BetOnline.ag and MyBookie.ag are both offshore sportsbooks catering primarily to U.S. bettors, but they differ meaningfully in their approach. BetOnline has been operating since 2004 and has built a reputation as one of the more established offshore options, offering a broad product that spans sports, casino, poker, and even financial betting. MyBookie, launched in 2014, takes a more marketing-forward approach, aggressively targeting recreational bettors with frequent promotions and bonus offers. In terms of vig philosophy, BetOnline tends to offer slightly sharper lines across major markets — particularly on NFL sides and totals — while MyBookie's lines can skew wider, reflecting its orientation toward casual players who are less sensitive to juice.
A bettor who prioritizes line quality and market variety would generally lean toward BetOnline. Its prop offerings run deeper, its live betting interface is more responsive, and it consistently posts lines earlier than MyBookie on many sports. Conversely, MyBookie may appeal to bettors who value promotional value — its reload bonuses and enhanced parlays can add equity for those who understand the rollover requirements attached. Recreational bettors placing smaller wagers may find MyBookie's user experience cleaner and more straightforward to navigate, particularly on mobile.
Beyond the vig data shown on this page, bettors should weigh several practical factors. BetOnline generally processes cryptocurrency payouts faster and offers higher betting limits, making it more suitable for anyone wagering at moderate-to-serious volume. MyBookie has drawn more customer service complaints over the years, particularly around slow fiat withdrawals and bonus-related disputes. Both books operate without U.S. regulatory oversight, so reputation and payout reliability matter enormously — and on that front, BetOnline's longer track record provides a measurable edge in trust.

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 three times per day — at 6:00 AM, 2:00 PM, and 10:00 PM 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 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 three times per day — at 6:00 AM, 2:00 PM, and 10:00 PM 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 exceptional and rare — these are typically sharp-friendly books. A (2–3%) is excellent. B+ (3–4%) is above average. B (4–5%) is the industry standard for most recreational sportsbooks. C (5–6%) is below average. D (above 6%) indicates high-juice markets where bettors face a steep cost per wager.
- 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.
