Consensus Sites vs SportsInsights.com
Overview:
One of the biggest misconceptions about SportsInsights.com is
that the information found on our site is similar to information found on
“consensus” type sites. To the untrained eye this may appear to be true but
under closer examination you will see major differences.
#1 Data Source:
SportsInsights.com betting statistics come directly from multiple line boards of
the industry’s largest online sportsbooks
BetUs.com
BetUs.com,
Sportsbook.com,
CaribSports.com , and
Sportbet.com . Our information is based on
REAL BETS with real money
behind them.
Consensus sites on the other hand poll their members about
who they would bet on. The problem with this data is that it has no real money
behind it. The data is comprised of “wish list” bets: Games that people have no
real intention of betting on but feel they need to offer opinions on. An example
might help drive home this important point.
Have you ever played poker with no money? Hopefully
not…It’s not even gambling, you’re just playing cards. It’s safe to say that you
would bet a lot differently if you had $100 on the hand, than if you had 100
match sticks. The information found on consensus sites is similar to gambling
without money. Most of the information they poll is never actually bet. When a
person has no money to lose, it’s really easy to offer an opinion on every game
on the board...and unfortunately a lot of the consensus data is based on this
type information.
#2 Sampling Size:
SportsInsights.com compiles statistical data from the largest online
sportsbook (
BetUs.com,
Sportsbook.com,
CaribSports.com , and
Sportbet.com). On a typical NFL
football game, you can expect over 10,000 bets to be placed on any game at each
sportsbook, resulting in a sampling size of well over 60,000 bets. Censuses site
will draw from a much small pool of “wish list” type bets.
#3 Real Market Data:
Since SportsInsights.com data originates from the source of
the betting lines, you can see the sports beting market move as it is actually happening.
Premium & Premium Pro Members of SportsInsights.com have access to real-time data that allows
them to pinpoint Wiseguy or Smart Money action. They see when the money is coming in and what
is causing the betting line to move…all in real time.
#4 Parlay/Teaser Bet Information:
Parlay betting is by far the most popular type of bet
placed at any sportsbooks. SportsInsights.com know this and carries betting
statistics on Parlay and Teaser bets. The addition of this "exotic bet" information greatly helps
in determining “Square Plays” or “Sucker Lines”. The majority of wager places at
any sportsbooks are parlay/teaser bets.
#5 Inside Information:
The information found on SportsInsights.com is unlike any in
the world. No other site can boast real betting stats coming directly from
sportsbooks. Again, our members see what is actually happening on the line board
of some of the sports betting industry’s biggest sportsbooks. Our members know
what the sportsbooks know and have access to some of the most reliable and
powerful handicapping information to appear in the decade. Members of
SportsInsights.com can rightly consider themselves industry insiders. |
