Overall Vig
B · Rank #2 of 20
↓ 7-day trend: LowVig.ag's average vig has improved by 0.27 percentage points over the past week (from 4.86% to 4.59%).
LowVig.ag is an offshore sportsbook that has carved out a distinct niche by doing exactly what its name promises: offering reduced juice lines. While most traditional books charge the standard -110 on both sides of a spread or total, LowVig consistently posts lines at -105 or even -104, cutting the built-in house edge roughly in half. This model positions the book squarely in the sharp and high-volume bettor space, where even marginal improvements in pricing compound significantly over hundreds or thousands of wagers throughout a season.
The book's primary strength is straightforward — pricing. For bettors who understand the long-term mathematical impact of reduced vig, the savings are substantial and real. A bettor placing 1,000 wagers a year at -105 instead of -110 retains meaningfully more bankroll over time. LowVig also tends to offer competitive lines across major North American sports, making it a reliable option for side-by-side odds comparison. Where it falls short relative to larger offshore competitors is in the breadth of its offering. Prop markets, live betting options, and international sport coverage tend to be thinner than what books like Pinnacle or BetOnline provide. The interface and overall user experience are functional but lack the polish of more heavily funded platforms, and promotional incentives are minimal — the reduced juice itself is effectively the ongoing promotion.
LowVig.ag is best suited for serious, disciplined bettors who prioritize line value over flashy bonuses and extensive exotic markets. Recreational bettors looking for parlays, same-game props, or casino-style entertainment will likely find the experience sparse. Its reputation within the betting community is generally positive among those who understand its purpose, though as with any offshore operator, bettors should approach with appropriate awareness regarding regulatory protections and withdrawal processes compared to licensed, state-regulated alternatives.

LowVig.ag Odds by Sport
Frequently Asked Questions
How good are LowVig.ag odds?
LowVig.ag has an average vig of 4.59%, earning a grade of B. They rank #2 out of 20 tracked sportsbooks.
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 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.
