DonBest ATS stats
DonBest is universally recognized among industry professionals for their accuracy in pricing and market solutions for US Sports.
Tracking a teams record at the spread (ATS) and their over/under cover percentages can paint a picture of how the market is analyzing a team.
For example, a team with a great record against the spread, Boston are six games above .500 on the graph below indicating that the marketplace has underrated them more so than say Brooklyn who is five games below .500 and somewhat overrated by the market so far.
TIP: Make sure there is a decent sample size (say 20+ games) before reading too much into these stats.
Pinnacle Sports
A sportsbook manager in Vegas recently told us that Pinnacle is the pulse of NBA betting.
If there is a line move or a reaction to injury or team news, Pinnacle will move quickly.
Pinnacle’s model of allowing sharp bettors to bet decent volume allows them to also have one of the most efficient NBA betting markets in the business.

Sports Insights Bet % and charts
Following the flow of money with your bets can be very dangerous but by observing patterns in betting and what it takes to move a line you can become a more efficient bettor.
Sports Insights provide information on what team has received the most bets and also which teams hold the most volume.
They chart line movement from the opening all the way through to the close which again can be a useful tool in understanding what the market gravitates toward.
Haralabob Voulgaris
Haralabob Voulgaris is noted as one of the most successful NBA bettors of all time.
He’s also reached almost legendary status on Twitter using the handle @haralabob.
You’ll have to filter through some political and poker rants but it’ll be worth it.
Bob’s insight, outlook on betting and the game in general, is truly fascinating.
He’s one of those guys who makes the people around him smarter, every time he speaks about the sport.
Speaking of guys like that, American Football fans must follow Mike Lombardi!
Korver rarely gets open off screens or any off ball action, doesn’t have the quickness. Much better served having him hang in the corner
