Frequently asked questions

What are the public betting percentages for Denver Nuggets vs. Houston Rockets?

At the latest snapshot, the Denver Nuggets have 61% of the spread bets and 54% of the money. The table above has both sides of the spread, the total and the moneyline.

Where is the money going in Denver Nuggets vs. Houston Rockets?

The Denver Nuggets have 54% of the spread dollars against 61% of the tickets, a 7-point difference. A gap that size means the larger bets are not landing in the same proportions as the ticket count.

What is the difference between bet percentage and money percentage?

Bet percentage counts tickets: every wager counts once. Money percentage counts dollars, so one $1,000 bet outweighs a hundred $10 ones. Reading the two together shows whether the bigger bettors agree with the crowd.

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 217.5.

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 does it mean when bets and money split?

Every ticket counts once in the bet percentage, but in the money percentage a $1,000 bet counts a hundred times more than a $10 one. When the two disagree, the bigger bets are landing somewhere other than the crowd. On NBA spreads the two usually sit close: last season the typical closing gap was about 4 points, and only about one game in eight reached 10. On its own, following the money has not reliably beaten NBA prices. See our methodology →
