Exchange buyers: which side buyers took (Kalshi, Polymarket (international), 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 (international) 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 the trades we read since we began reading the market 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, +733 means a $100 bet profits $733 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.

A 13.5-Point Gap at the Knapp Center

The betting market gives the South Dakota Coyotes roughly a one-in-ten shot to win Friday night. Our own rating says closer to one in four. That disagreement is the whole story of South Dakota vs Drake, and it does not resolve the way you might think. The Drake Bulldogs host at the Knapp Center on Friday, November 13 at 7:30 PM ET, streaming on ESPN+. We will walk every number and tell you whether any of them is worth your money.

Who Is Favored to Win South Dakota vs Drake?

Drake is the clear favorite, laying 13.5 points. As of Thursday, South Dakota is 1-3 and Drake is 2-0. It is very early, though. South Dakota is four games in and Drake only two, which is far too few to call anyone's form. The schedule matters more here. Drake has four days of rest, plays its third straight home game and travels nowhere. South Dakota has two days of rest and travels 188 miles.

Neither team is on a back-to-back, and nobody changes time zones. Pace is another split. South Dakota averages 71.5 possessions per game over its last 10 stored games, while Drake averages 66.4. A possession is one trip down the floor with the ball. South Dakota also averages 15.75 turnovers per game over four games. That is a tiny sample, so treat it as a clue, not a verdict.

Players to Watch

Drake's Jon Carroll is averaging 20.5 points per game over two games. That is a small sample, so we will not build anything on it. He did play 34 minutes last game, which tells you Drake leans on him. South Dakota's Vince Buzelis is averaging 17.8 points per game over four games. He has logged 62 minutes in the last seven days, and Jahni Summers played 33 minutes last game.

South Dakota vs Drake Odds and Spread, Line by Line

The moneyline is a bet on who wins outright. South Dakota is +733 at Courtside, so $100 risked profits $733.00 if they win. That price needs South Dakota to win 12% of the time just to break even. No Drake moneyline is posted in our feed. The point spread is a bet on the margin. South Dakota +13.5 at -110 on theScore Bet wins if the Coyotes win outright or lose by 13 or fewer.

The -110 is the juice, the book's built-in fee: $100 risked profits $90.91. The total is 160.5 combined points. The best Over is -105 at BetMGM, and the best Under is -110 at theScore Bet. The spread opened at Drake -13.5 and has not moved. The total opened at 161.5 and now sits at 160.5 after five moves. Shopping matters here. Drake at -104 instead of -110 is the same bet with less juice.

Where the Value Is

The no-vig number is the market's implied probability with the book's fee stripped out. Expected value is your average result per bet over many tries. South Dakota at +733 needs 12%, but the market sees about 9.7%. Our rating's 23% is context, not a bet. The underdog spread needs 52.4% against a 50.4% market read, which works out to minus $3.87. The Over is minus $3.06 and the Under is minus $3.88. Nothing here is positive.

The Pick

It breaks even at 51%, and the market's 49.6% does not clear that bar, so this is an opinion on rest and setup, not a value play. Four days of rest at home against a team on two days of rest and a road trip is our reason. Passing is a perfectly sharp choice.
