How to Use the NBA Public Betting Chart (Example)
Suppose the Los Angeles Lakers opened –3.5 vs the Boston Celtics, but now the market sits at Lakers +1.5 and Celtics –1.5. Our NBA public betting chart shows roughly 40% of tickets on the Lakers and 60% on the Celtics. That flip toward Boston—despite more tickets already favoring the Celtics—suggests sharper money likely pushed the price their way. A contrarian might consider Lakers +1.5 if the move has over-adjusted.
Color Key: In all charts, the home team is shown in blue and the away team is shown in red. This makes it easy to compare ticket percentages at a glance.
Using NBA Public Betting Percentages with Line Movement
NBA public betting ticket split percentages are best used as context. Track where the crowd is, then watch how the number reacts. If the line follows heavy ticket percentages without resistance, value may be thin. If the line moves against the crowd, it’s a sign to investigate the other side or pass the game. Apply the same process consistently rather than chasing one-off anomalies.
