BetMGM vs BetUS Odds Comparison

BetUS currently offers lower vig overall. BetMGM averages 7.00% vig (D) while BetUS averages 5.73% vig (C+).

We compare both books across 72 sports. The comparison covers vig percentages, grades, and which book offers better odds per sport.

BetMGM typically sits in the middle of the pack among regulated US sportsbooks. Their vig is comparable to DraftKings and FanDuel, though it varies by sport and market. They compete primarily on brand recognition and their MGM Rewards loyalty program.

BetMGM occasionally offers competitive pricing on NBA and NHL markets where they have strong trading desks. However, their overall vig profile is similar to other regulated books. Check our sport-by-sport breakdown above for current rankings.

BetUS generally has higher vig than sharp-focused offshore books like Pinnacle, BetOnline, or LowVig.ag. They invest heavily in marketing and promotional bonuses, which results in wider odds margins. They're better suited for casual bettors who value bonuses.

BetUS offers generous-sounding welcome bonuses (often 100%+ match) but with significant rollover requirements — typically 10x or more. This means you may need to bet through the bonus amount 10+ times before withdrawing. Read the terms carefully before opting in.

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.

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.

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.

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.
