Just a short post – but a useful example of one way we might use the sports marketplace data.
- For the KC-Cincy game - on the Total, we show only about 32% of bets on the Under.
- We like the Under as a Contrarian play.
- In addition, the data shows that about 60% of the actual money is on the Under.
- This means that bigger money (that tends to be sharper) is on the Under.
- Thus – there are two angles or systems that lean towards the Under in that game.
- Sometimes plays are not flagged for actual plays because our systems may have stricter filters. It is so difficult to beat the -110 vig (bet 11 to win 10)) that it pays to be selective with your sports investing.
