Frequently asked questions

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.

Where is the money going in Denver Nuggets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder?

The Denver Nuggets have 52% of the spread dollars against 59% 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.

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 236.5.

What are the public betting percentages for Denver Nuggets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder?

At the latest snapshot, the Denver Nuggets have 59% of the spread bets and 52% of the money. The table above has both sides of the spread, the total and the moneyline.

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 →
