Today's Sharp Bets In NBA, NHL & 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: Clippers -1.5 vs. 76ers

The sharps are riding with the Los Angeles Clippers in tonight's NBA action against the Philadelphia 76ers. A whopping 97% of the total money wagered on the game is on the Clippers, but just 46% of tickets are on that side. In contrast, just 3% of the money is on the 76ers, but a large 54% of tickets are backing that side. That means we have a huge 51% "Pro-Money Advantage" on the Clippers, by taking the percentage of money wagered and subtracting the bet percentage.

Tickets on Los Angeles are worth more money overall than those on the 76ers, so we know where the big money is going. We have already seen this line move in favor of the Clippers, so much so that they actually flipped from underdogs to favorites in this game.

This game opened at -2 in favor of the 76ers but has since totally flipped to -1.5 for the Clippers. Clearly, the sharp money is coming into this game on Los Angeles. As always, before betting on the NBA, I implore you to check the injury reports. Players are being ruled out just minutes before the game tips, so be very careful with how you bet on this sport.

College Basketball Sharp Bet: Massachusetts +10 at VCU

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 Massachusetts Minutemen vs. the VCU Rams in an Atlantic 10 showdown.

A huge 90% of the money is on the Minutemen here, but just 20% 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 10% of the money has been wagered on the Rams as of this writing, but 80% of tickets have been placed taking them to cover. That means those tickets aren't worth a lot of money. That gives us a 65% pro-money advantage on the Minutemen, making them the sharp side.

This isn't too much of a shock to see UMass getting a bit of love here from the sharp bettors. This is a huge number, even on the road, to be laying against a pretty good team like the Minutemen.

NHL Sharp Bet: Ducks ML at Flyers

Let's head over to the ice for the final sharp play of the night. If you don't bet on the NHL, you are missing out. There is some tremendous value in hockey. The sharps are going with Anaheim Ducks tonight vs. the Philadelphia Flyers. It's clear that the professional bettors are liking the value here with the Ducks against a poor Flyers team.

As of this writing, 50% of the money is on Ducks to take home a victory, but just 13% of the total tickets. In comparison, 50% of the money is liking the home Flyers to win this one, but a massive 87% of tickets are riding with that side here. The money is split in this one, but the amount of total tickets in the game is overwhelming toward the Flyers, which means that those tickets clearly arent worth as much as the 13% that is covering 50% of the money with Anaheim.
