The Caribbean Premier League (CPLT20) occupies a distinctive niche in the T20 franchise cricket landscape. Matches are played across smaller Caribbean venues where short boundaries and true pitches tend to produce high-scoring, volatile contests — conditions that create genuine uncertainty in match outcomes and make the format attractive for bettors who understand the dynamics. Market depth for the CPL is narrower than for the IPL or Big Bash, with most books offering match winner, top batsman, top bowler, and total runs lines, but exotic props and innings-specific markets can be harder to find or carry significantly wider margins. The relatively compact tournament — typically 34 matches across roughly five weeks — means each game carries weight, and form can shift quickly as squads rotate players and manage workloads.

Vig on CPLT20 markets tends to run wider than on marquee T20 leagues. Because the tournament draws less global betting volume and receives less granular media coverage, sportsbooks build in larger margins to protect against information asymmetry. Match winner lines commonly carry vig in the 5–8% range depending on the book, compared to 3–5% for an equivalent IPL fixture. This makes shopping across multiple books particularly valuable for CPL bettors, as the spread between the sharpest and softest lines on the same match can be meaningful. In-play markets often carry even steeper margins due to the fast-paced scoring environment and thinner liquidity.

The CPL typically runs from late August through early October, and odds tend to be most competitive during the knockout stages when sportsbook attention and handle increase. Early group-stage matches — especially those featuring the weaker franchises — often see the widest vig because books have less reliable data and lower volumes to work with. Key factors that move CPL lines include pitch conditions at specific venues (Providence Stadium in Guyana plays very differently from Warner Park in St. Kitts), the availability of international stars who may arrive late or depart early for national duties, and weather disruptions from the Caribbean hurricane season, which can produce rain-affected results governed by the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method. Home-ground familiarity matters more in the CPL than in most T20 leagues, as local players often have deep experience with venue-specific conditions that touring opponents lack.

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.
