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.

The Old Dominion Monarchs opened as 1-point favorites. Two line moves later, they are getting 1.5 points on their own floor. The market has nudged the Western Michigan Broncos into the favorite's chair, yet the moneyline still reads like a coin flip. When two teams are priced this close, the number you get matters more than the team you like. Western Michigan vs Old Dominion tips Monday, November 2, at 7:00 PM ET on ESPN+, and we went hunting for the best number.
Both teams are 0-0. This is the season opener for both teams, so neither has a current-season result to lean on. Western Michigan is the slight market favorite. Strip out the vig (the fee a sportsbook builds into every price) and the odds give Western Michigan about 51% and Old Dominion about 49%.
Our rating, an Elo model built on stored results, sees it differently: Old Dominion 68%, Western Michigan 32%. That is context, not a bet. Over their last 10 stored games, Old Dominion played at 70.2 possessions per game and scored 116.9 points per 100 possessions. Western Michigan played at 68.7 possessions and scored 106.9 per 100. None of those games came this season.
Our stored data does not tag these players to a team, so we will not guess. Jayden Brewer averaged 17.8 points and 10.2 rebounds over his last 5 stored games (14.8 and 7.1 over 10) in 32.8 minutes a night. Justice Williams scored 13.4 per game over his last 5 (13.1 over 10). EJ Ryans scored 9.6 per game over his last 5 (7.4 over 10). Trey Lewis scored 8 per game over his last 5 (8.9 over 10). Michael Sulaka averaged 2.6 points over his last 5, and Junior Sileu averaged 0.4 over his last 5, both in smaller roles.
Start with the moneyline, a bet on who wins and nothing else. Western Michigan is +100 at Hard Rock Bet, so $100 risked profits $100. Old Dominion is +110 at Fanatics, so $100 risked profits $110. The point spread is a handicap on the margin. Western Michigan -1.5 (-102 at FanDuel) needs a win by 2 or more, and a 1-point win loses.
Old Dominion +1.5 (-110 at Caesars) wins if Old Dominion wins outright or loses by 1. The half point means no push (a tie that refunds your stake). That total has not moved since it opened. These are the best prices across the books we track. Line shopping, meaning checking several books for the same bet, is the simplest edge a bettor has.
Break-even is the win rate a price needs to stop losing money over time. Old Dominion at +110 needs 47.6%, the lowest break-even on this board. The market's no-vig read gives Old Dominion 49.2%. Everything else on the board runs negative. Old Dominion +1.5 is minus $2.33, because it needs 52.4% against a 51.2% cover read. The Over is minus $0.05 and the Under is minus $2.71. Remember that $3.41 is an average, not what you collect when the ticket cashes.
Old Dominion moneyline at +110 at Fanatics. The edge is thin. The +1.5 spread is a separate bet that wins or loses on the margin, and it prices negative here, so we skip it.
Old Dominion has the home floor and the better scoring rate in stored games, and the price pays more than the market's own read. Our Old Dominion vs Western Michigan prediction is Old Dominion 79, Western Michigan 76. That adds up to 155 points, under the 157.5 total, but both sides of the total price negative and we are not betting it. This is close to a coin flip, so size it like one. That is our read on this number. The Desk posts a documented free play on days like this, and it sits right below.
