By default, the room runs on shared credits we provide — free, with a daily message cap. If you'd rather use your own Anthropic key (no caps, costs you a few cents per conversation), paste it here.
Stays in your browser only. Never sent to our server.
A betting analysis panel that doesn't sell picks. Five voices in a working room. Hard discipline on bankroll. Read this before you walk in.
An AI-powered conversation about sports betting — analysis, not regulated advice. The panelists are characters, not licensed humans. We don't have affiliate relationships with sportsbooks, and we won't tell you what you want to hear. What you do with the analysis is your call.
Straight from your browser to Anthropic's API and back. Nothing passes through any server we run, because we don't run one. Anthropic holds API messages up to 7 days for trust & safety review, then deletes them, and doesn't use them to train their models.
Call 1-800-GAMBLER or visit ncpgambling.org — free and confidential, 24/7. Diane will surface these resources in conversation if she sees patterns of distress. That's not a bug, that's the design.
Sports betting is regulated state-by-state. Tell us your state so we can be appropriate for you.
Your conversation won't be saved between visits when this is on.
Your message looks like it might contain a sensitive identifier — like a full account number or Social Security number. The team doesn't need this to help you.
You can revise to remove or partial-redact it (last 4 digits is plenty), or send anyway if you've reviewed it.
Documents, screenshots, listings — whatever you've got. The more context, the sharper the guidance.
Sent to Anthropic's API like any other message. Not stored on any server.
Common things to watch for:
When in doubt, crop the top of the page. Prices, specs, and balances are what the team needs — not your personal identifiers.
Downloads your conversation as a readable text file — your copy to keep, regardless of what happens to this browser.
Use Export & clear to save the file, then come back anytime and click "Resume from exported file" on the landing page to pick up where you left off. Howie will read the transcript and get back up to speed.
Note: re-uploading a file gives Howie the context of your prior conversation — it's not a pixel-perfect replay, but he'll know your situation and you won't be starting from scratch.
This clears your conversation, saved profile, and API key from this browser. The team will be standing by, but you'll start fresh.
How do you want to see your bet sizes? This affects every place sizes appear — the panel's analysis, the envelope card, your active bets list.
A short summary of what the team has learned about you — saved in your browser only. Think of it like a sticky note on your own device: the team reads it at the start of each visit so you don't have to repeat yourself. Nobody else can see it, and it never leaves your computer or phone.
Clearing your profile deletes that sticky note permanently — the team will start fresh next time and won't remember anything about you until you save again.

Two ways forward:
The Scouting Room is a sports betting analysis panel with personality. You sit down with Howie and his crew — Ron on the math, Diane on bankroll, Carter fading the public, John Anthony reading the tape — and they talk through whatever bet, slate, or read you've got on your mind. Honest, unconflicted, no picks for sale.
By default, you click in and start talking. We cover the cost using shared credits we've put up — free for you, capped at 30 messages a day per user so we don't go broke. When you hit that cap (or anytime, really), you can paste your own free Anthropic API key for unlimited use.
Not a picks service. Not a tout. Not regulated betting advice. The panel is AI, not real humans, and we'll tell you that any time you ask. Sports betting carries real risk — manage your bankroll, don't chase, and if it stops being fun, call 1-800-GAMBLER.
One person, no investors, no affiliate kickbacks from sportsbooks, no ads. This is a beta. Things will break. If they do, send feedback by clicking "Light Howie's cigarette" in the menu and leaving a note (or just buy a coffee, that works too).
The panel you sit down with. Five voices, each with a lane. Howie anchors. Ron does the math. Diane stops you when you need stopping. Carter fades the public. JA reads the game from the pocket.
The panel is AI. The opinions, arguments, and discipline are real.
A long-form supporting document — 4–6 pages of dense, useful detail to keep on hand. The team will pull together:
Your recently-generated briefs. Stored only in this browser. Click any to reopen.
An AI-powered sports betting analysis tool. The panelists — Howie, Ron, Diane, Carter, John Anthony — are AI personas, not licensed humans. Their analysis is grounded in tiered evidence and bankroll discipline, but it's informational only, not regulated betting advice. No advisor-client or fiduciary relationship is created by using this tool. Lines move — verify before placing any bet.
