What the data says

The Cincinnati Reds have been one of the season's clearer fade targets. Across 53 games where we have publicly reported splits data, casual bettors have hammered them — averaging 42.4% of the bet count when Cincinnati Reds are on the board. The dollars haven't followed: the average money percentage on Cincinnati Reds sits at 46.9%, a meaningful divergence that says the average bet on the other side is materially larger.

When Cincinnati Reds are a public favorite (60%+ of bets on their side), they're 4-9 this season. The fade-the-public side — betting against Cincinnati Reds when the public is loading up — is 9-4 in those same games. That's not a guarantee, and it's not enough sample to call a rule, but it is the data pattern that lands a team on the "heavy fade target" list.

Frequently asked questions

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. See our learn page for more.

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.

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 Cincinnati Reds's record when faded by sharps?

When the money side is opposite the betting majority on Cincinnati Reds, the fade-the-public side is 9-4 in those games this season.

What is a meaningful bet% / money% gap?

A 10-point gap is the threshold we treat as noise vs. signal. 15+ points is meaningful — it usually means the average bet on the money side is materially larger than on the public side.

What is a public favorite? A public favorite is the side drawing 60% or more of the betting tickets on a given game. When the money percentage trails the bet percentage on that side, it's a signal that smaller, casual bets are stacking up there — and the larger bets are on the other side. See our methodology →.
