What the data says

New York Mets at Pittsburgh Pirates has a modest split worth noting on the totals market. 58% of bets are on Under 9, with 48% of dollars on the same side — a 10-point gap. It's a small edge, not a top opportunity, but it's a directional signal in the same direction as a real sharp-money tell.

Splits in the 10 to 15-point range are common — most games on most nights land in this band. It's not nothing, and it's not enough on its own to override the price. The money side here is Over 9 if the gap matters. The public side is the one the line is built around. Most professional bettors don't act on a split this size in isolation; they use it as one input among several.

Frequently asked questions

What does it mean when Under 9 has 58% of bets but 48% of money?

When the bet count and the dollars don't agree, the dollars usually carry the sharper signal. A {gap}pp gap means the average bet on Under 9 is smaller than the average bet on the other side.

How often does the team with more money% cover?

In our season-to-date sample, the side with more money than bets covers slightly more than half the time. The edge grows with the size of the bet/money gap.

What is a good bet% gap to look for?

Look for 15+ point gaps where the money is on the unpopular side. Those are the games where the average bet size is doing the talking.

Are these picks or just data?

These are data displays. We don't issue picks. Use the splits to inform your own bets — and bet responsibly.

What is the difference between bet% and money%?

Bet% is the share of tickets wagered on a side. Money% is the share of dollars. They diverge when one side draws bigger bets per ticket than the other.

What's a meaningful bet/money split?

A 10-point gap between the share of bets and the share of dollars on a side is the threshold we treat as meaningful. 15+ points usually means the average bet on the money side is materially larger — that's where sharp money lives. See our methodology →
