When it comes to tracking market activity, we refer to "sharp bettors" (also called wiseguys or professionals) as those who are profitable over the long haul and command the respect from oddsmakers to move lines based on their action.
On the other hand, "public bettors" (also called squares) wager for fun or action, but do not win over the long term.
Because public bettors don't typically affect sportsbooks' bottom line, they have little influence on odds movement across the market.
So, when public bettors are loading up on one side of a game, yet the line is moving the other way, it's typically a sign that sharps are betting the other side.
And according to our College Basketball PRO Report, Friday morning's Maryland vs. Michigan Big Ten Conference Tournament matchup is setting up as a classic sharps vs. squares showdown.
Let's take a look.
