Scoresandodds shows 80% of public on the 6ers tonight. Anyone know if that number is accurate? And the line is moving the opposite direction towards tha bulls. Just wondering how accurate that is?? Thanks

great question. i use that same section for totals. ie: the public is correct in moving in Orlando games 52.3% of the time over the last 3 seasons. How the hell do they know who the public is?

Ding Ding Ding.  Following line movement after the line has moved is worthless.

You want a handicapping tip?  Spend as much time getting a good number as you do researching games. Depositing/withdrawing/depositing/withdrawing is a bitch, but I guarantee you will lose less, or win more.  I can't guarantee that for any other piece of advice

79% of their public action is Philly. Pubic does not always mean square and not sharp. Sharps bet favorites and with the public also. They are not always on opposite sides. Also, not all sharps agree. I know in football season you would hear Spiro is on Team A, but So & So  is on Team B
