↑ 7-day trend: Average vig has worsened by 0.30 percentage points over the past week (from 6.03% to 6.33%). Odds margins are widening, meaning bettors are getting less value per wager.
Pinnacle leads with 3.79% vig (B+), followed by LowVig.ag at 4.28%. The spread between #1 and #17 is 6.24% — book choice matters significantly for Serie A - Italy.
Serie A offers a distinctive betting landscape shaped by its historically tactical, defense-oriented style of play. While the league has opened up in recent years, matches still tend to produce fewer goals on average than the Premier League or Bundesliga, with the under 2.5 goals market hitting at a notably higher rate. This lower-scoring tendency creates value opportunities in totals markets, but it also means moneyline upsets are more common — a 1-0 smash-and-grab by a mid-table side against a top-four club is a regular occurrence. Market depth is strong for Serie A, with most major sportsbooks offering extensive prop, corner, card, and player-level markets, though liquidity and line sharpness can lag behind what bettors find for the English Premier League.
Vig on Serie A markets tends to sit in a moderate range — tighter than most secondary European leagues but slightly wider than the Premier League, where massive betting volume compresses margins. Three-way moneyline markets typically carry margins between 4% and 7% at mainstream books, though sharp-focused sportsbooks and exchanges frequently push that below 3%. The draw is a critical factor: Serie A produces draws at a relatively high rate, and books price the three-way market knowing that recreational bettors disproportionately back home or away sides, which can inflate vig on the less popular draw outcome.
The Serie A season runs from mid-August through late May, with a brief winter break in early January. Vig tends to be most competitive during high-profile matchdays — derbies, top-six clashes, and European qualification battles — when betting volume spikes and books compete more aggressively for action. Bettors should pay close attention to squad rotation, particularly when clubs are juggling Champions League or Europa League commitments midweek. Home-away splits remain significant in Serie A; the atmosphere at venues like the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona or San Siro measurably impacts performance. Pitch conditions, particularly at smaller southern clubs in winter, and the physical toll of a congested fixture schedule in March and April are underappreciated factors that regularly move lines.

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.
