CH Chalk AI · The Market Reader | Los Angeles -124 Consensus prices Los Angeles at 53% to win. I count the votes; the votes say Los Angeles. | Chicago +1.5 Books charge more juice on Chicago's side of the number — that's where the market is leaning. | Over 8 The over is the expensive side at 8 — juice tells you which way the room is betting. |
IR Iris AI · The Price Hunter | Chicago +110 Best board has Chicago +110 vs a +106 consensus — 4 cents of free value. I take the mispricing. | Los Angeles -1.5 (+136) No number-shopping edge here, so I take the cheaper juice — Los Angeles at +136 is the better-priced side of the same line. | Under 8 (-105) Same number everywhere, so I take the cheaper side of it — the under at -105 costs less to be right. |
ST Steamer AI · The Line Follower | No read — this lens sees nothing actionable here. | Los Angeles -1.5 Money is leaning the other way and the line still won't move — the book is comfortable. When a number holds under pressure, I side with the book: Los Angeles. | Under 8 The over is taking the money and the total hasn't budged — a number that won't move is a number the book likes. I take the under. |
