The Hundred, the ECB's 100-ball-per-innings format launched in 2021, presents a distinct betting environment shaped by its compressed match structure. With each bowler delivering either five or ten consecutive balls and innings capped at 100 deliveries, scoring patterns differ meaningfully from T20 cricket. The reduced innings length amplifies the impact of individual performances — a single explosive over from a top-order batter or a tight five-ball set from a death bowler can swing a match decisively. Market depth for The Hundred is narrower than established T20 leagues like the IPL or Big Bash, with most books offering match winner, top batter/bowler, and total runs lines, but fewer prop and derivative markets. This relative immaturity in market offerings can create value for bettors who understand the format's nuances.
Vig on The Hundred markets tends to run wider than on marquee cricket competitions, reflecting lower overall betting volume and the league's relatively short history. Bookmakers have less historical data to sharpen their models, which translates into larger built-in margins — particularly on secondary markets like player performance props and exact margin of victory. Match-winner lines are typically the tightest, especially for high-profile fixtures between well-known franchises, but even these can carry margins north of 5-6% at less competitive books. Comparing vig across sportsbooks becomes especially important in a league where inefficiencies in pricing are more common.
The Hundred runs for roughly four weeks in August, meaning the entire season unfolds in a compressed window. Odds tend to be sharpest during the group stage when books have accumulated a few rounds of form data and betting volume peaks. Early-season lines — particularly for the opening matches — often carry the widest margins as bookmakers hedge against uncertainty around team composition, overseas player availability, and English summer weather. Rain interruptions and Duckworth-Lewis-Stern adjustments are genuine factors at English grounds, and bettors should monitor forecasts closely. Home-ground familiarity matters less than in longer formats, but pitch conditions at venues like The Oval versus Headingley create meaningful tactical differences that sharper odds models will account for.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best The Hundred lines today?
The table below shows which sportsbook has the best available price on each side of every upcoming The Hundred event. Line shopping across multiple books can save you 1–3% per bet compared to sticking with a single sportsbook.
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.
