What sportsbooks should you follow on an odds screen?
Every professional bettor uses an odds screen and knowing which sportsbooks to look at is crucial for understanding market movement and bet timing.
Today in a post on X team at RAS broke down the most important sportsbooks to look at for line movement and comparing odds.
Note: the replies in this post answer many questions about these sportsbooks that could be useful for additional context to readers.
Offshores:
1. CRIS & BetOnline - Tie for first, both are first to post openers, have high limits by early morning of game day and are the sharpest of the sharp. Hard to manipulate any line without these two super influential books involved, so both will be used for fakes.
3. Pinnacle - Still a very popular option and generally sharp. Will get used for fakes a lot because limits are generally lower than CRIS/BO.
PPH:
1. BetAmapola - Highest limits around for CBB sides, especially for earlier in day. Totals will sometimes get faked, but very sharp numbers on the whole.
2. WPH - Most popular skin for higher limit PPH's, hard to get down a lot on a CBB total without using these skins, after the dust settles they will have the sharpest numbers.
Regulated:
1. Circa Sports - Will often get used for fakes because they influence other regulated shops so much, but otherwise generally one of the sharper regulated books since they will take bets and not kick you out.
2. FanDuel - Limits depend on the customer, but are typically tolerant at counter. Open as early as anyone, tend to have the sharpest numbers of all regulated apps (DK/CZ/MGM).
