How this report is built

Every number above is market data: the share of bets and the share of money on each side from the same splits feed the betting splits boards run on, and the line moves the line movement tracker confirmed today. It is not a pick and it is not a forecast. A heavy public side, a wide money gap or a fast move tells you where the market is leaning, never who is right. Shop the number on the odds screen before you bet anything, and read the sharp money tracker and the weekly public betting report for the longer view.
