How it works

1. Collection

Roughly every two hours, our pipeline scans publicly available picks on tipster sites and communities such as Reddit. We never store or republish the content itself — each pick simply becomes a tally mark for one side of one market (for example, “Over 27.5 points for player X”).

2. Aggregation

Mentions of the same market are normalized and grouped, even when lines differ slightly between sources. For every market you see three numbers, always together:

• Mention volume — how many public picks referenced this market. More mentions = a stronger signal of attention.
• Consensus % — how those mentions split between sides (Over/Under, Home/Away…).
• Indicative odds — an approximate odds bucket (like ~1.90), because a 95% consensus on a 1.10 favorite means very little, while 80% on a 2.20 underdog is interesting.

That's also why we never show the percentage alone: a market cited 150 times with a 60/40 split and a niche market cited 10 times at 90/10 are both interesting — for completely different reasons. Use the filters on every list to explore both.

3. Reliability (coming soon)

We grade every source over time by tracking how its picks actually performed. This reliability score is currently in data collection and will appear next to the consensus once it is statistically meaningful.

Freshness

Every page shows a “last updated” timestamp. Data refreshes automatically after each pipeline run, roughly every two hours.

Remember: consensus is not correctness. The public can be loudly wrong. BeeTheOdds shows you what the hive is saying — never what you should do. See our responsible gambling page.
