The problem is this: These consensus sites, or the sites that host one, are usually in bed with the sports books through ads. Their motivation to improve on the public consensus model is lacking.
I agree that the model on the market right now provides little to no insight into the psychology of the average bettor. Just because these sites won't improve the model or sports books won't improve the model, that doesn't mean we can't improve the model for ourselves. Because really, a bettor run and operated consensus would be the only consensus that could be trusted, not to mention we would be able to make it a lot more detailed. Give you the opportunity to lay your eues on numbers and stats they've never seen before.
There's a reason why the current format is vague and misleading. That's because the current consensus format is more rouse than tool. Imagine if a site had a tool that enabled mediocre handicappers to become big winners. Would 5Dimes advertise there and give away sign up bonuses? Would Bovada? I wouldn't if I owned those books.
It's my mission to change the way people look at consensus information. Create a real tool that was able into much further detail than 55/45.
