Joey,
It will not show dollar amounts, it will show percentages based on dollar amounts. The graph will display the sum of the total action on both sides of the game and give a percentage based on that number.
$750 on Team A
$250 on Team B
The Chart will show 75% on Team A and 25% on Team B.
The # of bets chart is similar in that if you have:
70 bets on Team A
30 bets on Team B
The Chart will show 70% and 30%, respectively.
The benefit?? Well, as a player, I always like to know who is betting what. I like to know where "the money" is riding, so to say. It might not be a benefit for every player, but it is an interesting feature that we thought would enhance our site. Looks like we might have been right this time. Thanks for the question, Joey. Take care.
Jake
