% of bets are a deceiving number. The % of the money on either side would be more telling.  If 8 people were to bet $20 on a game and 2 people were to bet $80 on the other side, then it would 80% on the 8 person side but the money (more importantly) would be even.

So it's hard to tell when you don't know the amounts they are reporting in those %'s

Sportsinsights shows %'s of wagers only.... not $ amts.   Their data re line movements and lines offered at various books is reliable. I dont doubt the viability of their %'s, which are generally in line with Wagerline, VegasInsiders, and other sources of similar data.

SO IF 82% IS ON THE OVER...WHY IS THE LINE NOT MOVING UP FROM 53

trulygold, these are the plays i look for.

for example:

s florida opened at -13.5 and is currently -13.5 . 74% are on s. florida. the book doesn't want the line to move because they want the public to slam the bulls. based on this method are my following picks. TAKE PITT +13.5

memphis opened at -4 and is currently at -3., 75% of public is on memphis so why does line drop. they are making it easier for them to cover. TAKE ABU +3

oregan st/utah o/u opened at 53 and is currently 53. 92% public on over and hasn't moved. by now you are getting idea that they want the over to keep getting slammed. TAKE THE UNDER

Feels funny being on the sharp side i guess for you get used to winning its gonna be happening a lot for you as long as you listen to what the lines telling you, the line tells you who to bet and sports insights is the best there is i use them to and so does every sharp and wiseguy in america its a must for any serious player also listen to their plays that they recommend they had a great year in bases like they always do next year drop a dime on every game in bases and you will make a killing over hundred units easy every year for them sports insights
