. 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.

Beau Pribula (UVA)139/212, 1,581 YDS, 14 TD, 3 INT (9 GP)
Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele (CAL)178/264, 1,751 YDS, 11 TD, 6 INT (8 GP)This number has already moved. California was getting 12 points at three books, and within five minutes it was 11. The best we track now is +10.5. The California Golden Bears visit the Virginia Cavaliers at Scott Stadium on Saturday, November 14 at 3:30 PM ET on ACC Network. For California vs Virginia, the betting question is simple: is the gap priced right? Both teams come off a bye with 13 days of rest, so nobody gets a fatigue excuse.
As of November 11, California is 3-6 and Virginia is 4-5. Virginia sits 12th of 17 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Virginia won the last meeting, 378 days ago. California is on game three of a road trip and traveled 156 miles from Raleigh, with no time-zone change. The per-game averages over nine games show the matchup. Virginia runs for 145.44 yards a game. California allows 183.33 rushing yards a game.
PPA (points added per play, how much each snap helps your scoring odds) has Virginia's offense at 0.12 and California's at -0.04 over nine games. For defenses, lower is better: Virginia allows 0.06, California 0.18. Against the spread (ATS, meaning whether a team beat the betting margin), California is 2-7 in nine graded games and 2-6 as an underdog. Virginia is 3-5-1 ATS in nine graded games. Our rating, an Elo model, gives Virginia 72% to win. That is context only, and less bullish than the market.
Virginia quarterback Beau Pribula has played all nine games, averaging 175.7 passing yards, 1.6 touchdowns and 0.3 interceptions per game. Over his last five, that dips to 157.6 passing yards per game, plus 14 rushing yards per game. California's Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele has played eight of nine games, averaging 218.9 passing yards, 1.4 touchdowns and 0.8 interceptions per game. His last five sit at 177 passing yards per game, down from 241.8 over his last ten. A forecast of 52 degrees with 16 mph wind from the northwest can make deep throws harder for both.
The moneyline is a straight bet on who wins. Virginia is the favorite at -370 (best at Circa): you risk $100 to profit $27.03. Books build in a fee called the vig. Strip it out and the market reads Virginia 79.5%, California 20.5%. The California vs Virginia spread asks about the margin. California +10.5 at -105 (Hard Rock Bet) wins if the Bears win or lose by 10 or fewer.
It needs 51.2% to break even, and the market's no-vig cover read is also 51.2%. The total is 46.5 combined points, down from 47.5 at four books. Over -108 needs 51.9% against a market 51.1%. Under +102 needs 49.5% against 48.9%. The public split shows 70% of BetMGM spread tickets on Virginia. On ProphetX, 53% of the money traded on the spread is on California, from just 11 trades and $603, so that can swing.
Expected value means your average result per bet if you placed it many times. Five of six prices here show negative expectation. One does not. The edge is thin, and it only exists at the best number. A worse price elsewhere can erase it.
