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.

UEFA Euro Qualification operates on a distinct two-year cycle that shapes the betting landscape in unique ways. The qualification phase typically runs from March through November in odd-numbered years, with matches concentrated in international windows during March, June, September, October, and November. Playoff matches occur in March of even-numbered years, determining the final qualifying spots for the tournament held in summer. Sportsbooks begin posting qualification group winner odds and tournament outright futures as early as December following the previous tournament, with lines becoming widely available once UEFA conducts the qualification draw in January or February.

The extended qualification period creates distinctive betting opportunities that differ significantly from club football markets. Group winner futures offer consistent value throughout the cycle, particularly for second-tier nations in weaker groups where odds can shift dramatically based on head-to-head results. Qualification yes/no props for individual nations become especially liquid, with books offering enhanced odds during international breaks. Top scorer markets for the qualification phase attract significant action, while playoff qualification futures provide additional wagering angles for nations finishing in second or third place positions.

Vig patterns in Euro qualification betting follow predictable seasonal trends tied to match scheduling and information flow. Books typically offer their loosest margins on group winner and qualification futures during the initial months following the draw, before squad announcements and early results provide clarity. The highest value windows often occur immediately after disappointing results for favored nations, when public money creates temporary line distortions. Major odds movements stem from managerial changes between international windows, injury news to star players, and particularly from Nations League results that can influence playoff seeding and overall team momentum heading into qualification campaigns.

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.
