Longtime lurker/newbie. What does it mean when 56% of tickets is on team at and 80% of money is on team B? And when 80% is on team A and 80% of money is on team A? Thanks I think I have an idea but.. probablt wrong.

Nice that you would post this.

As far as WilliamHill goes, they kick winners out and they don't wait long....amazing to me as studies show that 4% of punters win on a regular basis, so it is purely a matter of greed that they would adopt a policy of winners only.

I was out after about 4 weeks of betting with them....with their prices not being as competitive as others out there, I don't miss them.

Quick example.....Say a book has taken 100 bets (i.e., 100 people make a bet on the game), with 75 betting on team A and 25 betting on team B.....in this case, 75% of the tickets are on Team A

To take it a step further, assume that the 75 bettors bet $100 each on Team A and the 25 bettors on Team B bet $1000 each on team B....in this scenario, $7500 has been bet on Team A and $25000 on Team B....so, 77% of the money is on Team B and 23% of the money is on team A

The takeaway here is that if you assume larger bettors are sharper, then you can follow the money as opposed to the tickets.......see WKU/Memphis above

Thank you for posting NY Knight! Great discussion, great thread.

97% of the dollars are on New Mexico, but only 84% of the tickets, so the theory is that the smart money is on New Mexico so they are the play?

 

[Georgiaboy]

keep in mind most of the money is wagered on game day

keep in mind most of the money is wagered on game day

I vaguely remember reading something like this. Majority of money wagered on a game is placed within a few hrs of kickoff. Could be wrong though.

Why is WH making this information available?

 

[Aloha_4_Da_Winna]

Western Michigan and Northwestern seem like top picks at the moment...

what exactly does this mean....what would the plays be?

IS this legit? No idea why they would release their exact information.
