I have my setting set to receive alerts by email and all pop up are checked. I have not received any pop ups for smart money or any other notice. I am also not receiving the steam or smart money alerts by email either. My pop up blocker is off and my email is correct. Any reason on my end?

What i would like to see is when a line moves; instead of the number being hi-lighted in yellow; I would like to see a pop up that indicates the line move and with which sports book.

Hi,
I have a request to improve your sites effectiveness for me...I really want to be able to sort out stats when it comes to your square and smart money plays. I want to be able to go deeper into these plays to see what situations may be most effective.
For example...I want to see how "smart money move" underdogs (and only underdogs) are performing ATS the past month in the NBA when suggested as a smart money play. The overalll record at Olympic posted now maybe 11-11 for "smart money moves"... but further disection of this statistic may tell us that when the move was on an underdog it was 11-2, but on favorites was 0-9. Being able to sort out this type of info would cut my paperwork down a ton. I would like to be able to sort this type of information for totals, favs, dogs, home, away, etc...
This way customers can see if money moves are more effective when betting overs or unders, favorites or dogs, or home or away teams...etc... A sortable database (of sorts) that allows us to deeper investigate the smart and square moves based on their situations.
Otherwise I have to go back through all of your listed plays myself and keep records as to how favorites are doing, overs are doing etc....
Thanks,
Michael

Its 6:30 pst and the public % for the totals on nba and nhl are not posted yet...that
2 days in a row there has been a problem.....Everything has been flawless for the 3 month
that I have subscribed...until now. Will this be a continuing problem? I do all my work
about 6 to 7 in the morning before I leave. Thats what makes your service so valuable
to me...but its almost useless if the numbers are not posted timely.
Please advise

This is a great site with a full of valuable information that must have to handicape the sports games. However, I find that the injury information is not a live information which is a very important piece that can not be missed, especially in NBA that I know of the game decision starter status, and the other information that I wish if can be added to the archives option that will list all the betting information that is categorized for each of the indivisual team beside the past daily listed games. Keep up the great work SI.... many thanks

I had been unsure as to subscribing to the premium service for the past month. Nonetheless I took the plunge and am I glad I did. I had the opportunity to wager on a two NBA games tonight and won them both by tracking the % of bets. Great work and thanks again for making this info available.
I do have one question for you. In your archives you show the sides %. Do the % include the spreads, money, and parlay % averaged out? Is it possible to have the % for spread and money split out and shown in the archives?
Thanks again

one area of your FAQ indicates that all percentages are "percentages of bets" (changed 3/2005) whereas this later question & answer indicate that only 2 books give you this information:
How is the "number of bets" statistic calculated?
...The "number of bets" statistic is the total number of bets placed on that game. Bet items include any wager on the spread, moneyline, parlay, teaser, or O/U. SportsInsights.com gathers the "number of bets" stats from OasisCasino.com, and CaribSports.com ONLY...
can you please clarify. to the charts indicate quantity of money or quantity of bets on each side?
Sports Insights
We receive wagering statistics from 6 online sportsbook.
Wagering statistics included:
% of bets on the Spread
% of bets on the Moneyline
% of bets on the Total
We receive the "# of bets" data from ONLY TWO OF THE SIX SPORTSBOOKS, Oasis and Carib.
The charts represent the % of bets NOT THE % OF MONEY.

Hey guys, what just happened to the square plays? Did you guys refigure the numbers and find our your scoring was off? Also what happened with the oak/det play? Was the play on Detroit or Oakland or was it a scratch?
Sports Insights
We changed the way we calculate the bankroll number. Originally it was based on $100 bets, now it's based on $50. This is part of a larger move towards a new feature coming out next week called the "performance charts". Basically we chart each strategies performance over the last 2+ years.

I'm a big fan of the program and an avid user. One area of frustration though is the "smart money" green box. Is there an explanation of how to read the smart money plays. I can't figure out what the smart play is when the box goes green (is it the over/under or winner, and which way was "smart"?). Any chance the software can be revised to make it an easier thing to understand? Thanks very much.

how about adding to the MLB page a section/link/alert when the starting lineups/batting order is posted. also, maybe a weather link.

Excellent feedback. You can find a weather report at the bottom of every page that lists the pie graphs and indiv sportsbook stats. The weather reports appears below the Match Up info. I'll see what I can do about moving it up the page.
As for your comment on starting line ups, do you know a good place to get that info, or another site that offers it?

You have one of the most helpful websites around. It was great when you showed the money% , it is a shame you are no longer showing that. Please continue to see if you can bring that back. While everyone is entitled to make a buck, charging for each sport and level is overboard.
Sports Insights
Once again I'll state that it was not our decision to stop offering the money data. It was our sportsbooks. We are at the mercy of our contributing sportsbooks.
The information and analysis found on SportsInsights.com represents the hard work and determination of a team of industry insiders and web developers. The stats and features we provide to our members are some of the most powerful sports handicapping information ever developed. We have knowingly kept our rates well below the market price in hopes of growing SportsInsights.com while sacrificing revenue. We wanted the info and results to speak for itself. We hope our lower rates helped members evaluate the value of our information while increasing their win percentages. Sites that offer information of a lesser caliber charge 10 to 20 times our current rates.
We believe the information we provide our members with is the best in sports information industry. Unfortunately, in order for SportsInsights.com to continue to grow and bring members new pioneering sports betting analysis we are forced to raise our rates. In a perfect world we would give the information away for free, but the reality is that SportsInsights.com, like any business, must take in more revenue then it spends. We thank all members for their continued support.

What is this site doing with the money column? One minute you have it the next minute it is gone. You got to get your act together with this. This is one of the main tools a lot of cappers rely on. Please get this corrected.
Sports Insights
No other site has ever offered betting data from online sportsbooks. We are still offering the Moneyline statistics. The percentage of money (dollars) statistics is not likely to come back anytime soon. This was a decision made on the sportsbook side. It is still easy to pinpoint wiseguy action by monitoring both the line movement and betting % data.

Just two days ago, you responded to my email by explaining that Money % was % of money bet on each team and that you would be trying to get that info from all books, as opposed to just two. Now, today, it says Moneyline %. What is the deal, and how can I get the % of money bet on each team. I am willing to pay extra for it.
Sports Insights
We've received a lot of emails concerning the "Money" stat. There has been a lot of confusion as to what the “Money” statistics tracks. Originally, Oasis and Sportbet were providing us with the actual percentage of dollars on one team vs the other in terms of the spread bet. This statistics appeared in the "Money" column. Yesterday at the request of the oddsmaker at Oasis and Sportbet we discontinued tracking the dollar percentages. Oasis and Sportbet have agreed to allow us to track the percentage of bets wagered on the Moneyline. This info now appears in the "Moneyline" column.
Hopefully, this clarifies any confusion.

Forcing me to go through your nag screens over and over DOES NOT entice me to upgrade. It simply reveals how greedy and pathetic you are..... Check out VegasInsider.com....

We'd ALL like to make as much money as possible. But when you TRY to FORCE us to do something...the NATURAL impulse is to REBEL. I will NEVER sign up for your premium services until you CEASE YOUR ABUSIVE NAGGING....period.

Starting in Dec of 2004 Sports Insights now tracks MONEY PERCENTAGES for every game. MONEY PERCENTAGES are based on the total amount of money placed one team verse the other. The BETTING PERCENTAGE represent the percentage of bets on team vs another.

please explain how the line can move down on an underdog square play? if i understand the method correctly an underdog play would have heavy play in terms of % and money wagered on the favorite,thus how can the line move down? thanks
Sports Insights
Please review our FAQ page. This will help explain our stats.
http://www.sportsinsights.com/faq.asp
If the line moves in opposite direction of the betting %, it usually means sharp money came in the other side.

in describing your square info plays ,ou say you have access to the exact amount of money placed on each side...how do we get that info? all we get is the % or am i missing something..thanks...
Sports Insights
Premium members are unable to view exact dollar amount info. SportsInsights.com contacts our contributing sportsbooks and they provide us with the exact dollar amounts. We then post the day's top Square Plays on the Square Plays Info page.

I have tried to utilize the mobile feature but it has no direction in how it works. For exampel. when I download the file it asks what software to use to open it. The computer cannot figure it out and I have no idea how to do it (my software however is very up to date). Please advise. Thanks...

Hello SI, just a bit curious about the upcoming baseball season. I've noticed over the past week that I can play fairly consistantly on the point spread lines @ -110 (used as an example only). If 75% of the public is on a side there's a good shot the other side might win. But how would something like that work on baseball? For example, if the line is -175 (opening) and 85% to 90% were betting the favorite, shouldn't the line actually be going up to -180, or higher? In fact, if this occurs and the line actually drops to -170 or lower, wouldn't that mean that some heavier dollars are coming in on the dog? Just trying to learn how to interput the data. I know there are several examples of how there are several different ways this can occur. I'm sure the answer can get really complicated and lengthy. Thanks in advance for trying to clear the air.
Sports Insights
Kenneth,
Thanks for the feedback. First off, you should be taking advantage of reduced betting, http://www.sportsinsights.com/reducedjuice.asp , laying -105 instead of -110. You’ll thank me for this. Yes, baseball works the exact same way. Look for lines that are moving in the wrong direction of the bet %, but we caution members to be careful with evaluating heavy favorites, since they tend to attract only Underdog action.

in NCAA bball, games that start at midnight dont show up til the next day. i hope you can change this. i know some sites list those start times as 11:59pm EST to avoid the technicality that they are really being played the following day. Thanks.
Sports Insights
We are working on fixing the problem. The games imports as being played at 12:00AM, which is technically the next day. It will be fixed soon. If you have a premium account, the game is listed on the "List All Games" page.

Hello,
I love your added feature of the exact wagers being placed at each individual sportsbook.
However,when does an "antipublic" wager become "public"??
When there are more Sportsinsights members wagering on "antipublic" games!!
(I notice most of Sportsinsights "antipublic" games win only about 50% of time!)
Therefore,as a suggestion,how about posting how many members are currently
using Sportsinsights to wager?? (If there are too many members, then I know not
to bet "against the public"!

Your Late Game For College Is Never Listed Til The Folling Day,Why?Example:Rice Vs Hawaii,Utah Vs Byu....Thanx,Joe.

The game time is screwing it up. It imports as midnight, 12:00AM, which technically is the next day, so our script puts it in tomorrow's page. We are working to fix this.

Your pie chart percentages are different than your "straight bet" percentages. Probably just an updating problem.
Sports Insights
The main problem has been fixed. The current problem is that the box stats are updated every 60secs, while the graphs lag behind. They are only generated every 15mins.
|

David

the percentages in the graphs are always in agreement with the quick take numbers on percentages? Which is more recent? And today in Pitt/Providence and EMich/Ball St the team with the largest percentage wagers between the graphas and the quick take are reversed eg. Pitt is the team with the large percentage in the quick take but its Providence in the graph.
Please clarify asap
Sports Insights
We are working on fixing the problem. The box stats are the most recent. The pie graphs are only generated every 20mins.

Will you be offering custom reports? Instead of seeing all the games in a list, I would love to use filters to choose only the games I want to see. For example, I would like to see all College & Pro games where more than 70% of the bets are on one side?
Sports Insights
Great suggestion. We'll work on adding that feature.

OK, I don't get the MOVES AGAINST %:
Here is a case where the info is NOT highlighted
Villanova moves from -6.5 to -7.
32% backing Villanova
Here is a case where it is highlighted:
Vanderbilt goes from +5 to +4.5
39% backing Vanderbilt.
Is this only suppose to apply to moves against the favorite?
Sports Insights
Line moves against the public are not highlighted. We suggest that members
look for games with a majority % of bets on one side, 65% or higher. Also
line moves of more then 1pt of more.

I started off with just the BASIC service, then from testing it seemed to be very useful, so then I decided to be a member of the premium service. All has been very good to me. This site has been extremely helpful and I LOVE the square plays! now hitting at 57%. This is great, keep up the good work guys!

Bowling Green and Wake Forest were definite public plays, but so were Pitt and Alabama.
It would be nice to know amounts as well as percentages to help narrow it down further.

How is it after you posted the Square plays tonight you changed it. If you posted as a mistake you should leave it that way, you changed it after the tip off of games it progress , how ethical is that?
Sports Insights
The games were flip flopped. They were corrected at 6:17PM EST. The mistake was obvious. Square Plays are always plays "against the public".

Why were the smart money alerts discontinued? That is the one of the main reasons people would join this site.

They were discontinued because of technical issue. We never got it to working 100% of the time. We are working on fixing it and hope to have it back on the site by next month.

I agree with the forum idea. It should be for members only and would allow us all to work together to make the best picks possible. Also, the more sportsbooks we can add, the better and more accurate the information provided would be. Having said that, I have been a member for over a year now and your site has grown, improved, and made me a decent amount of money over that time. Keep it up.
Sports Insights
We couldn't agree with you more concerning adding a posting forum. With a little luck our posting forum with go live next week.

I just re-subscribed as a premium member for the 2nd month. However, I don't believe I'll subscribe for a 3rd month if you guys can't get information on the college basketball totals. Many books carry totals and that's the information I need. The parlay/teaser stats do me little good and the wiseguy and square play information I'm already privy to. The other valuable information on straight bets is available for free. So, are you going to be able to link to sportsbooks that carry totals on college basketball games, or not?
Sports Insights
We current offer betting percentages on total bets. Unfortunately, not all college hoops game carry totals. Any game that our contributing sportsbooks carry lines on we'll show betting stats on.

What a fascinating and promising site!
I'm not sure I understand the archive accessibility for premium subscribers. For example, if I become a premium subscriber, will I have access to every line for every day of the 2004 MLB season?
Sports Insights
Yes, you'll have access to every opening/closing line for the 2004 MLB season, plus the betting percentages for straight bets, parlays, and O/U.
