Exchange buyers: which side buyers took (Kalshi, Polymarket, Novig, ProphetX)

These are exchange trades, not sportsbook bets. On an exchange every trade has a buyer and a seller, so this shows which side buyers paid for.

How to read these numbers

Kalshi, Polymarket and Novig publish every trade with the side the buyer took. ProphetX carries its trade fills the same way; a line with no captured fill shows dollars matched only. Trades is each side's share of trades since the market opened and Money is its share of the dollars buyers paid. Markets with fewer than 10 trades or under $500 traded are left out; markets under 30 trades or $5,000 are labelled Light trading, because a few buyers can move the percentages a long way.

📘 New to betting? Two-minute translation. A moneyline bet is picking who wins, nothing else. In this game, +217 means a $100 bet profits $217 if it wins. The spread is a head start: -7.5 must win by 8+, while +7.5 cashes by losing by 7 or fewer (or winning). The total is combined points by both teams, over or under the books' number. +EV means the price pays better than the market-implied fair odds (vig removed); consistently taking better prices raises your expected return over time.

Purdue vs Gonzaga: The Cash and the Price Disagree

Gonzaga is a -223 favorite. Yet 82% of the money traded on Kalshi's moneyline is on Purdue. That split between where the price sits and where the cash is moving is the whole story of this Monday night game. The Purdue Boilermakers and Gonzaga Bulldogs meet on a neutral floor at T-Mobile Arena, tipping at 7:30 PM ET on TNT. Neither team has played a game that counts yet, so every number here is a price, not a record.

The Matchup: Who Is Favored to Win Purdue vs Gonzaga?

Both teams are 0-0. It is the very start of the season, so the prices are what we have to work with. Neither team is at home. Purdue traveled 756 miles from its last game in Portland. Gonzaga traveled 383 miles from San Jose. Neither changed time zones. The books make Gonzaga the favorite. Our rating, an Elo model built on stored results, reads it much tighter: Gonzaga 51%, Purdue 49%.

That is context, not a bet. The style numbers matter more. Over the last 10 stored games, Purdue played at 65.5 possessions per game (a possession is one trip down the floor) and scored 116.1 points per 100 possessions. Gonzaga played slower, at 62.6 possessions, and scored 127.1 per 100. A Nov 1 headline billed this one as "No. 15 Gonzaga Bulldogs take on the Purdue Boilermakers."

Players to Watch

The player notes in our data are all Boilermakers. Trey Kaufman-Renn averaged 18.8 points and 6.2 rebounds over his last five stored games (16.3 points over his last 10) in 29.6 minutes a night. Braden Smith averaged 16.2 points over his last five (12.3 over 10) while playing 36 minutes a game. Oscar Cluff averaged 12.6 points and 7.8 rebounds over his last five (13 and 8.7 over 10). C.J. Cox averaged 8.6 points over his last five (9.7 over 10). Gicarri Harris (3 points per game over his last five, 14.2 minutes) and Daniel Jacobsen (0.8 over his last five, 6 minutes) are depth pieces.

The Numbers: Purdue vs Gonzaga Odds and Spread

The moneyline is a bet on who wins outright. It must win 69% of the time to break even. The spread is a bet on the margin. Purdue +5.5 at -105 (Hard Rock Bet) wins if Purdue wins or loses by 5 or fewer. It loses on a 6-point loss, and the half point means no push (a tie that refunds your bet). Break-even is 51.2%.

Gonzaga -5.5 at -102 (ProphetX) needs a win by 6 or more, with a 50.5% break-even. That spread opened at -5.5 and has not moved. The total (combined points) is 153.5, down from 155.5 after six moves. Over -106 at ProphetX breaks even at 51.5%. Under -105 at FanDuel breaks even at 51.2%. These are the best prices we found. Shop for them, because a worse number at another book costs you real money.
