Checking the betting trends on sportsbook.com

Are the percentages percentage of money wagered or percentage of bets?

Also when in the week can I start looking at these numbers objectively? For instance there are some that are 100 percent to 0 percent, I gotta assume that they are only taking into account very few bets.

Hmmmm. I think bets would be more helpful is that you can see what side the squares are betting.

Off the subject a bit but what do you guys think of sportsbook.com overall?
Ive been with them a while and heard a few bad stories of non payments but I myself have never had any trouble. I like the set up and they have some good lines on the soccer.

I've been tearing them up this year, but I think they are awful, I will almost certainly find a new book for next season. It takes a month if you're lucky to get your money. I'd search for greener pastures.

Ben why don't you just mind your own ****ing business. If you have nothing helpful to say why don't you just shut the **** up.

I made a withdrawal request and for some unknown reason it was rejected and I was never notified. A few weeks later I went back to check and saw it was rejected and made another request which is supposedly in process but it is still taking forever.

Use diamond or bookmaker. They have both been very easy for me.

They suck. I had a world of trouble getting them to pay me a big bet. The odds they gave on the site were not the odds they paid out.

But they all suck right now - so long as you don't play for a lot of money you should be ok.

If you want to play for a BR, look elsewhere.

I used to post every side the squares were betting heavy..I stopped because the feedback I got was basically"I don't believe you,you must be making this up"..What my motivation for making that up would be I still can't figure out.I think guys got offended if they bet on a side and then find out squares played it too...Believe me fading square sides has been unprofitable all year Sunday squares were all over Philly,Wash,Hous and NYG and every square in the world took the over last night.

It's % of bets not size AFAIK.

Also the steam people were questioning your sources because you listed a square side and gave no backup for why you felt that way. Even when it conflicted with all the other data out there for measuring such square interest. If someone randomly says the squares are on one side without a reasoning/source, I tend to think that every square is saying the same thing they are. Most people who make a bet tell themselves they are on the sharp side I would assume or else they wouldn't take the bet.

Your ATL play last week was based on Philly being "the biggest square play in betting history" even though the data out there was split rather evenly across all metrics I know. There ares too many people randomly spewing rubbish about what squares are on (without backup) here for us to blindly take your word for something like this.

It may be an honest mistake but without sources you're just trolling by starting threads like that imo - but the way you titled that thread you were doomed from the start anyway.
