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 UEFA Women's Champions League operates on a unique calendar that spans from July through June of the following year, with qualifying rounds beginning in August and the group stage launching in October. The knockout phase runs from February through May, culminating in the final typically held in late May or early June. Preseason championship odds emerge as early as June, shortly after the previous season concludes, with major sportsbooks releasing futures markets once the field of 16 is determined through qualifying. This extended timeline creates multiple betting windows, as domestic league performances from August through December heavily influence group stage odds adjustments.

Off-season futures markets center primarily on outright winner odds, with Barcelona, Lyon, and Chelsea traditionally commanding the shortest prices due to their squad depth and European pedigree. Top goalscorer markets gain traction once group stage draws are completed in August, as bettors can assess favorable matchups for prolific scorers like Alexia Putellas or Ada Hegerberg. Transfer window activity between May and August creates significant line movement, particularly when star players move between Champions League clubs. Unlike men's competitions, women's player transfers often involve smaller fees but can dramatically shift competitive balance, making summer transfer tracking essential for futures betting value.

Vig patterns in Women's Champions League betting show distinct seasonal variations, with sportsbooks offering their loosest margins during initial summer futures releases when public interest remains low. Lines tighten considerably once group stage draws occur in late August, as recreational betting volume increases with clearer matchup pictures. The knockout phase sees the tightest margins, particularly for semifinals and finals where betting handle peaks. Historical odds movements spike most dramatically following major domestic signings in July and August, Champions League qualifying results in August, and group stage draw announcements, when bracket positioning can shift championship odds by 200-300 basis points overnight for top contenders.

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.
