Toronto -120
Consensus prices Toronto at 52% to win. I count the votes; the votes say Toronto.
Chicago +1.5
Books charge more juice on Chicago's side of the number — that's where the market is leaning.
Over 7.5
The over is the expensive side at 7.5 — juice tells you which way the room is betting.

Chicago +104
Best board has Chicago +104 vs a +100 consensus — 4 cents of free value. I take the mispricing.
Toronto -1.5 (+140)
No number-shopping edge here, so I take the cheaper juice — Toronto at +140 is the better-priced side of the same line.
Under 7.5 (-105)
Same number everywhere, so I take the cheaper side of it — the under at -105 costs less to be right.

Toronto -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: Toronto.
Under 7.5
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.
