Pinnacle leads with 3.80% vig (B+), followed by BetOnline.ag at 4.41%. The spread between #1 and #14 is 4.69% — book choice matters significantly for Basketball Euroleague.
Basketball Euroleague presents a distinct betting landscape compared to the NBA. The competition features 18 clubs from across Europe playing a 34-game regular season (October through April), followed by playoffs and a Final Four in May. Scoring tends to be lower than in the NBA — games regularly land in the 70–85 point range per team — and the 24-second shot clock, combined with more structured offensive systems, creates a slower, more deliberate pace of play. For bettors, this translates to tighter total ranges and greater sensitivity to defensive matchups. Market depth is moderate: moneylines, spreads, and totals are widely available, but player props and alternative lines are significantly thinner than what NBA bettors are accustomed to, and liquidity drops sharply for mid-table matchups.
Vig on Euroleague markets tends to run wider than on NBA lines. While top NBA games might carry margins of 3–5%, Euroleague spreads and totals frequently sit in the 5–7% range, and margins can push even higher for less prominent Round of 34 games between lower-profile clubs. This reflects the smaller betting volumes and the relative scarcity of sharp money flowing into European basketball compared to North American markets. Comparing vig across sportsbooks becomes especially valuable here because the spread between the sharpest and softest books on a given Euroleague game can be substantial — a difference that compounds over a long regular season.
Seasonal patterns matter. Oddsmakers are sharpest during the Final Four and playoff rounds, when public attention peaks and lines are heavily scrutinized. Conversely, the early regular-season rounds in October and November — and midweek games that draw less betting volume — often present the widest vig discrepancies and the most opportunity for line shoppers. Key factors driving Euroleague odds include home-court advantage, which is historically more pronounced than in the NBA due to travel fatigue and passionate arena atmospheres, roster availability (European clubs rotate players across domestic leagues and Euroleague, increasing injury and fatigue risk), and tactical coaching adjustments, which carry outsized weight in a league where system execution matters more than individual talent mismatches.

What is Basketball Euroleague?
The EuroLeague is the top professional basketball club competition in Europe, featuring teams from Turkey, Spain, Greece, Russia, and other countries. It runs from October through May. Vig is generally higher than NBA due to lower betting volume but competitive among European 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.
