The top 2 books are tightly clustered — only 0.00% separates them. The spread between #1 and #15 is 5.67% — book choice matters significantly for Serie A - Italy. Vig is trending up 0.22% since yesterday.
Serie A offers a distinctive betting landscape shaped by its tactical DNA. Italian football has historically been defined by defensive organization and lower-scoring matches compared to the Premier League or Bundesliga, though the league has trended toward more open play in recent seasons. Match totals frequently hover around the 2.5-goal line, creating sharp markets where bettors who understand team-specific tendencies—such as whether a side plays conservatively away from home or presses high at the San Siro—can find genuine edges. The league's depth of competitive teams beyond the traditional "Big Three" of Juventus, Inter, and Milan means midtable clashes often produce less efficiently priced lines, particularly in three-way moneyline and Asian handicap markets.
Vig on Serie A markets tends to sit in a moderate range, tighter than most secondary European leagues but slightly wider than what bettors find on Premier League fixtures, which attract the highest global handle. Top-tier matchups—derby della Madonnina, Juventus-Napoli—draw enough sharp and recreational money to compress margins across books, while midweek fixtures and lower-profile matches often carry noticeably wider margins. Bettors comparing across sportsbooks can frequently shave one to three percentage points off the vig on these less liquid games, which compounds meaningfully over a full season of wagering.
The Serie A season runs from mid-August through late May, with a brief winter break typically in early January. Odds tend to be most competitive during the opening weeks, when bookmakers are still calibrating to squad changes and new signings, and again in the final stretch when relegation and European qualification battles sharpen market attention. Key factors that move Serie A lines include squad rotation during congested Champions League and Europa League weeks, the outsized home-field advantage at intimidating venues like Napoli's Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, and Italy's north-south climate divide—cold, foggy conditions in Turin and Milan versus milder southern weather can influence totals and pace of play more than casual bettors realize.

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 exceptional and rare — these are typically sharp-friendly books. A (2–3%) is excellent. B+ (3–4%) is above average. B (4–5%) is the industry standard for most recreational sportsbooks. C (5–6%) is below average. D (above 6%) indicates high-juice markets where bettors face a steep cost per wager.
- 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.
