Why is LowVig.ag named that way?
LowVig.ag is named for its core value proposition: low vigorish. They operate on a reduced-juice model, frequently offering -105 lines instead of the standard -110. This translates to roughly 2–3% less vig on every bet, which adds up significantly for active bettors.
Is LowVig.ag good for serious bettors?
Yes — LowVig.ag is one of the most value-focused offshore books. Their reduced-juice model means consistently lower vig across all sports. They don't offer flashy promotions but make up for it with genuinely better odds on every bet.
What other reduced-juice books compare to LowVig.ag?
BetAnySports runs a similar -105 model, and Bet105 prices -105 across all sports — dropping to -101/-101 on Thursday NFL games — for a market hold of roughly 2.4%. Bet105's advertised book-wide pricing would place it in the most-efficient tier, though it is not yet part of our measured feed.
Is Caesars Sportsbook the same as William Hill?
Yes — Caesars Entertainment acquired William Hill in 2021 and rebranded US operations as Caesars Sportsbook. Our data may show "Caesars" or "William Hill" depending on how the API reports the book. The odds and vig are the same entity.
How does Caesars vig compare to other regulated books?
Caesars typically has similar vig to DraftKings, FanDuel, and BetMGM. They compete more on loyalty rewards (Caesars Rewards program) and retail sportsbook access than on odds quality. Sharp bettors will find better pricing at offshore books.
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 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.
