The top 2 books are tightly clustered — only 0.00% separates them. The spread between #1 and #11 is 7.21% — book choice matters significantly for KBO. Vig is trending up 0.24% since yesterday.
The Korean Baseball Organization offers a distinctive betting market that appeals to sharp bettors for several reasons. The league's ten teams play a 144-game regular season running from late March through October, with postseason play extending into November. KBO games tend to feature higher scoring than their MLB counterparts — partly due to a livelier ball, smaller ballparks, and a designated hitter rule used across the league — which creates frequent movement on totals and run lines. The pace of play is brisk, and the condensed schedule means teams face each other repeatedly, producing exploitable trends for bettors who track matchup data closely.
Vig on KBO markets tends to run wider than what bettors encounter on major North American sports. Because KBO draws a smaller betting handle outside of South Korea, sportsbooks build in more margin to protect against liability from sharper action. Moneyline juice of 5–7% is common, and it can climb higher on less popular matchups or at books that treat KBO as a secondary offering. This makes line shopping especially critical — the spread between the best and worst available price on the same KBO game can be significant, and shaving even a few cents off the vig compounds meaningfully over a full season of wagers.
Several factors drive KBO odds beyond basic team quality. Starting pitching is the single most influential variable, but bullpen depth matters enormously given how frequently KBO managers go to their relievers. Weather plays a pronounced role: South Korea's humid summers affect ball flight, and the monsoon season in July and August can lead to postponements and schedule congestion that taxes rosters. Home-field advantage is meaningful in KBO, with certain parks like Sajik Stadium in Busan producing consistently inflated run environments. Early in the season and during the postseason, oddsmakers tend to sharpen their lines as public interest — and handle — increases, so bettors hunting for softer numbers often find the best value during midweek games in the summer months when attention is lowest.

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.
