Pinnacle leads with 2.73% vig (A), followed by BetOnline.ag at 3.71%. The spread between #1 and #11 is 7.30% — book choice matters significantly for UEFA Europa Conference League.
The UEFA Europa Conference League, UEFA's third-tier club competition, occupies a distinctive niche in the football betting landscape. Launched in 2021-22, it features a wide disparity in squad quality — from mid-table teams in Europe's top five leagues to champions of smaller federations like Luxembourg, Armenia, or the Faroe Islands. This talent gap produces lopsided group-stage matches and, consequently, heavy favorites with short odds, which can compress value on the moneyline. However, the competition also generates frequent upsets in later rounds as underdogs gain confidence and tactical cohesion through the tournament. Goal totals tend to run higher than in the Champions League or Europa League during the qualifying and group phases, largely because weaker defensive sides are exposed against technically superior opponents.
Vig on Conference League matches tends to run wider than on marquee Champions League fixtures. Sportsbooks invest less in sharp line-setting for lower-profile matches, and thinner public betting volume means books have less incentive to tighten margins to attract action. This is especially pronounced during the qualifying rounds (July through August), where information asymmetry is significant — bookmakers may know relatively little about a semi-professional Icelandic side, and they protect themselves with wider margins. As the competition reaches the knockout rounds and higher-profile clubs remain, margins generally tighten and lines sharpen, offering bettors better value from a vig perspective.
The competition runs from mid-July qualifiers through a late-May final, with group-stage matches concentrated on Thursdays from September to December and knockout rounds spanning February to May. Key factors influencing odds include squad rotation — managers of clubs competing domestically often rest key players in group-stage matches they view as lower priority — and home/away dynamics, which matter considerably when smaller clubs host games on artificial pitches or in intimidating, compact stadiums. Travel fatigue is another real factor; teams crossing multiple time zones for away legs in eastern or northern Europe can underperform. Monitoring confirmed lineups, which typically drop an hour before kickoff, is one of the most reliable edges available in this competition.

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.
