Sharp Bets Of The Day For Wednesday, Jan. 4

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: Pacers +7.5 at 76ers

The sharps are riding with the Indiana Pacers at Philly in tonight's NBA action. A whopping 99% of the total money wagered on the game is on the Pacers, but just 53% of tickets are siding with Indiana here. In contrast, just 1% of the money is on the 76ers, but 47% of tickets are backing Philadelphia to cover. That means we have a fairly large 47% "Pro-Money Advantage" on the Pacers, by taking the percentage of money wagered and subtracting the bet percentage.

Tickets on the Pacers are worth more money overall than those on Philadelphia, so we know where the big money is going. We have already seen this line move toward the Pacers here, and I have a feeling it's going to continue going that way. Some places are already showing 7s on the board, so grab this 7.5 wherever you can. Remember, being "sharp" is all about getting the best number on a game.

Does the model agree with the sharps here on this bowl game? Check it out below:

NCAAB: No. 20 Missouri at No. 13 Arkansas Under 154.5

College basketball will officially take the screen time away from football very soon here, and while we are obviously sad to see football coming to an end, we have some exciting buzzer-beaters headed our way. 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 under in the Missouri vs. Arkansas game with a high expected total.

A huge 99% of the money is on the under here, but just a very small 25% of total tickets are on that side. That means that those tickets are very expensive. In contrast, only about 1% of the money has been wagered on the over as of this writing, but a massive 75% of tickets have been placed taking the over to cover. That gives us a 75% pro-money advantage on the under, making them the sharp side.

NHL: Lightning at Wild Over 6.5

Switching over to the ice, some of the best value you can find in sports betting is in the NHL. Not many people know that because they don't watch hockey, but it's true in my opinion. Tonight, the sharps are going with the over in the Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Minnesota Wild game. Tampa is coming off of a 4-1 win yesterday at Chicago. Minnesota has a good offense, and they should put up much more than the lowly Blackhawks, especially when Tampa has looked shaky on defense lately.

As of this writing, 99% of the money is on the over to cash with a bang, but just a small 27% of the total tickets are backing the goal horns to be silent in this one. In comparison, just 1% of the money is liking the under in this game, but a significant 73% of tickets are riding with it here. Obviously, it could go either way, but the sharp bettors are clearly liking the over in this game.
