Premier Lacrosse League betting occupies a fascinating niche in the sports wagering landscape. The PLL's touring model — where all eight teams travel to different cities each weekend rather than playing in home venues — eliminates traditional home/away splits entirely, which strips away one of the most common edges bettors rely on in other sports. Games are high-scoring affairs, typically landing in the 12-18 goal range, with possessions moving quickly and momentum swinging sharply. This creates volatility that makes moneylines less predictable and totals particularly interesting. Market depth remains limited compared to major leagues: most books offer moneylines, spreads, and game totals, but prop markets and live betting options are sparse, and not every sportsbook carries PLL lines at all.
Vig on PLL markets tends to run wider than what bettors encounter in the NFL or NBA, often sitting in the 6-8% range on sides and totals. The reason is straightforward: lower betting volume means sportsbooks face more liability risk per wager and have less market feedback to sharpen their numbers. With fewer sharp bettors hammering PLL lines, books have less incentive to tighten margins. This makes comparing odds across multiple sportsbooks especially valuable — the spread between the best and worst available price on a given PLL game can be meaningfully larger than in higher-profile sports.
The PLL season runs from June through September, with the championship in late September. Early-season lines tend to be the softest, as books are still calibrating rosters after offseason trades and the college draft. Midseason weekends — particularly during July and August when the league hits its stride — generally produce the tightest markets as oddsmakers accumulate performance data. Key factors driving line movement include injuries to star attackmen or faceoff specialists (a dominant FOGO can control possession and dramatically shift game flow), weather conditions at outdoor venues, and rest advantages when teams play back-to-back days during tournament-style weekends.

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.
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, BetAnything). 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 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.
