this week, as the squares got lucky once again." That's pretty fucking arrogant! Seriously......who the hell says that? It would certainly seem the YOU are the square if you lost and THEY won!
Covers, go to consensus picks for the sport, it's under scores/matchups on their tool bar links.
Pregame dot (you get it )
Is good too. Look at bet percentages. .
Scores and odds dot( u got it?)
Again this is good too
Others out that are for pay but i never paid yet.

Define public? you say or your site you look at has a high percentage on over so your making a play on under, yet another poster says the site he looks at has the public 50/50 on the total tonight. How much of the public percentage do you really think your actually getting?

Who do you think started the terms public. squares, and sharps? VEGAS!!!!
Sharps....so the egotistical bettors(in their opinion) whales, can consider themselves
in with Vegas.
Squares ......what the Sharps can refer to when they lose and the lucky guys cash.
Public......This is the real joke. There is two sides to gambling, Vegas (or any bookie,off-shore
etc). and anyone making a wager.
Simply put anyone making a wager is part of the PUBLIC.:0008

One thing though, Skanoochies, a sharp, according to those in Vegas is a person who consistently beats Vegas year in and year out against the Vegas number, whether it's the opening line or closing line.
But you are correct, everyone is considered, "PUBLIC".
Billy Walters, The Fuzzy Foreigner, and a few others, are considered "SHARPS" or as South Philly likes to call them "WHALES".
Great thread ya'll!!
