The Raymond Report Sports Betting Index (SBI) tracks betting market performance across Straight-Up (SU) favorites, Over/Under totals, and ATS (runline) favorites. Today’s snapshot shows the chalk holding strong, with the runline and moneyline both trending bullish, while totals remain flat.

  • 3-Day: 61.3% – BULLISH
  • 7-Day: 68.6% – BULLISH
  • 1-Month: 57.5% – BULLISH
  • Year-to-Date: 55.9% – Neutral

Favorites are dominating across all short-term windows, cashing nearly 69% over the past week. This is a strong bullish signal for moneyline bettors backing chalk.


Over/Under Totals – Market in Neutral Gear
