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 +6.5 at Jazz

The sharps are riding with the Los Angeles Clippers in tonight's NBA action against the Utah Jazz. A whopping 90% of the total money wagered on the game is on the Clippers, but just 53% of tickets are on that side. In contrast, just 10% of the money is on the Jazz, but a large 47% of tickets are backing that side. That means we have a 37% "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 Jazz, so we know where the big money is going. The line has not moved thus far since the opener, staying at a flat +6.5 as of right now. We'll have to keep watch of the line to see if it moves toward the Clippers as the game draws closer.

Clearly from the information that we have, the money is all starting to pour into the Clippers here, but the line may be stagnant because of injury concerns. 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: Texas A&M -3.5 vs. Florida

The best side to be on is the sharp side, 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 Texas A&M Aggies vs. the Florida Gators in an SEC showdown.

A huge 96% of the money is on the Aggies here, but just 51% 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 4% of the money has been wagered on the Gators as of this writing, but 49% of tickets have been placed taking them to cover. That means those tickets aren't worth a lot of money. That gives us a 45% pro-money advantage on the Aggies, making them the sharp side.

Both of these teams have been hot recently. Florida has won its last three games, while Texas A&M has won its last five straight. These two teams played each other at the beginning of the month, and the Aggies came out on top, 66-63.

NHL Sharp Bet: Flames ML vs. Avalanche

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 Calgary Flames tonight vs. the Colorado Avalanche. It's clear that the professional bettors are liking the value here with the Flames against a middling Avalanche team.

As of this writing, 46% of the money is on Flames to take home a victory, but just 27% of the total tickets. In comparison, 54% of the money is liking the road Avalanche to win this one, but a massive 73% of tickets are riding with that side here. The money is almost split in this one, but the amount of total tickets in the game is overwhelming toward the Avalanche, which means that those tickets clearly aren't worth as much as the 27% that is covering 46% of the money with Anaheim.
