Line movement history?

operaman · 08-05-2006, 02:20 PM

I am interested in looking at the line movement of a specific game from different bookies from the time the line is posted to game time. Is there anything of that nature available?

Something like a stock history chart.

i'm not sure if they have that in the works or not at this time sergfro. i know the techies will be improving on the new layout even after it's launched on August 7th.

I think we will have something like that for SBR users and our consensus picks. I know Sportbet and Sportsbook.com show their stuff during football and I believe that's how SI calculates theirs. We could see if some BMs would be willing to update a system we build for it. Could be a cool feature!

Looks like we have a few new smileys.

Gives one an idea too of how the books may be doing.
Surprised to see that books are willing to give this info.

They usually give percentages rather than volume, which probably isn't a good judge as you'd get less sharps betting more vs more squares betting less.
