How many bets are polled for every event?
The number of bets placed is tracked on every graphing page. But some general numbers can help users judge the quality of this information. An average size sportsbook will take at least 1,000 bet items for any major pro sporting event (conservative number). The “number of bets” statistic is the total number of bets placed on that game. Bet items include any wager on the spread, moneyline, parlay, teaser, or O/U. We gather the “number of bets” stats from Skybook.com, BetUs.com, and CaribSports.com ONLY. The other sportsbook DO NOT provide us with the “number of bets” info. Estimated handle size of each sportsbook from largest to smallest, BetUs > Sportsbook.com > Skybook.com > Carib > Wagerweb > Sportbet.
