Thanks, but I can't find where he gives out these percentages (website, his twitter page, etc. does not have it)? Is it just the LVH bets that he gives out? Does he give them to you? What is the benefit of Vegas giving out these percentages? What other sources did you get this info from? I just don't understand where people keep getting these percentages from and saying that it is "public bettors". I guess until there is a legitimate source that someone has found for these games, the percentages can easily be skewed. So, the below saying can be said by everyone and their mother who bets on a team.
If Vegas gives us the information then why do people go check BR's needs. Vegas would honestly not let their needs out there ever. Why would they do that, someone with a bank roll could put tons of money all year on their needs, it doesn't make sense. The return would be better than the stock market. I have no doubt "Vegas" posts some percentages but I would be weary of their accuracy.
Thanks Tim. i appreciate the info and I believe you that they know the percentages as they set the lines. however, I take it all with a grain of salt, because they don't have to give out real numbers. i just wanted solid proof that they give out these numbers. Does he tell people that the sharps are taking certain plays?
Gumbi, you ask a very interesting question and one I've asked for years.
Yeah, public percentages are great and all but I've always wondered where the money is.
For example, 75% of the bets could be on SF while 75% of the money could be on GB if you get what I'm saying. Books will not give out this information.

I doubt any give out actual percentages. I view it like election polling, we knew Obama was going to win by the polling percentages. You take samplings from many betting sites and you have a good idea what the numbers are within a tolerance of course. Why do you think so many people speak of RLM?
%'s mean nothing to me. Like in the old days when Bob Martin was setting the lines, it's all about the 'faces"
But back to this game. Suffice to say that the average player just figured Cincy in the cold would roll. The sharps/wiseguys are betting numbers and +7 confirmed belief that SD matched up very well in this game. Never a guaranteed win, but this is one the sharps really liked.
