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.
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.

Bryson Tiller (MIZ)18.0 PPG (2 GP)
Jordan Pickett (SIUE)13.7 PPG (3 GP)Missouri opened as a 28.5-point favorite. The market has since pushed that to 29.5, right to the doorstep of a 30-point blowout. The SIU Edwardsville Cougars visit the Missouri Tigers at Mizzou Arena on Monday night at 8:00 PM ET on SECN+. Nobody is really asking who wins. Bettors are asking by how much.
Missouri, clearly. As of publication, SIU Edwardsville is 2-1 and Missouri is 1-1. That is only three games for one team and two for the other. Those records are not form, so we will not treat them that way. Our rating, an Elo model built on past results, gives Missouri a 65% chance to win and SIU Edwardsville 35%. That is context only, not a bet.
On Kalshi, a betting exchange, 96% of the money traded on the winner market is on Missouri, but that is just 72 trades and $1.7k, so the share can swing. On schedule, SIU Edwardsville has one day of rest and is on game two of a road trip after traveling 360 miles from Nashville. Missouri has two days of rest after a 117-mile trip from St. Louis. Neither team is on a back-to-back.
Missouri's listed leader is Bryson Tiller, at 18.0 over two games (9 per game), a small sample. A Nov. 8 headline highlighted his 26-point showing. He played 35 minutes last game, and Jason Crowe Jr. played 34. For SIU Edwardsville, Jordan Pickett sits at 13.7 over three games (4.6 per game), also a small sample. He logged 31 minutes last game, the same as David Wilson. Over its last 10 stored games, Missouri has played at 69 possessions per game and scored 117.1 points per 100 possessions. SIU Edwardsville has played at 67.3 possessions and scored 107.4 per 100.
The point spread is a handicap. SIU Edwardsville +29.5 at -103 (best at Courtside) wins if SIU Edwardsville wins outright or loses by 29 or fewer. It loses on a 30-point loss. The half point means no push (a tie that refunds your bet). The -103 is the price. You risk $100 to profit $97.09, so you need to win 50.7% of the time to break even. Missouri -29.5 at -110 (best at theScore Bet) needs a win by 30 or more.
A $100 bet profits $90.91, and the break-even is 52.4%. The total, the combined points of both teams, is 148.5. Over is -113 at Courtside (break-even 53.1%). Under is -103 at Courtside (break-even 50.7%). No moneyline, a straight bet on who wins, is posted on our board. SIU Edwardsville +29.5 and the Under tie for the lowest break-even at 50.7%. Shop around, because that gap in price matters.
Books build in a fee called the vig. Strip it out and you get the no-vig number, the market's own read. The market puts SIU Edwardsville's cover chance at 49.5%, below its 50.7% break-even. Expected value is your average result per $100 risked if you made this bet over and over. Here it is minus $2.50. Nothing on this board is positive. SIU Edwardsville +29.5 simply carries the smallest expected loss per $100 risked.
We lean SIU Edwardsville +29.5 at -103 at Courtside. Call it a matchup lean, not a value bet, because the no-vig cover number sits below break-even. A $100 bet profits $97.09 if it wins. If a book posts +30 at the same price, take it, since a 30-point loss would then push instead of lose.
Missouri controls this game, but winning by 30 or more takes a lot to go right. The line already moved a full point toward Missouri, which hands the Cougars a bigger cushion. We project Missouri 86, SIU Edwardsville 61, a 25-point margin. That adds to 147, a point and a half under 148.5, though we are not betting the total. That is the read on this number; the Desk posts a documented free play on days like this, and it lands right below.
Missouri should win comfortably, but a 30-point margin is a tall order, so we lean SIU Edwardsville +29.5 at -103 as a matchup read, with the math showing no clean value anywhere.

Expected value first: the best price across the regulated US books we track versus the true fair price with the vig removed, then the matchup data (form, standings, injuries, key players). Line shopping for the best number is the edge most bettors leave on the table.
