. Circa is a sharp Las Vegas book. Its numbers are a reference for where the number sits, not a price you can take here.
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 (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.
Polymarket (international) is not open to US bettors.

Sebastian Mack (UNLV)24.0 PPG (2 GP)
Nick Townsend (STAN)22.7 PPG (3 GP)The betting market makes Stanford a hair better than UNLV. Our own rating says the opposite, with UNLV at 62% to win. When two reads point in different directions on a game this tight, the price is where the money gets made or lost. The Stanford Cardinal visit the UNLV Rebels at the Thomas & Mack Center, and the question for Stanford vs UNLV is simple: is the number fair, or is one side paying more than it should?
As of November 12, Stanford is 3-0 and UNLV is 2-0. It is very early. Stanford is three games into the season and UNLV is two games in, which is far too few to call form. The last meeting came 341 days ago, and UNLV won it. Stanford arrives on 3 days of rest after traveling 398 miles, with no time-zone change.
UNLV has had 5 days of rest and plays game 3 of a home stand. Over their last 10 stored games, Stanford played at 65.9 possessions per game and UNLV at 70.3, so the Rebels like to play a bit faster. Stanford is 1-2 against the spread (meaning whether a team beat the betting margin, not just whether it won) over three graded games. Tip-off is Friday, November 13 at 9:00 PM ET on CBSSN.
UNLV's Sebastian Mack is scoring 24.0 points per game over two games, a small sample. Stanford's Nick Townsend is averaging 22.7 points per game over three games, also a small sample, and he is coming off a 31-point game per a November 12 headline. Both are clearly the first option for their teams. Neither sample is big enough to build a bet on, so treat them as players to watch, not as trends.
The moneyline is a straight bet on who wins. Stanford is the favorite at -113 (best at Courtside): a $100 bet profits $88.50 if Stanford wins. Break-even is the win rate a price needs just to avoid losing money over time: 53.1% for Stanford and 46.9% for UNLV. The spread is a bet on the margin. Stanford -1.5 at +102 (Courtside) needs a Stanford win by 2 or more.
The total, or over/under, is 151.5 combined points: Over -106 at Courtside, Under -105 at Fanatics. The total moved from 152.5 to 151.5 at six books, and the consensus spread opened at UNLV +1.5 and has not changed. Books build in a fee called the vig. Strip it out and the market reads Stanford 51.7%, UNLV 48.3%.
Expected value is what a bet averages per $100 risked if you could make it over and over. The UNLV +1.5 spread is a separate bet that wins or loses on the margin. Both sides of the total grade negative, so we pass. Our rating at 62% for UNLV is context only. The edge is thin, and it only exists at the best price. Shop it.
This is Wise Guy Desk analysis, not an official play. At a lower price the small edge shrinks fast, so the number matters more than the name.
We see a close home win, with UNLV pushing the pace in front of its crowd. Projected score: UNLV 76, Stanford 74. That adds up to 150 points, just under the 151.5 total, but the total is not part of our read. In UNLV vs Stanford, our case is the price, not the early-season scorelines. That is the read on this number; the Desk posts a documented free play every day, and it sits right below.
Stanford is the market favorite at -108 (best price at Novig) on the moneyline, with UNLV at +106. Lines move all day, so check the odds table on this page for the current best number at every book.

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.
