Vegas Golden KnightsatBuffalo Sabres
- The Golden Knights won (they closed at -116 on the moneyline).
- 5 total goals against a closing total of 6.5: the under hit.
Sharp signals point to the Golden Knights: Circa money, a steam move and the moneyline moving 4 points of win chance their way. BetRivers has the Golden Knights at -108, better than Pinnacle's fair -110.
The read before the start
- Pinnacle had the Golden Knights -101 (48.9% to win) on Sat, Nov 7. It's now -116 (52.4%), a move toward the Golden Knights.
- At DraftKings (mostly everyday bettors), 59% of moneyline bets and 18% of the money are on the Golden Knights.
- At Circa, where pros bet, only 72% of bets but 96% of the money is on the Golden Knights: fewer, bigger bets.
- The sharpest moment: around Sun, Nov 8, 2:31 PM ET, Pinnacle and 2 other books moved the moneyline the same way within an hour. That's a steam move, usually big money hitting at once.
- BetRivers has the Golden Knights -108. Pinnacle's fair price (its odds with the house cut removed) is -110, so your book is paying more than the sharp market thinks it should.
- On the exchanges (reference only, about $75K traded on Kalshi), the Sabres are -105 to +105 on the moneyline; Pinnacle has +105 and your best is +107.
- The total hasn't moved from 6.5.

How the line moved
Pinnacle is the sharp book: it takes the biggest bets and moves first. When your books trail it, that number is often worth grabbing.

Opened = the first price the app saved at that book (for games posted before Sep 17, the earliest it has). Best = the best value at your books. The % = how much better (+) or worse (−) each price is than Pinnacle's fair price. Green is +1% or more: worth betting. Most prices are a little negative: that's the book's cut. Tap any price at your books to log a bet.

Money vs tickets · Moneyline
Few bets but lots of money on one side means big bettors are there. If the line moves against the side most people bet, that's reverse line movement. Pinnacle doesn't publish its splits; Circa is the sharp-book view when it posts a game.
