FAQs
What are MLB betting splits?
MLB betting splits show how the betting public is wagering on a game. They display the percentage of total bets and total handle (money wagered) on each side of a market, including the Moneyline, Run Line and total.
What is the difference between bets and handle?
Bets refer to the number of individual wagers placed on a side, while handle represents the total dollar amount wagered. A side can have fewer bets but a higher handle percentage when larger individual wagers are placed on it.
How do betting splits identify sharp money?
Sharp money is identified when the handle percentage significantly exceeds the bets percentage on a given side. This gap indicates that fewer but larger wagers are being placed, which is typically associated with professional or well-informed bettors.
Should you follow betting splits?
Betting splits are one useful tool for handicapping, but they should not be used in isolation. They work best when combined with other research such as pitching matchups, team stats, injuries and recent form. Sharp money signals add context but do not guarantee outcomes.
