What the data says

Washington Nationals at Athletics shows a meaningful bet/money divergence on the moneyline market — not the biggest split on the slate, but worth a look. 41% of bets are on Athletics while only 22% of dollars are on the same side — a 19-point gap.

A 10 to 20-point gap is the band where the data starts to mean something but doesn't yet scream. It usually means a handful of larger bets landed on Washington Nationals without the public catching on yet, or the public is leaning on a side that the market doesn't fully respect. Either way, the money side here is Washington Nationals, and the price reflects what the books think of that lean.

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.

Where can I bet {away} vs. {home}?

Any licensed sportsbook in your state offers MLB markets. We don't recommend specific books — see our responsible gambling resources before you wager.

What does it mean when Athletics has 41% of bets but 22% 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 Athletics is smaller than the average bet on the other side.

What is sharp money?

Sharp money is wagering activity from sophisticated, high-volume bettors. It shows up as a money percentage that exceeds the bet percentage on the same side — bigger checks per ticket on the contrarian view. See our methodology →
