Exchange buyers before kickoff: which side buyers took (Kalshi, Polymarket, 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 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.

How to read this: the result probabilities come from the actual betting odds with the sportsbook's built-in fee (the vig) stripped out. Soccer has THREE outcomes, and the draw is priced like a real contender, not an afterthought.

📘 New to soccer betting? The one rule that surprises everyone. Soccer uses a three-way moneyline: you bet Monterrey win, Tijuana win, or the draw, settled after 90 minutes plus stoppage. Unlike American sports, a tie does NOT refund your bet, a draw beats BOTH win bets. In this match, Monterrey at -163 means you risk $163 to profit $100. The total is combined goals by both teams, usually set at 2.5. +EV means the price pays better than the market-implied fair odds (vig removed).

Monterrey vs Tijuana Prediction: The Price Gap Tells the Story
The market makes Monterrey a -163 home favorite. Our own rating gives them just 56%. That gap is why this game is worth your time. Add a road side that has drawn four of its last five, and the third outcome matters as much as either winner.
The Matchup: A Point Apart in the Liga MX Table
Club Tijuana sits 7th of 18 with 21 points from 14 matches and a +4 goal difference. CF Monterrey is 9th with 20 points from 13 matches and a +5 goal difference, so the hosts hold a game in hand. Tijuana's last five went draw, win, draw, draw, draw. Monterrey has two wins in its last five. Over the last 10, Tijuana scores 1.6 and concedes 1.6 per match. Monterrey scores 1.7 and concedes 1.4.
The deeper numbers tilt hard toward Monterrey. Per game this season, Monterrey takes 15.85 shots (5.85 on target) with 55.98% of the ball and allows just 8.33 shots (2.67 on target). Tijuana averages 12.93 shots (4.14 on target) with 42.29% possession and allows 13.25 shots (5 on target). Both clubs had a player sent off last match: Jesús Gómez for Tijuana, Orbelín Pineda for Monterrey. The last meeting, 273 days ago, ended level.
How Soccer Betting Works
A moneyline is a straight bet on the result. A minus number shows what you risk to win $100. A plus number shows what $100 wins. Soccer uses a three-way moneyline: Monterrey to win (-163), Tijuana to win (+475), or a draw (+350). Bets are settled on 90 minutes plus stoppage time. No extra time, no penalties. Here is the key: a draw is its own outcome, so it beats both win bets. Risk $163 on Monterrey and a 1-1 finish loses you that money, the same as a Tijuana win would. A $100 draw ticket at +350 profits $350.
Who Is Favored to Win Monterrey vs Tijuana?
Monterrey is favored. The best price is -163 at Kalshi. The draw is +350 at BetRivers. Tijuana is +475 at BetRivers. Line shopping means checking every book for the best payout, and on a heavy favorite those small differences add up over a season. Strip out the vig (the book's built-in fee) and the market reads Monterrey 64%, draw 20%, Tijuana 16%. Our rating, an Elo model built on stored results, says Monterrey 56%, Tijuana 44%.
It ignores the draw, so treat it as context only. The total (a bet on combined goals) sits at 3.5: Over +138 at Kalshi, Under -157 at BetRivers. Against the spread (a handicap bet that adjusts for the favorite), Tijuana is 9-5 across 14 graded games and 6-1 as an underdog (7 games). Monterrey is 4-7 ATS as a favorite (11 games). Over-under records: Tijuana 7-7 (14 games), Monterrey 6-7 (13 games).
Where the Value Is
