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.

The Premier Lacrosse League operates on a condensed summer schedule, with the regular season typically running from late May through early August, followed by playoffs in mid-to-late August. Championship futures and season win totals usually surface in early April, giving bettors roughly six weeks to analyze roster movements and coaching changes before the season begins. This compressed timeline creates unique opportunities, as preseason odds often remain available well into May, allowing sharp bettors to capitalize on late-breaking information about player acquisitions and team chemistry.

PLL's off-season betting markets center heavily on championship futures, MVP odds, and team win totals, with the league's eight-team format creating more concentrated value than traditional sports. Draft-related props gain traction around the annual college draft in January, particularly focusing on which team selects the top Tewaaraton Award winner or where standout defensemen land. Free agency moves in February and March can dramatically shift championship odds, especially when elite face-off specialists or proven goalies switch teams, given lacrosse's emphasis on these specialized positions.

Sportsbooks typically offer their loosest margins on PLL futures during the initial April release, when limited public interest keeps vig relatively low compared to major sports. Lines tighten considerably once the season begins, as the sport's high-scoring nature and shorter shot clock create more volatile in-game betting patterns. The biggest off-season odds movements historically stem from goaltending changes and face-off specialist acquisitions, as these positions disproportionately impact possession and scoring opportunities. Schedule releases in March also trigger movement when travel-heavy stretches or favorable home stands become apparent, particularly for teams like Atlas LC or Chrome LC that rely on specific playing styles.

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.
