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.
Polymarket US lists moneyline for this game. Polymarket US does not publish trades, so it shows prices only and no buyer split is drawn. It is a separate venue from Polymarket and is never added into its numbers.

Backing the St. Thomas Tommies at the best moneyline on the board, -157, needs them to win 61.1% of the time just to break even. The market's own read, with the bookmaker's cut stripped out, gives them 59.9%. That small gap is the theme of this card. St. Thomas visits the Presbyterian Blue Hose at Templeton Center on Monday, November 2, 2026, at 7:00 PM ET on ESPN+, and both teams are opening their seasons. St. Thomas vs Presbyterian looks simple. The prices say otherwise.
St. Thomas is the favorite at -157 and Presbyterian the underdog at +145. Neither team has played a game yet this season, so this is the opener for both and there is no current-season record to lean on. The schedule is the story. St. Thomas is on game 2 of a road trip, traveled 2,264 miles from its last game in Seattle and crossed three time zones heading east.
Presbyterian traveled 130 miles from Johnson City with no time-zone change. Over its last 10 stored games, St. Thomas played at 67.6 possessions per game and scored 117.7 points per 100 possessions. Presbyterian sat at 68.2 and 106.7 over the same span. Our rating, an Elo model used only as context, has St. Thomas at 58% and Presbyterian at 42%, close to the market's 60/40 split.
Six names stand out in our stored game logs. Nolan Minessale is the headliner, with 19.4 points and 6.6 rebounds per game over his last five games (20.3 points over 10) in 34.6 minutes. Nick Janowski averaged 11.6 points over his last five games and 14.5 over 10, with 4.8 rebounds in both windows. Ben Oosterbaan posted 11.4 points and 5.8 rebounds per game over his last five (10.7 points over 10). Carter Bjerke rose to 9.2 points over his last five games from 6.9 over 10. Hayden Tibbits (2.4 points over five games, 8 minutes) and Jermaine Coleman (1.2 points over five games, 6.2 minutes) play short stretches.
The moneyline is a bet on who wins. At -157 (betPARX), a $100 bet on St. Thomas profits $63.69. At +145 (ReBet), a $100 bet on Presbyterian profits $145. The point spread is a handicap. St. Thomas -3.5 (-113 at Courtside) wins only if St. Thomas wins by 4 or more, so a 3-point win loses. Presbyterian +3.5 (-103 at Courtside) wins if Presbyterian wins outright or loses by 3 or fewer.
The half point means no push (a tie that refunds your bet). The spread opened at Presbyterian +3 and reached +3.5 after 7 moves, a drift toward St. Thomas. The total, both teams' combined points, is 145.5, with Over and Under each -108 at Courtside, down from an opening 146.5. These are the best prices across the books we track. Shopping for them is the edge.
The vig is the bookmaker's built-in fee. Remove it and the market reads this game about 59.9% St. Thomas, 40.1% Presbyterian. Expected value is what a bet averages per $100 risked over many tries. At that read, St. The spreads are worse: minus $3.56 on St. Thomas -3.5 and minus $3.74 on Presbyterian +3.5. Both sides of the total sit at minus $3.70. Thomas and +152 for Presbyterian, and neither current price reaches it. Nothing here is positive.
Our lean is the Presbyterian moneyline at +145 at ReBet, and it is thin. The case is the travel: St. Thomas crossed three time zones east on game 2 of a road trip, while Presbyterian's trip was 130 miles. If your book shows worse than +145, pass.
Our Presbyterian vs St. Thomas prediction starts with respect for the visitors' offense, which was sharper in our stored data. A long trip east is the kind of spot that can blunt that. We see roughly 68 possessions and Presbyterian holding serve late. Projected score: Presbyterian 72, St. Thomas 70. That adds to 142, under the 145.5 total, though neither side of the total pays at -108. This is Desk analysis, not an official play.
