Sharp Money vs Public Money
📖 GlossaryDefinition
- •Sharp money: Wagers from professional bettors, syndicates, and respected accounts. They bet large amounts based on models and data.
- •Public money: Wagers from casual bettors who bet based on team loyalty, media narratives, or gut feelings.
Why the Distinction Matters
100 public bettors each wager $50 on the Lakers = $5,000 total
1 sharp bettor wagers $50,000 on the Celtics = $50,000 total
The LINE will move toward the Celtics (more dollars, not more people). That's why you follow the money, not the crowd. [/example]
