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 ICC Champions Trophy operates on an irregular cycle, typically held every four years during May and June in the host nation. Unlike annual tournaments, this creates extended betting windows where futures markets open as early as 18 months before the tournament begins. The 2025 edition in Pakistan will likely see initial outright winner odds appear in late 2024, with major line movements occurring after bilateral series results throughout 2024-25. The concentrated three-week tournament format means no traditional season exists—instead, bettors must evaluate teams based on recent ODI form, conditions in the host country, and squad announcements that typically come 6-8 weeks before the tournament starts.

Off-season Champions Trophy betting centers heavily on outright winner markets, with India, England, and Australia typically favored regardless of host conditions. Golden Bat and Golden Ball futures become available once squads are announced, while group winner markets offer value for teams like Pakistan or South Africa who often underperform their talent level. Weather-dependent props gain importance during the tournament window, as English conditions historically favor seam bowlers while subcontinent venues benefit spin-heavy attacks. Tournament top scorer and leading wicket-taker markets fluctuate significantly based on playing XI announcements, making squad depth analysis crucial for futures positioning.

Vig patterns in Champions Trophy markets typically start loose during the initial futures phase, with books often posting 115-120% overrounds on outright markets. These tighten to 105-108% as the tournament approaches and volume increases. The biggest off-season odds movements historically stem from bilateral series results in similar conditions to the host venue, key player injuries during the IPL window, and captaincy changes that signal tactical shifts. Pitch reports released weeks before the tournament can dramatically shift bowling attack futures, while monsoon forecasts in subcontinent editions create volatility in match total markets that savvy bettors can exploit.

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.
