Today's Sharp Bets In NBA & College Basketball

The sports betting world never stops, and every day there is a certain side or total that professional bettors seem to love. We'll take a look here at which have the biggest position on them in terms of where the money is going in contrast to the ticket percentage, otherwise known as the "sharp bet of the day" in each sport. Sharps usually gain an edge by taking a side or total that will get bet heavily and getting the best of the number.

NBA Sharp Bet: Nuggets -12 vs. Warriors

The sharps are riding with the Denver Nuggets in tonight's NBA action against the Golden State Warriors. A whopping 84% of the total money wagered on the game is on the Nuggets, but just 31% of tickets are on that side. In contrast, just 16% of the money is on the Warriors, but a large 69% of tickets are backing that side. That means we have a fairly big 53% "Pro Money Advantage" on the Nuggets, by taking the percentage of money wagered and subtracting the bet percentage.

Tickets on the Nuggets are worth more money overall than those on the Warriors, so we know where the big money is going. We have already seen this line move in favor of the Nuggets, showing that the respected money is on their side rather than the public in this matchup.

Why is this spread so ridiculous, you might ask? Well, key players are expected to sit out for the Warriors, so it will be the Nuggets against a team of backups. As you might know, the Nuggets are one of the best teams in the NBA this season, so it's no wonder the spread is out of this world. Although, Denver has lost three of their last four games, so it will definitely want a huge win here against a lineup it should easily handle.

College Basketball Sharp Bet: San Francisco +12 at Saint Mary's

The best side to be on is the sharp side of those, and with BetQL, you'll always have the chance to swim with the sharps and cash in large this college basketball season. Today, that means taking the San Francisco Dons vs. the Saint Mary's Gaels in a West Coast showdown.

A huge 92% of the money is on the Dons here, but just 80% of the total tickets are on that side. That means that those tickets are very expensive, and a whole lot of high-rollers are laying down the cash with them. In contrast, only about 8% of the money has been wagered on the Gaels as of this writing, but 20% of tickets have been placed taking them to cover. That means those tickets aren't worth a lot of money. That gives us an 12% pro-money advantage on the Dons, making them the sharp side tonight.

We have already seen this line absolutely fly downwards with all the money that is coming in on the Dons, as this was +13.5 yesterday and has moved 1.5 points toward them. It's clear that the sharps think that the Dons can keep up with Saint Mary's, and I think they can as well. This is a huge spread, so give me San Francisco.

NCAAB Sharp Bet: Santa Clara +13 at Gonzaga

The NHL is on All-Star break, so we'll give you another sharp play in college basketball for tonight. Santa Clara is a massive 13-point underdog tonight to the Gonzaga Bulldogs, but the sharp side tonight is certainly with the Broncos. The professionals seem to think this is too many points for the Bulldogs to be laying against a very good Santa Clara team.

As of this writing, 89% of the money is on the Broncos in this one, but just 79% of the total tickets. In comparison, 11% of the money is liking the Bulldogs to cover in the game, but 21% of tickets are riding with that side. That means that the tickets that are worth a substantially higher amount of money are siding with the Broncos in the game, as 89% of the money wagered is on just 79% of the tickets placed.
