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.

How to read this: "chance to win per the betting market" comes from the actual odds with the sportsbook's built-in fee (the vig) stripped out, the market's honest opinion of the game.
🛈 Wise Guy Desk analysis - not an official play. A free breakdown to help you find value and bet the best number. Ross's documented plays are graded win or loss on the members board.
📘 New to betting? Two-minute translation. A moneyline bet is picking who wins, nothing else. In this game, +471 means a $100 bet profits $471 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.

South Carolina Upstate vs Coastal Carolina Prediction: A Big Price, a Thin Edge

Coastal Carolina is a -430 favorite at home, yet the spread just slid from 10.5 to 9.5 at four books inside five minutes. When a favorite this heavy loses a point off its number, read the price before you read the logo. The South Carolina Upstate Spartans visit the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers at The HTC Center on Monday, November 9, 2026, at 7:00 PM ET on ESPN+. Every cent of value in this game depends on which book you use.

The Matchup at The HTC Center

Both teams are 0-2. It is only two games into the season, so those records tell us almost nothing, and we will not treat them as form. The schedule is cleaner. Upstate has 2 days of rest, is not on a back-to-back, and traveled 181 miles from home with no time-zone change.

Coastal has 3 days of rest, is not on a back-to-back, and traveled 149 miles from its last game in Durham, also with no time-zone change. The last time Coastal Carolina vs South Carolina Upstate happened, 341 days ago, Coastal lost. Our rating, an Elo model built on past results and used only as context, makes Coastal 78% to win and Upstate 22%, with 66 rated games for each team.

Players to Watch

Trey Perry leads Coastal's listed numbers at 17.0 over two games, or 8.5 per game. That is a small sample. He played 24 minutes last game and 56 over the past seven days. Ries Naugle leads Upstate at 14.0 over two games, or 7 per game, also a small sample, with 32 minutes last game and 58 over seven days.

Upstate leans hard on its starters: Derek Edmond played 37 minutes last game (66 over seven days) and Amont'e Allen-Johnson played 31 (61). Coastal spread it out more, with Tristan Thompson at 23 and Jaevian Alston at 19. Pace, meaning possessions per game, is close: Upstate at 71.7 with 100.4 points per 100 possessions over its last 10 stored games, Coastal at 70 with 101.9.

Who Is Favored to Win South Carolina Upstate vs Coastal Carolina?

Coastal Carolina is the favorite. The moneyline is a bet on who wins, nothing else. The minus sign marks the favorite. Coastal at -430 (best at ProphetX) means a $100 bet profits $23.26 if Coastal wins. The spread evens out the teams with a handicap. Upstate +9.5 at -108 (Courtside) cashes if the Spartans win or lose by 9 or fewer. The -106 and -108 are the juice, the book's fee for taking the bet.

The total is the combined score: Over 149.5 at -105 (Fanatics) or Under 149.5 at -108 (Courtside). That total opened at 150 and sits at 149.5 after five moves. At the open, books ranged from 149.5 (Rebet) to 151.5 (BetRivers). Courtside moved the spread first, at 7:14 AM ET, and three books followed within 10 minutes. On Kalshi, 96% of the money traded on the moneyline is on Coastal (38 trades, $990 traded), which is light trading that can swing.

Where the Value Is

Books build a fee, the vig, into every price. Strip it out and the market reads Coastal at 81.2% and Upstate at 18.8%. Break-even is how often a bet must win just to stay level. Coastal at -430 breaks even at 81.1%. Expected value is the average result per bet if you could make it over and over.

That is the only positive number on the board. The spreads average minus $3.70 (Upstate +9.5) and minus $2.83 (Coastal -9.5), the Over minus $2.38 and the Under minus $3.70. Be honest about the size: eight cents is a hair, and our rating's 78% sits below that 81.1% break-even. Any worse price erases it.

The Pick

We like the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers moneyline at -430 at ProphetX. This is a price play, not a statement about form. It wins only because that book pays a touch more than the market's own read.

The Prediction

We see Coastal 79, Upstate 70. That adds to 149, one half point under the 149.5 total. A 9-point win would also cash Upstate +9.5 and sink Coastal -9.5, which is a reminder that the spread is a separate bet on the margin. Our read is on the moneyline only. That is the read on this number; the Desk posts a documented free play on days like this, and it lands right below.
