I like to dig into stats. I also appreciate your posts so I'm not being a dick here. I see 74% of bets and 79 percent of money on Monmouth at DraftKings. I see 50% of bets and 90% of money on Monmouth at Circa. This tells me both public and sharps are on Monmouth. Looking at the numbers Kenpom has Campbell at 177 and Monmouth at 181. Stat wise, Monmouth is better at three-point shooting and free throws. They also have a better defensive efficiency (134th to 200), and force more turnovers. Yes, your strength of schedule could argue a little against this. Finally, this is the third game in three days for Campbell. Monmouth played yesterday but has better rest. Monmouth has won 4 in a row and covered the spread yesterday. Monmouth lost to Campbell by three but also won by 15 at Campbell. I think Monmouth wins a close one. We shall see. I don't think it is obvious one way or the other.
Public yes, sharps no.
And not being a dick here but your stats are the obvious surface stuff most of the public uses to make their bets.

McClain arrived via the transfer portal from Texas Southern this past offseason but missed Monmouth's first 23 games while being probed for a rules violation by the NCAA. Having spent 2023-24 at Abilene Christian, a program that was listed in the Department of Justice’s Jan. 15 point shaving indictment, he was forced to sit out while the inquiry was conducted. Though the investigation remains ongoing, Monmouth was informed during the first week of February that McClain was cleared for a return.

Just an FYI...

You also lost 250 bucks by taking Seton Hall on the ML,but i guess you forgot about that and won it back over the weekend with your "forgot to post" writeups. I've seen many guys like you come and go over the years and i hope no one falls for your deceptive shenanigans.

Tough to win a game when you're averaging almost a turnover a minute. How the fuck you get 15 turnovers in a half? Of course I had them live +5.5 for the 1st half

Exactly who do you think shops at Circa? It isn't the average Joe, bro. When the bet splits are 50% bets on one team with 90% money it is definitely sharp money. You should read Josh Applebaum and his books on sharp betting before you run your face.

I’m familiar with Applebaum and the sharp/public concepts he talks about. But in a game like Monmouth-Campbell, the bet split alone doesn’t tell the full story.
Smaller conference games like this typically have much lower limits and handle, especially compared to major conference matchups. Because of that, it doesn’t take much to skew the money percentage. A couple of larger wagers can easily push the split to something like 50% of bets and 90% of the money.
In those markets, the money percentage can move dramatically even when the actual dollar volume is relatively small. So a 90% money figure isn’t automatically evidence of sharp action, it can simply reflect the low liquidity of the market.
