What the data says

The tickets and the dollars disagree on Washington Wizards at Charlotte Hornets. The Washington Wizards (+2.5) have 76% of the spread bets but only 65% of the money, so the average bet on the Charlotte Hornets is a good deal larger than the average bet on the Washington Wizards.

A split of 11 points is rare on an NBA spread: only about one game in eight reaches 10. It tells you the bigger bettors see this game differently from the crowd. It doesn't tell you they're right: across the last two seasons, following the money on NBA spreads did not reliably beat the bookmaker's margin.

On the total, 85% of bets and 86% of the money are on the Over 229. That's the normal pattern in the NBA: over the last two seasons, 60% or more of total bets landed on the over in about 96% of games.

Frequently asked questions

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.

Where is the money going in Washington Wizards vs. Charlotte Hornets?

The Washington Wizards have 65% of the spread dollars against 76% of the tickets, a 11-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.

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 Washington Wizards vs. Charlotte Hornets?

At the latest snapshot, the Washington Wizards have 76% of the spread bets and 65% of the money. The table above has both sides of the spread, the total and the moneyline.

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 →
