FAQs
What are MLB betting splits?
MLB betting splits show the percentage of bets and handle (total money wagered) on each side of a market. They help bettors see where the public and sharp money are landing on a given game.
What is the difference between bets and handle?
Bets refer to the number of individual wagers placed, while handle represents the total dollar amount wagered. A small number of large bets can move the handle significantly, which is why the two percentages often diverge.
How do betting splits identify sharp money?
When the handle percentage on one side is much higher than the bet percentage, it typically means a smaller number of large wagers from sharp or professional bettors are driving the money. The side with more handle than bets is often considered the sharp side.
Should you follow betting splits?
Betting splits are one useful data point but should not be the sole factor in making a wager. Combining splits with starting pitcher analysis, team stats, and situational factors gives a more complete picture before placing a bet.
