    Default Where Can I go to see betting trends for the season?

    I know there are sites that give you an idea on the percentages of where the money is being placed.

    I want one that archives back to the beginning of the season for NCAAF and NFL. I'm curious to crunch what the record ATS 90+% picks, 80 - 89% picks, and 70 - 79% picks are...

    Any links I can check out? Thanks!

    Vegasinsider.com archives line movements, but I'm not sure the value of these trend things. Is the trend based on % of $ or is it based on number of bets? If it's based on number of bets, it could represent small $ amounts of rec bettors. If it's based on $ value, it could represent one BIG bet from an individual. Either way, what does the trend tell you????

    Not sure they have exactly what you are looking for, but your best bet may be sportsinsights.com

    The stuff is inaccurate so I would not pay attention to any of those sites. I think if you do use one Carib would be the best.

    i think your right about that, most are only giving the percentage of bets going each way. so you could have a shitload of $5-20 bets one way, and then a handful of $1000-10000 maybe the other way.
    i know sportsbookspy.com is a pay service that will alert you when a large sum is bet. they are hooked up with certain books and supposedly the books won't give an actual dollar amount, but they will let them know when sharps are on something.

    Interesting.

    As far as what I'm looking for, the theory that when a game looks "too easy" it is a trap, I'm wondering how often that is true.

    Obviously if 90% of bettors agree on one side of the line, it must look like a very good bet. Cincy -6 @ Cleveland week 2 would be a good example.

    Just want to see how often the public gets it wrong on huge one-sided plays.

    wagerline also is ok but too many people just clicking any pick there and guys who do not gamble.
