Overall Vig
D · Rank #16 of 20
↓ 7-day trend: betPARX's average vig has improved by 0.24 percentage points over the past week (from 7.57% to 7.33%).
betPARX is a fully regulated U.S. sportsbook backed by Parx Casino, the largest casino in Pennsylvania by revenue. It operates legally in several states including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, and Maryland, leveraging the credibility and infrastructure of its established brick-and-mortar parent brand. Unlike offshore operators, betPARX offers the protections that come with state-level licensing — verified payouts, regulatory oversight, and legal recourse — making it a trustworthy option for bettors who prioritize legitimacy and security over the loosely regulated alternatives.
Where betPARX holds its own is in competitive odds pricing on major sports, particularly NFL and NBA lines, along with frequent promotions aimed at new and returning users. The platform also benefits from its casino integration, offering a combined sportsbook and iCasino experience in eligible states. However, it falls short of larger competitors like DraftKings and FanDuel in several key areas: market depth on niche sports, live betting fluidity, and the overall polish of its mobile app. The bet slip experience can feel clunky compared to the industry leaders, and player prop variety tends to lag behind what sharper or higher-volume bettors expect. Line availability on smaller college sports, international leagues, and alternative markets is notably thinner.
betPARX is best suited for recreational bettors, particularly those already familiar with the Parx Casino ecosystem in the mid-Atlantic region. Casual players who bet primarily on mainstream American sports will find a solid, no-frills experience with decent odds and reliable payouts. High-volume or sharp bettors, however, will likely find the platform limiting — both in terms of market selection and the tolerance for sustained winning action. It occupies a respectable but secondary tier in the regulated U.S. landscape, functioning as a reliable complement to a bettor's portfolio of sportsbook accounts rather than a primary destination.

betPARX Odds by Sport
Frequently Asked Questions
How good are betPARX odds?
betPARX has an average vig of 7.33%, earning a grade of D. They rank #16 out of 20 tracked sportsbooks.
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 is the vig grade calculated?
Each sportsbook is graded on a letter scale based on average vig: A+ (under 2%) is exceptional, A (2–3%) is excellent, B+ (3–4%) is above average, B (4–5%) is the industry standard, C (5–6%) is below average, and D (above 6%) indicates high-juice markets.
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, BetAnySports). 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 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 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.
