Live Best Books
Rank sportsbooks by how good their prices have actually been.
Over the look-back window we sample each book's price per game at 15-minute buckets. At every (game, side, bucket) the book(s) holding the best available American price are credited a win, and each book's price is scored against the field's median (consensus). The response is a leaderboard so a bettor can see, for this sport and window, which book to line-shop first.
v1 covers h2h (moneyline) from odds_snapshots, which carries ~24 books directly (DraftKings, FanDuel, Pinnacle, BetRivers, ...). Spreads, totals, props, and per-game / per-book-type slices are the next increments.
