↑ 7-day trend: Average vig has worsened by 0.18 percentage points over the past week (from 7.56% to 7.74%). Odds margins are widening, meaning bettors are getting less value per wager.
Pinnacle dominates Austrian Football Bundesliga with 2.67% less vig than the runner-up DraftKings. The spread between #1 and #11 is 6.05% — book choice matters significantly for Austrian Football Bundesliga. Vig is trending down 0.09% since yesterday.
The Austrian Football Bundesliga offers a distinctive betting landscape shaped by its competitive structure and scoring tendencies. The league features 12 teams playing a split-season format: a regular season of 22 rounds followed by a championship and relegation group phase, where points are halved before the final 10 rounds. This structure creates unusual value opportunities, particularly during the split phase when recalculated points compress the standings and shift odds dramatically. Scoring tends to run slightly higher than Europe's top five leagues, with matches averaging around 2.8 to 3.1 goals per game, making over/under markets particularly appealing. However, market depth is noticeably thinner than in the Bundesliga or Premier League — prop markets and player-level lines are limited, and liquidity is lower, which directly impacts pricing efficiency.
Vig on Austrian Bundesliga matches tends to run wider than on major European leagues, typically in the 5-7% range on match result markets compared to 2-4% for Premier League fixtures. This is a direct consequence of lower betting volume; sportsbooks compensate for reduced liquidity and less sophisticated modeling by building in larger margins. Books that specialize in European football or have dedicated traders for smaller leagues often post tighter lines, making vig comparison especially valuable in this market. Asian handicap and totals lines, when available, generally carry slightly better margins than three-way moneylines.
The season runs from late July through May, with a winter break from mid-December to early February. Odds tend to be most competitive during the opening weeks when bookmaker attention is fresh and during the championship round when stakes — and betting interest — peak. Weather is a genuine factor: early spring matches in cities like Innsbruck or Wolfsberg can be played in near-freezing conditions on deteriorating pitches, favoring physical teams over technical sides. Home advantage is pronounced, particularly for clubs with smaller, atmospheric grounds like those of LASK or Sturm Graz, and bettors should closely track squad rotation, as several Austrian clubs juggle European competition commitments that noticeably dilute domestic lineups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Austrian Football Bundesliga vig getting better or worse?
Austrian Football Bundesliga vig is currently improving (decreasing). Average vig has shifted by 0.09 percentage points since yesterday. We track these changes daily to help bettors identify the best windows for placing wagers.
What is vig (vigorish) in sports betting?
Vig — short for vigorish, also called juice or overround — is the margin a sportsbook builds into its odds. It's the difference between the true probability of an outcome and what the odds imply. Lower vig means you keep more of your winnings on every bet. For example, a standard -110/-110 line has about 4.76% vig.
How often is this data updated?
We pull fresh odds from The Odds API every hour, on the hour (UTC). Each snapshot captures the latest lines from every sportsbook that has posted odds. The timestamp at the top of the page shows the most recent refresh.
How is the vig grade calculated?
Each sportsbook is graded on average vig: A+ (under 2%) is exchange-level pricing, A (2–3%) very competitive, B+ (3–4%) above average, B (4–5%) the industry standard, C+ (5–6%) slightly below average, C (6–7%) below average, D (7–8%) high vig, D− (8–10%) very high, F (10%+) predatory.
Why does lower vig matter for bettors?
Lower vig directly impacts your long-term returns. A bettor placing $1,000 per week at a book with 4% vig loses roughly $40/week to the house edge. At 2% vig, that drops to $20/week — a $1,040 difference over a year. For serious bettors, shopping for lower vig is one of the most reliable ways to improve profitability.
What sportsbooks do you track?
We track both regulated US sportsbooks (DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars) and offshore books (Bovada, BetOnline, MyBookie, BetUS, LowVig.ag, BetAnything). Data comes from The Odds API, which aggregates real-time lines from licensed sources.
How We Calculate These Numbers
- Data Source
- All odds on this page come from The Odds API, which aggregates real-time lines from licensed US and offshore sportsbooks. We track moneyline, spread, and totals markets across every sport with active betting lines.
- Update Frequency
- We pull a fresh snapshot of every tracked market every hour, on the hour (UTC). Each snapshot captures the latest lines from every sportsbook that has posted odds for a given event. The timestamp at the top of each page tells you exactly when the data was last refreshed.
- Vig Calculation
- Vig (short for vigorish, also called juice or overround) measures the margin a sportsbook builds into its odds. We calculate it by converting the odds on each side of a market to implied probabilities, summing those probabilities, and subtracting 100%. For example, a market priced at -110/-110 implies 52.38% on each side — a total of 104.76%, meaning a vig of 4.76%. Lower vig means better value for bettors because you keep more of your winnings.
- Per-Market Breakdown
- We compute vig separately for each market type: moneyline (h2h), point spreads, and totals (over/under). The "average vig" shown for each sportsbook is the mean across all market types weighted by the number of events sampled in each market.
- Grading Scale
- Every sportsbook receives a letter grade based on its average vig: A+ (under 2%) is exchange-level pricing. A (2–3%) is very competitive. B+ (3–4%) is above average. B (4–5%) is the industry standard — a -110/-110 line is 4.76%. C+ (5–6%) is slightly below average. C (6–7%) is below average. D (7–8%) is high vig. D− (8–10%) is very high vig. F (10%+) is predatory pricing. See the full Vig Index Methodology for formulas, worked examples, and known limitations.
- Trend Tracking
- We store daily snapshots for 30 days, allowing us to show 24-hour and 7-day vig trends. A downward trend (improving) means sportsbooks are tightening their lines — often in response to increased competition or higher betting volume as a season heats up.
