Frequently Asked Questions

Does BetUS beat the other book in every sport?
Yes — BetUS has lower vig across all 32 sports we track. While it wins overall, the margin varies by sport, so it's worth checking specific sports for the full picture.
How does BetRivers vig compare to other regulated books?
BetRivers typically offers competitive vig among regulated US sportsbooks, often on par with or slightly better than DraftKings and FanDuel on select markets. They are operated by Rush Street Interactive, which also runs PlaySugarHouse and BetRivers in multiple states.
In which states is BetRivers available?
BetRivers operates in multiple US states including Illinois, Indiana, Colorado, Virginia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Maryland, Louisiana, and others. Availability continues to expand as more states legalize sports betting.
Does BetRivers limit winning bettors?
BetRivers may limit or restrict consistently profitable accounts, which is standard practice among regulated US sportsbooks. However, some bettors report that BetRivers is somewhat more tolerant than DraftKings and FanDuel when it comes to bet limits.
How does BetUS vig compare to other offshore books?
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.
What are BetUS bonus terms like?
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.
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 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.
