BetUS offers League of Ireland markets, but its coverage tends to be thinner compared to European-focused sportsbooks. Lines for Premier Division matches are generally available for match result and popular totals, though prop markets, first-half lines, and lower-division (First Division) coverage are often limited or absent. The odds themselves typically carry wider margins than what bettors will find at sharper books or European operators that treat Irish football as a core product rather than a peripheral offering.
The primary disadvantage is vig — BetUS tends to price League of Ireland matches with higher built-in margins, reflecting lower volume and less competitive market-making in niche European leagues. Bettors who primarily wager on LOI as a casual complement to their main betting activity may find BetUS convenient enough, especially if they already hold a balance there. However, serious League of Ireland bettors who shop lines regularly will almost certainly find better value elsewhere, particularly at books with stronger European football coverage and tighter pricing on smaller leagues.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does BetUS rank for League of Ireland?
BetUS has 7.33% average vig for League of Ireland, earning a grade of D. They rank #5 of 10 sportsbooks we track for this sport.
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 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 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.
