One Day Internationals occupy a distinctive middle ground in cricket betting, blending the strategic depth of Test matches with the faster resolution of T20s. Each side's 50-over innings creates layered betting markets — match winner, top batsman, top bowler, total runs, individual innings totals, method of dismissal, and a wide range of in-play propositions. The 300-run benchmark serves as a natural fulcrum for totals betting, but pitch conditions, venue dimensions, and batting order composition can shift expected totals dramatically. Because ODIs unfold over roughly eight hours, live betting markets stay active far longer than in T20s, giving sharp bettors more opportunities to exploit shifting momentum and in-game information.
Vigorish on ODI markets varies considerably depending on the matchup and the sportsbook. Marquee bilateral series between top-ranked nations — India vs. Australia, England vs. South Africa — tend to attract heavy liquidity, which pushes margins tighter, often in the 3–5% range on match-winner lines. By contrast, tri-series fixtures, matches involving lower-ranked sides, or qualifiers for the Cricket World Cup can carry margins of 6–8% or more, as books widen their spreads to account for thinner information and lower handle. Prop and innings-specific markets almost always carry higher vig than the primary match line, so comparing across books on those secondary markets is where the most value often hides.
ODI cricket doesn't follow a single unified season. The ICC Future Tours Programme schedules bilateral series year-round, but peak betting interest — and the sharpest odds — cluster around major ICC events like the Cricket World Cup and Champions Trophy, where book competition intensifies significantly. Toss results matter more in ODIs than casual bettors realize, particularly on subcontinent pitches where dew can neutralize spin in second innings, or on green seamers in England and New Zealand where bowling first offers a measurable advantage. Weather interruptions that trigger Duckworth-Lewis-Stern recalculations can radically reshape in-play markets, and bettors who understand DLS methodology hold a genuine edge when rain delays create mispriced lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which sportsbook has the lowest One Day Internationals vig?
DraftKings currently has the lowest vig at 5.56%, earning a grade of C+.
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.
