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.

The CONCACAF Gold Cup operates on a biennial cycle, typically held during the summer months of July, creating a unique betting calendar that differs significantly from annual tournaments. The tournament spans approximately three weeks in odd-numbered years, with group stage matches beginning in early July and the final usually scheduled for late July or early August. Unlike traditional league seasons, Gold Cup futures markets typically open 6-12 months before the tournament, with initial championship odds appearing as early as January of tournament years, following the conclusion of CONCACAF Nations League play and World Cup qualifying windows that help establish team hierarchies.

Off-season betting opportunities center heavily on outright tournament winner markets, with the United States and Mexico traditionally commanding the shortest odds despite the tournament's history of upsets. Golden Boot markets for top goalscorer present significant value, particularly given the tournament's format that can favor players from teams reaching knockout rounds over pure goal-scoring ability. Group winner markets offer sharp bettors opportunities to capitalize on scheduling advantages and team rotation policies, as established nations often rest key players during group play. Qualification-based props also emerge as regional qualifying tournaments conclude, with markets on which teams will secure the final confederation spots.

Vig patterns in Gold Cup betting typically begin with wider margins during early futures markets, as sportsbooks account for roster uncertainty and the tournament's reputation for producing surprising results. The most significant line movements historically occur following roster announcements in May and June, when European-based players confirm availability and coaches finalize their 23-man squads. Friendly match results in the months leading up to the tournament create substantial odds shifts, particularly for teams like Canada or Jamaica whose player pools fluctuate based on dual-national commitments. The tournament's summer timing also means that odds movements often reflect players' club form from the previous European season, creating opportunities for bettors who closely track CONCACAF players' performances in MLS, Liga MX, and European leagues during the spring months.

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.
