↓ 7-day trend: Average vig has improved by 0.52 percentage points over the past week (from 5.88% to 5.35%). Sportsbooks are tightening their lines — a good sign for bettors.
Pinnacle leads with 3.85% vig (B+), followed by LowVig.ag at 4.41%. The spread between #1 and #14 is 4.21% — book choice matters significantly for Basketball Euroleague. Vig is trending down 0.17% since yesterday.
Basketball Euroleague offers a distinctive betting market compared to the NBA, shaped by shorter 40-minute games, generally lower scoring totals (typically in the 140-165 combined range), and more pronounced home-court advantages. The competition features 18 clubs from across Europe playing a 34-game regular season from October through April, followed by playoffs and a Final Four in May. Market depth is narrower than the NBA — while spreads, totals, and moneylines are widely available, prop markets and alternative lines are more limited, particularly for mid-table matchups. This creates both challenges and opportunities: less public money flows into Euroleague, meaning lines can sometimes be slower to adjust to key information.
Vig on Euroleague markets tends to run wider than on NBA games, reflecting the lower betting volume and reduced competition among bookmakers for these lines. On a typical regular-season Euroleague spread, bettors might encounter margins in the 5-7% range at less competitive books, compared to the 4-5% standard on NBA sides. However, vig compresses meaningfully during the playoffs and Final Four, when public interest spikes and sportsbooks compete more aggressively for handle. The early rounds of the regular season, particularly October and November games involving less prominent clubs, tend to carry the widest margins.
Several factors move Euroleague lines in ways that differ from American basketball. Home-court advantage is significantly more impactful — teams like Anadolu Efes in Istanbul, Olympiacos in Piraeus, and Maccabi in Tel Aviv enjoy hostile environments that consistently skew results. Travel fatigue is a genuine factor, as teams may cross multiple time zones for midweek games before returning for domestic league play on the weekend. Roster turnover during the January transfer window can reshape team dynamics overnight, and dual-competition fatigue — most Euroleague clubs also compete in demanding domestic leagues — creates scheduling spots where sharp bettors can find edges, particularly during congested fixture periods in February and March.

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.
