Frequently asked questions

When do these NBA betting splits update?

Through the day on game days, from publicly reported sportsbook handle on a sub-hourly cadence, until tip-off. The page shows the latest snapshot each time it loads.

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.

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 are the public betting percentages for Denver Nuggets vs. New Orleans Pelicans?

At the latest snapshot, the Denver Nuggets have 66% of the spread bets and 62% of the money. The table above has both sides of the spread, the total and the moneyline.

Does the public bet the over in NBA games?

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.
