Not to start a bash thread or nothing, but that chart or stats mean nothing. You still have zero idea where the money is.

For that chart to be valid or meaningful, you have to make two assumptions. One is that carib is being honest with their numbers. I'll assume they are. but now lets look at what those bets mean. If some joe $100 better bets the jets ten different times for 10 dollars each, does that count as ten bets for the jets and none for miami?? do moneyline bets factor into those stats?

And MOST importantly, you still have zero idea where the money is!!! for argument sakes lets say they have 1000 bets on the game even though they have more. and 78 people bet 100 dollars on the game. they have 7800 in action on the jets. Now 22 bigger betters put 1k each on the dolphins. they now have 22000 on the dolphins. so you still have no idea where the money is.

im not bashing just trying to tell you that if you bet the game based solely on this chart, you are doing yourself a disservice.

gl to you. fwiw im on the jets and could care less if apparantly 77.9% of people are on them. each game independent of the next

interesting chart loophole. i don't trust sportsbook at all (booted before), but ill assume their numbers are true.

take a look at the chargers/raiders game. very interesting numbers.

81 percent of their action on chargers
but
72 percent of the moneyline action on raiders??

Money has to stand for moneyline not money correct? otherwise they would have had a number for the gb game which was a pick basically.

correct me if im wrong

i believe you are correct, bleeddodgerblue, only way the numbers i have observed make any sense.


i also noticed the numbers on the raiders game. you can spin them any way you like - my take was the smart money took the raiders to win and got hammered.
