Getting a handle on the handle

I have a robust skepticism of these accounts of how the wagers are coming in, for instance SBR has

81% of the dough being on Jets + 6

77 % on Ravens + 3'

ain't no fukn way on either

If anyone has knowledge of a site they trust LMK

How would it help the books to put out accurate info of this nature.

On Sunday morning you can pull up Patrick Everson on twitter. He collects real time data from multiple Las Vegas based sportsbooks plus some offshore sites and reports them on his page. It seems like the most legit source I have found. @PatrickE_Vegas (you don't need a twitter account to access it, just google search it)

T.Y. my friend, btw howd you know i know jackchit about twitter 

@Getty3

Solid info there. Thanks Brother 

I don't trust any of the sites. Thanks Getty 

Mathew Holt the ex Sportbook manager at the Westgate said that no sportsbook ever will give out their transaction log to any 3rd party ever. Ditto the current Sportsbook manager over at Boyd Gaming Bob Scucci.

You guys who think you are getting real sportsbook figures: handle and ticket counts are delirious.

There is no gaming entity in VEgas, Caribbean or Europe that just opens their ledger to the general public. Think about it. These are publicly traded companies. Their daily transactional ledger is not public information and never will be.

You're all being duped weather paying or for free. Go ahead, ask your source the name of the sportsbook that is handing over their book that is the source of these handles and ticket counts. They won't tell you because it's either some mom and pop handing out fake data from Lughlin Nevada or its a scrape of contests like the ones here on Covers. Wake up you gullible fools.

On a side note William Hill will sometimes tweet handle information AFTER the game is over and even then you have to take it with a grain of salt.

Ask yourself why doesn't the MGM Grand just publish their handle and ticket counts on their own website? Why would they spill this info to say a website like Covers and Covers keeps their source a secret and not advertise "Straight from the MGM Grand here are the ticket counts and handles for MNF!"

Think about it. Ticket counts and handles are gimmicks based on guesses just to get you looking at that website - or worse, paying that website.
