We are pleased to announce that Sports Insights will be regularly publishing the performance of a "Sports Investing Index" to help track the performance of investing in the sports betting marketplace.

Introduction
Sports Insights has been a leader in sports information for over a decade. Sports Insights' core beliefs have always revolved around "Betting Against the Public" and applying an academic approach to the sports marketplace. Sports Insights collects data from sportsbooks -- and its historical database has allowed Sports Insights' Members and researchers to highlight marketplace biases and trends. Over the years, this professional approach has allowed Sports Insights to add to its repertoire -- and increase its offerings.

Sports Insights will be publishing a Sports Investing Index to reflect the performance of applying contrarian value approaches to the major US sports marketplaces. The origins of the Sports Investing Index were published in our book, "Sports Investing: Profiting from Point Spreads."
Inherent Return: A Real, Edge
Betting Against the Public has proven to work across all of the major sports. Its consistency is remarkable; we have seen that Betting Against the Public and Sports Insights' Square Plays have consistently won in the 53%-57% range, on average. While some may claim that the edge is relatively small, the edge is definitely "real" -- with a good reason and backing -- for the biases that we measure and apply.
We have also seen that this approach of Betting Against the Public works particularly well in "big games" or "games of national focus." The rationale is that with more of the public watching a game, more public biases occur in the sports betting marketplace (such as betting on "favorites" and "overs"). This leads to an increase in the edge for "sharp bettors."
Sports Insights is proud of its history of pre-published plays that its Members have used to achieve an edge in the sports betting arena.

We do not guarantee that the trends and biases we’ve found will continue to exist. It is impossible to predict the future. Any serious academic research in the field of “market efficiencies” recognizes that inefficiencies may disappear over time. Once inefficiencies are discovered, it is only a matter of time before the market corrects itself. We do not guarantee our data is error-free. However, we’ve tried our best to make sure every score and percentage is correct.
