(PRWEB) December 8, 2005 -- The most accurate gauge of public opinion in any sporting event is the sports betting market. By tracking the “number of bets” and “percentage of bets” placed on every match, SportsInsights.com shows readers which teams the public is favoring.

All wagering statistics come directly from the lineboards of six independent online sportsbooks, and represent actual bets placed. We invite the sports media to take advantage of these unique statistics for use in stories, or a sidebar graphic.

NFL WEEK 13 Recap

And the hits just keep coming! NFL Week 13 continued the sportsbook march to one of the most miserable NFL seasons on records. NFL Week 13 witnessed every favorite covering. That’s bad news for the sportsbooks. All books reporting large loses on NFL Sunday. Scott Kaminsky head lineman at Bowmans.com summed it up best, “It was ugly. We pretty much lost every major decision.”

NFL WEEK 14 Preview

NFL Week 14 couldn’t come quick enough for the sportsbook industry. Look for handle sizes to increase as most betting accounts are flush with cash. Mark my words: the public will be chasing every heavy favorite on the board this week. I’d look for value in betting underdogs, as the sportsbooks will noticeably shade lines in an attempt to recoup some revenue and salvage something out of a dismal 2005 NFL season.

We anticipate New England, Indy, Cincinnati, and Denver to be the most “lopsided-bet” games of the week. Visit SportsInsights.com for real-time wagering statistics and information.
