Vegas prices. Wall Street discipline. Let the tape talk.
Your Sports Betting Index (SBI) is basically the market intern that never lies. It tracks what’s actually cashing: Favorites vs Underdogs, Overs vs Unders, and ATS sides across multiple timeframes.
Here’s what the SBI is saying heading into Tuesday.
🏀 NBA SBI (Jan 13, 2026)
Favorites are still the blue-chip stock — but totals are in a full-blown bear market
1) Straight-Up (SU): Favorites = BULLISH
NBA favorites are printing like a dividend aristocrat:
- YTD: 65.5% Favorites (BULLISH)
- 3M: 65.5% Favorites (BULLISH)
- 2M: 62.5% Favorites (BULLISH)
- 7D: 61.4% Favorites (BULLISH)
- 3D: 59% Favorites (BULLISH)
- 1D: 50% (NEUTRAL)
Market read: Long-term trend is strong. Short-term (1D) went flat, but that’s normal noise—don’t overreact to one candle.
2) Totals (O/U): Unders are the hot trade
This is the headline.
- 1D: Under 67% (BEARISH for Overs)
- 3D: Under 64.7% (BEARISH for Overs)
- 7D: Under 69.7% (BEARISH for Overs) (that’s a rout)
- 1M: Under 57.5% (BEARISH for Overs)
- 2M: Under 52.3% (NEUTRAL)
- YTD: Over 49.2% (NEUTRAL)
Market read: The recent NBA total market is screaming UNDER momentum. If you’ve been betting Overs lately… congratulations, you’ve been donating liquidity.
3) ATS: Efficient market / coin-flip zone
Against the spread, the market is tighter:
- YTD: 48.5% ATS Favorites (NEUTRAL)
- 1D: 50/50 (NEUTRAL)
- 7D: Dogs 54.6% (NEUTRAL)
- 1M–3M: all NEUTRAL
Market read: SU favorites are the trend… but books are pricing that in. ATS is where you need edges, not vibes.
✅ NBA takeaway for bettors:
- SU Favorites = trend (bullish)
- Totals = Under market (strong recent momentum)
- ATS = razor-thin, pick your spots
🏒 NHL SBI (Jan 13, 2026)
NHL is still a dog-friendly market ATS — and the totals are basically “whatever the chart says this week.”
1) Straight-Up (SU): Neutral, slight tilt to chalk
NHL SU is balanced, not a runaway:
- YTD: 53% Favorites (NEUTRAL)
- 3M: 53% Favorites (NEUTRAL)
- 2M: 50.1% Favorites (NEUTRAL)
- 1M: 51.5% Favorites (NEUTRAL)
- 7D: 52% Favorites (NEUTRAL)
- 3D: 44.7% Favorites (NEUTRAL)
- 1D: 44% Favorites (NEUTRAL)
Market read: NHL doesn’t reward blind chalk. It’s not a bull market, it’s a sideways grind.
2) Totals (O/U): Small sample pop to the Over
Totals are also mostly neutral, but 1D stands out:
- 1D: Over 63% (BULLISH)
- 3D: Over 51% (NEUTRAL)
- 7D: Over 55.7% (NEUTRAL)
- 1M–YTD: basically 50/50 (NEUTRAL)
Market read: You’ve got a short-term Over spike, but the longer tape says “efficient.” NHL totals can flip fast—this isn’t a set-and-forget trade.
3) ATS: Dogs keep beating the market
This is the NHL identity:
- YTD: ATS Favorites 33.3% (BEARISH) → Dogs 66.8%
- 3M: ATS Favorites 33.4% (BEARISH)
- 2M: ATS Favorites 33.7% (BEARISH)
- 1M: ATS Favorites 36.5% (BEARISH)
- 3D: ATS Favorites 35.7% (BEARISH)
- 1D / 7D: NEUTRAL
Market read: Over months, NHL favorites have been a value trap ATS. The books shade popular teams, and underdogs keep collecting.
✅ NHL takeaway for bettors:
- SU = neutral market
- Totals = mostly efficient (watch the short-term Over pop)
- ATS Dogs = the dominant trend over 1M–YTD
SBI “Trading Desk” Summary (one-glance)
- NBA: Risk-on for SU favorites ✅ | Risk-off for overs ❌ | ATS = efficient ⚖️
- NHL: Sideways SU market ⚖️ | Totals choppy ⚖️ | ATS dogs have been the real alpha ✅
If you want the edge: SBI isn’t “who’s good.” It’s where bettors are getting paid. And if you’re serious about betting like an investor, this is exactly the type of daily market intel that turns ATS STATS memberships from “nice to have” into “why didn’t I do this sooner?”
