Exchange buyers: which side buyers took (Kalshi, Polymarket (international), Novig, ProphetX)

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.

How to read these numbers

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.

📘 New to betting? Two-minute translation. A moneyline bet is picking who wins, nothing else. In this game, +145 means a $100 bet profits $145 if it wins. The spread is a head start: -7.5 must win by 8+, while +7.5 cashes by losing by 7 or fewer (or winning). The total is combined points by both teams, over or under the books' number. +EV means the price pays better than the market-implied fair odds (vig removed); consistently taking better prices raises your expected return over time.

The Matchup

Records are as of publication on November 13: Texas Tech 8-1, Oklahoma State 6-3. Oklahoma State sits 7th of 16 in the Big 12. This conference game kicks off Saturday, November 14 at 9:30 PM ET on ESPN at Boone Pickens Stadium. The last meeting was 385 days ago, and Oklahoma State lost it. Both teams have 6 days of rest and no time-zone change. Texas Tech traveled 324 miles, and Oklahoma State is 214 miles from its last game in Manhattan.

"Against the spread" (ATS) means beating the margin the books set, not just winning. Texas Tech is 4-5 ATS over 9, and 1-2 on the road. Both teams have gone over the posted total in 7 of 9 games. Per game, Oklahoma State gains 533.56 yards and allows 384. Texas Tech gains 449.33 and allows 402.33.

What Is the Texas Tech vs Oklahoma State Spread?

Here are the Texas Tech vs Oklahoma State odds, best price at each book. The moneyline is a bet on who wins. Books bake in a cut called the vig. Strip it out and the market reads about 60.4% Oklahoma State, 39.6% Texas Tech. A 3-point win loses. The Texas Tech spread moved from 3.5 to 3 at three books within five minutes, and the total moved between 74.5 and 73.5 in both directions at four books. That is why you shop. The public split shows 57% of DraftKings spread tickets and 92% of the DraftKings money on Oklahoma State.

Where the Value Is

Break-even is how often a bet must win to stop losing money. Expected value is the average result per $100 risked over many bets. Texas Tech +3.5 needs 51.9% versus 51.2%: minus $1.47. We side with the spread on its own numbers.

The Pick

It needs a win by 4 or more and a 48.5% hit rate. Oklahoma State's 4-0 ATS record at home (4 games) and the passing matchup back the read as context.
