Who does the bookie need?
Puck line signals are aligned: Vegas needs Penguins; US needs Penguins. Total signals are aligned: Vegas needs Under; US needs Under. Moneyline signals are aligned: Vegas needs Penguins; US needs Penguins.
Book need identifies sportsbook liability. It is not a stand-alone wager, and undeveloped split markets are left unclassified rather than forced into a conclusion.
Price discipline
BettorCenter treats the current number as the decision point. A useful split signal can lose its betting value after the market moves, and a price move does not become a second independent signal merely because it followed the same money.
