Here's a nice little tip, especially for anyone out there who doesn't have the time to pour over mountains of data to handicap games.
It's similar to the betting against the public strategy that many talk about with all these sites posting betting percentages these days. But, the betting percentages can also be misleading, because it's just based on the number of bets, NOT the actual amount of money bet.
But, this can solve that problem......
Take a look at Sports Interactions lines, aka SIA. Even Bodog, to a lesser extent, but we'll stick with SIA for this.
SIA is perhaps, THE squarest sportsbook in the world. They don't currently take US players, but that doesn't matter. They have ALWAYS moved their lines on MONEY alone. They could care less if their moves cross key numbers, etc. etc.
If they were a book anyone could bet in, their lines wouldn't be like this, because the wiseguys would pound their numbers back to where they should be. But there are no wiseguys playing there. They won't allow them to.
Look at an odds feed. You can use our free feed http://www.bettorsworld.com/live-odds.htm
Compare SIA to a sharp book, or really any book that reflects the market in general. Bookmaker, Betonline.....
Look for the games that are out of whack. For example, here on today's NFL card.
SIA is -6.5 -125 on the Ravens while the rest of the world is -5.5
SIA is -3.5 on the Cowboys while the rest of the world is -3 with low juice ie -3 -105
SIA also has the only -3 right now on the Eagles, everyone else is -2.5
You'll find spots like this every day in every sport. Especially college sports. You'll find games worth a look that otherwise you may not have looked at.
Yesterday for example, ARMY and LA TECH were jumping of the page....both were dogs of a little less than a TD.....Army won outright and LA Tech lost by 1.
It's well worth your time
