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.

What are the public betting percentages for Philadelphia 76ers vs. New York Knicks?

At the latest snapshot, the Philadelphia 76ers have 68% of the spread bets and 60% of the money. The table above has both sides of the spread, the total and the moneyline.

Where is the money going in Philadelphia 76ers vs. New York Knicks?

The Philadelphia 76ers have 60% of the spread dollars against 68% of the tickets, a 8-point difference. A gap that size means the larger bets are not landing in the same proportions as the ticket count.

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.

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 230.5.

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 →
