there's a ton of sites. totally inaccurate if you ask me. why would % matter if we don't know how much money is on the side? if it smells like fish it usually is fish so why the hell would sportsbooks like sportbook and carib provide this info for us? because they know that info is useless unless one thinks the books want us to have an edge LOL
the reason that they do this is because they know that the general public is going to take what the masses are. how many times do people at work or at the bar like a game opposite of you and you change your play because 8 of your buddies like that side. same for anyone that goes to that site and sees where the majority % are and says "boy alot of money on that side, maybe I should play that side". I know that your first reaction to reading this is "whatever that doesn't happen" well it does and more often than we can imagine.
people like to do what the masses are doing. they don't want to be harassed or razed at work on monday for thinking that the redskins were going to beat the vikes when everyone else liked the vikings. but come monday that one person was right and could of won some money but didn't play it since he was talked out of the play.
perfect example is the ok/usc game. not from a website standpoint but the fact that every sports talk guy on espn had oklahoma winning and EVERY service was on OK made it an easy play on usc for me. Then those "expert" announcers all game back with "I didn't know usc was that good". well I can guess where they had their money which is the reason they acted so surprised. and these are guys that talk to the coaches, players, who ever and tend to influence the common bettor with their insights.
One that I am watching for this weekend is the pack/min game. no one is giving the vikes a chance in hell to win this game. now 6 points could be something to take if the vikes come out and get a couple of quick scores. not making it a pick yet as it is too early to say for sure.
I use all those sites for evaluting what everyone is playing. now it isn't a 100% work all the time system and actually got my ass handed to me last night from it.
does anyone know of any other sites that give side information.
