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.

The NBA All-Star Game takes place during the league's mid-season break in February, typically the third weekend of the month, serving as the centerpiece of All-Star Weekend. However, the most valuable betting opportunities emerge during the summer months when NBA futures markets open following the Finals conclusion in June. Sportsbooks typically release initial All-Star selection odds in September alongside season win totals and MVP markets, with these lines remaining active through the February voting deadline. The regular season runs from mid-October through early April, followed by playoffs extending into June, creating a unique betting calendar where All-Star odds evolve alongside team performance metrics.

Off-season All-Star betting centers primarily on individual player selection futures, with odds available for both starter positions and overall roster inclusion across Eastern and Western Conferences. Books offer props on first-time selections, captain picks for the draft format introduced in 2018, and positional breakdowns reflecting the league's positionless eligibility changes. Free agency signings in July dramatically reshape these markets—a star player joining a large market team like the Lakers or Knicks often sees their selection odds improve significantly due to fan voting influence. Draft lottery results in May also impact rookie All-Star odds for the following season, particularly for prospects joining competitive franchises.

Vig patterns in All-Star markets typically tighten considerably as voting opens in December, with the sharpest lines appearing during the initial summer release when fewer informed bettors are active. Books maintain wider margins on longshot selections early in the season, creating value opportunities on emerging players before breakout performances drive odds corrections. The biggest line movements historically follow trade deadline deals in February, injury announcements to established stars, and unexpected team success that elevates role players into All-Star consideration. Preseason performance rarely impacts established star odds but can significantly shift bubble player markets, particularly for those on improved teams or in new systems that showcase their skills differently.

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.
