Frequently asked questions

Does the public bet the over in NBA games?

Almost always. Over the last two seasons, 60% or more of total bets landed on the over in about 96% of NBA games. On this game the public side of the total is the Over 216.

What are the public betting percentages for Charlotte Hornets vs. Detroit Pistons?

At the latest snapshot, the Detroit Pistons have 69% of the spread bets and 73% of the money. The table above has both sides of the spread, the total and the moneyline.

How does the NBA point spread work?

The favorite gives points and the underdog gets them. A favorite at -6.5 has to win by 7 or more to cover; the underdog at +6.5 covers with a win or a loss by 6 or fewer. Unlike hockey's fixed puck line, the number itself moves with the betting.

Should you bet with the money in the NBA?

Not on the split alone. Across the last two NBA seasons, neither backing the side with more money than tickets nor fading heavily bet spread sides reliably beat the bookmaker's margin at closing prices. Splits are context for your own read, not a pick.

Are these splits from one sportsbook?

No. They reflect publicly reported sportsbook handle, aggregated, rather than a single book's customers. Individual books can differ, especially early in the day when few bets are in.

What's a meaningful bet/money split?

The gap between a side's share of tickets and its share of dollars is the number to watch. On NBA spreads a quarter of games close with the two within 2 points, the typical game sits near 4, and one in ten clears 11. A small gap means big and small bettors see the game the same way.
