Consensus translates to what percentage the general public is taking on each side of a game. In general people will always side with the public no matter which teams are playing and what the trends say. For others, the public is always wrong and they will constantly go against them when making their selections. There is a tendency for people to pick public teams as a result of a team being hyped by sports media because they are consistently winning straight up. Keep in mind that odds experts are the people who set opening lines with the public in mind, trying to get them to lean in a certain direction. Sportsbooks use these trends to their advantage when setting the odds and lines. This page helps you stay informed by showing the Percentage of Wager (POW) index. This index helps to educate you on who the public is going with on by showing the perctentage, on average, that was wagered on a team for every $100 placed on games involving that team, for the specified season.
