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.

Neither team has played a game yet, and the betting market still cannot settle. The total has climbed from 148.5 to 151.5 over four moves, and the consensus spread has slid from McNeese -3.5 to -2.5 over three. The UAB Blazers and McNeese Cowboys tip Monday, November 2 at 5:30 PM ET at Rock Hill Sports & Event Center, streaming on YouTube. It is a neutral site, so neither team is really home, even though McNeese is listed as the home side. When a number moves this much, where you buy matters more than usual.
McNeese is the favorite at -160. UAB is the underdog at +153. Both teams are 0-0, so it is too early for streaks, standings or a season series. Our rating (an Elo model built on stored results, with 69 rated games for each team) gives McNeese a 68% chance and UAB 32%. That is a bit more confident than the market's 62% to 38%. It is context, not a bet.
On travel, UAB came 344 miles from its last game in Birmingham and McNeese came 931 miles from Oklahoma City. Each crossed one time zone east. Over their last 10 stored games, UAB averaged 67.6 possessions and 108.2 points per 100 possessions. McNeese averaged 67.1 possessions and 113.3 points per 100. A possession is one trip down the floor. Same tempo, but McNeese scored more efficiently.
Our player data does not tag teams, so we stick to the numbers. All of it comes from past stored games, not this season. Larry Johnson averaged 20.4 points and 7.2 rebounds over his last 5 games, up from 18.3 and 6.2 over 10 games. Tyshawn Archie is the steady scorer at 15.8 points over 5 games and 15.7 over 10. Garwey Dual averaged 8.8 points and 3.4 rebounds over 5 games. Jacolb Fredson-Cole (3.8 points over 5 games), Jerrell Colbert (3 points over 5 games) and Peitok Machar (2.6 points over 5 games) played smaller scoring roles. Past games are context, not a prediction.
The moneyline is a bet on who wins, nothing more. UAB +153 at Courtside means a $100 bet profits $153 on a win. You need UAB to win 39.5% of the time just to break even. McNeese -160 at BetMGM means you risk $100 to profit $62.50, with a 61.5% break-even. The spread is a bet on the margin.
UAB +3.5 at Hard Rock Bet (-110) wins if UAB wins outright or loses by 3 or fewer, with a 52.4% break-even. McNeese -3.5 at BetMGM (-102) needs a win by 4 or more, with a 50.5% break-even. The total is combined points. Over 151.5 is best at Courtside (-103, 50.7% break-even). Under 151.5 is best at Caesars (-110, 52.4%). Those are the best prices across the books we track. Shopping is the edge.
Every book bakes in a fee called the vig. That is an average over many bets, not what you win on one ticket.

Yes. This is a free Wise Guy Desk breakdown, our analysis, not Ross's official plays. Ross's documented plays are bet with real money and graded win or loss on the members board.
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.
