888sport is a fully regulated sportsbook operating under the umbrella of 888 Holdings, a publicly traded company with deep roots in online gaming dating back to the early 2000s. In the US market, 888sport holds licenses in select states and has historically partnered with established casino brands to gain market access. Its global pedigree lends it credibility, though its American footprint remains modest compared to heavyweights like FanDuel, DraftKings, and BetMGM. The book is firmly oriented toward recreational bettors — sharp action and high-limit players will generally find tighter restrictions and lower ceilings than they would at books with more tolerance for professional volume.
Where 888sport holds its own is in the simplicity and cleanliness of its betting interface. The platform is straightforward, avoids overwhelming users with excessive prop markets, and provides a relatively smooth experience for standard pregame and live betting across major US sports. Promotions tend to be competitive for new users, often matching or exceeding what mid-tier books offer. On the downside, 888sport's odds are rarely the sharpest in the market. Bettors who consistently line-shop will find that its pricing trails behind the most competitive options on many lines, particularly in NFL and NBA sides and totals. The depth of alternate lines, player props, and niche markets also lags behind the larger operators.
888sport is best suited for casual bettors who value a clean, no-nonsense platform and don't prioritize squeezing out every half-point of edge on their lines. It's a reliable, regulated option backed by a publicly accountable parent company, which provides a baseline of trust around deposits, withdrawals, and data security. For serious bettors focused on long-term profitability, however, it works better as a secondary book for comparison than as a primary outlet.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 888sport's average vig?
888sport has an overall average vig of 9.31%, earning a grade of D-. They cover 28 sports.
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.
