ATP Wimbledon presents a distinctive betting landscape shaped by its grass-court surface, which remains the most specialized playing environment in professional tennis. The low bounce and fast pace of grass heavily favor big servers and aggressive net players, creating a surface-specific hierarchy that often diverges from hardcourt or clay rankings. This makes Wimbledon one of the more predictable majors in terms of stylistic matchup analysis, but it also produces more upsets in early rounds when lesser-known grass-court specialists face higher-ranked players who lack comfort on the surface. Match betting, set betting, total games, and first-set winner markets all carry meaningful depth, and the five-set format for men adds layers of complexity around fitness, momentum shifts, and the absence of a fifth-set tiebreak until 12-12.
Vig on Wimbledon match markets tends to be tighter than on lower-tier ATP events, largely because of the volume of betting handle the tournament attracts. Sportsbooks compete aggressively for action during Grand Slams, which compresses margins — particularly on marquee matches involving top-seeded players. However, early-round matches featuring qualifiers or lower-ranked players often carry wider margins, as books price in additional uncertainty and face thinner market liquidity. Comparing vig across books during Wimbledon's first few days versus the second week can reveal meaningful differences in value.
The tournament runs across two weeks in late June and early July, and odds markets typically sharpen as the draw progresses and more match data on current grass-court form becomes available. The brief grass-court season — essentially just three to four weeks of lead-in events like Queen's Club, Halle, and 's-Hertogenbosch — means pre-tournament odds can be somewhat inefficient, as books rely heavily on overall rankings rather than surface-specific recent performance. Weather is a genuine factor at Wimbledon: rain delays disrupt momentum and can shift the complexion of a match, though the Centre Court roof has reduced this variable for featured matches. Bettors should also monitor injury reports closely, as the transition from clay to grass in a compressed timeframe frequently produces soft-tissue injuries that may not be fully reflected in the odds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which sportsbook has the lowest ATP Wimbledon vig?
Pinnacle currently has the lowest vig at 2.69%, earning a grade of A.
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.
