Frequently Asked Questions
How does LowVig.ag rank for NCAAF?
LowVig.ag has 3.50% average vig for NCAAF, earning a grade of B+. They rank #1 of 18 sportsbooks we track for this sport.
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.
Why is college football vig higher than NFL?
NCAAF has far more games per week but significantly less betting volume per game. With less liquidity and harder-to-price matchups (FBS vs FCS, etc.), sportsbooks widen their margins. Expect NCAAF vig to be 1–3% higher than NFL on average.
When is college football season?
The NCAAF season runs from late August through early January, with bowl games and the College Football Playoff. Regular season games are concentrated on Saturdays. Off-season is January through August.
Which sportsbooks have the best NCAAF odds?
Sharp-friendly offshore books like Pinnacle and BetOnline tend to offer the lowest NCAAF vig because they price more efficiently. Recreational books like BetUS and MyBookie often have wider margins on college football. Check our rankings above for current data.
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 every hour, on the hour (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 average vig: A+ (under 2%) is exchange-level pricing, A (2–3%) very competitive, B+ (3–4%) above average, B (4–5%) the industry standard, C+ (5–6%) slightly below average, C (6–7%) below average, D (7–8%) high vig, D− (8–10%) very high, F (10%+) predatory.
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 every hour, on the hour (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.
