Let's take a look at how our new feature is finding value on the spread.
Raptors vs. Celtics PRO Report
PRO Report angle: Celtics
Sharp Action
Shortly after their gut-wrenching Game 3 loss, the Celtics opened as two-point underdogs for tonight's Game 4. And most bettors have been happy to take the points with the team still up 2-1 in the series. Sixty-seven percent of spread bets, to be exact, have landed on Boston, and as it turns out, sharps are among those placing them.

Big Money
While an individual big bet can certainly come from any bettor, sharps are far more likely to be the heavy spenders over a large sample. As such, a major discrepancy between the percentage of bets and percentage of money hitting a side serves as another indication of professional action.
In this case, the 67% majority behind the Celtics has accounted for 95% of actual money hitting this spread.
PRO Systems
As it turns out, that bet-vs.-money discrepancy also lands Boston in one of our PRO betting systems.
In our database (since 2015), playoff favorites receiving a higher percentage of money than bets have gone 119-68-2, winning 47.2 units for a 25.3% return on investment.
