Betwatch vs Action Network: questions

Is there a site like Action Network that tracks sharp money and reverse line movement?

Yes. Betwatch's Movement Tracker lists steam (several books moving the same side within minutes), reverse line moves (the line moving away from the side most tickets are on) and the book that moved first. Action Network's Sharp Action Report is part of its PRO plan.

Is Action Network PRO worth it?

It depends on what you bet with. Action Network PRO is built around expert picks, money percentages, projections and the Sharp Action Report; a bettor who mainly wants every book's price, its full line history and a +EV board gets those on Betwatch.

Does Action Network show consensus odds and opening lines?

Yes, its odds board has Open and Consensus columns. Betwatch's league and game odds pages show the consensus spread, total and moneyline now, at the open and 24 hours ago, with every sportsbook's price on the game and no account.

Does Action Network show line history for each sportsbook?

Its odds board shows an Open column next to the current price. Betwatch charts every price change at every book from the opening line to the close, keeps it for finished games, and its Movement Tracker names the book that moved first.

What is a good Action Network alternative for line shopping?

Betwatch. It puts 42 odds sources (27 sportsbooks, 9 prediction markets and exchanges and 6 pick'em apps) side by side, flags the best price on every market, including player props, and charts how each book's line moved before you bet.

Can I use Betwatch and Action Network together?

Yes. A bettor can read picks and splits on Action Network, then check Betwatch for the best current price across every book and the line's full history before betting.
