Bet Labs Pro Trend

Over at Bet Labs, we've created historically profitable betting systems for every sport. There aren't any PRO systems that match tonight's games, but one user-generated system that's been successful over the past 15 years does.

Money Disparity Causes Line Move

In this system, bettors are counting on smart money being correct. When a team is getting the minority of betting tickets but majority of betting money, and the line moves in its favor, you want to back that team.

Tonight, it applies to Vanderbilt (+17.5) at Tennessee.

You can create your own betting systems, and get our PRO systems that match three other games, by signing up for a trial of Bet Labs here.

Each day, we'll highlight one game from our sharp report page that has multiple indicators of sharp action.
