Wiseguy
A professional or highly skilled bettor who consistently beats the market. Wiseguys are respected by sportsbooks (and feared by their bottom line).
Like following a sommelier's wine picks instead of guessing on your own: expertise saves you from expensive mistakes.
Why it matters
Wiseguy action moves lines. Learning to identify and follow wiseguy moves is one of the most effective strategies for recreational bettors.
How DMP uses this
DMP's sharp money indicators help identify when wiseguy-level action has moved a line, distinguishing it from public money movement.
Common mistake
Assuming every large bet is from a wiseguy — big bets from recreational whales move lines too, but they don't carry the same signal.
