The Swiss Super League offers a distinctive betting landscape shaped by a compact ten-team format, a relegation playoff system, and a split-season structure where the league divides into championship and relegation groups after 18 rounds. Scoring tends to sit in the moderate range, typically averaging between 2.5 and 3.0 goals per match, though the gap between dominant sides like Young Boys and Basel and the rest of the table can produce lopsided results that skew averages. Market depth is narrower than the top five European leagues — bettors will consistently find moneyline, over/under, and Asian handicap lines, but prop markets and player-level bets are thinner and may only appear at select books. That relative obscurity can work in a sharp bettor's favor, as pricing inefficiencies are more common in lower-profile leagues where bookmakers invest less modeling effort.
Vig on Swiss Super League matches tends to run wider than on Premier League or Bundesliga fixtures, often sitting in the 5–7% range on three-way moneylines at less competitive sportsbooks. Because fewer books price these markets aggressively, the spread between the sharpest and softest lines can be significant — making vig comparison particularly valuable here. Margins tend to tighten slightly for marquee fixtures involving Young Boys, Basel, or Zürich, where handle volume is higher and books compete more directly for action. Early-season matches and mid-table clashes, by contrast, often carry the widest juice.
The season runs from late July through late May, with a winter break typically spanning mid-December to late January. The period immediately after the winter break often produces volatile results and softer lines, as fitness levels vary and teams adjust to cold, sometimes snowy or icy pitch conditions — particularly at higher-altitude venues like Bern's Wankdorf or St. Gallen's Kybunpark. Home-field advantage is a meaningful factor, with Swiss clubs historically performing noticeably better at home, partly driven by artificial turf surfaces used by several clubs, which can disrupt visiting sides unfamiliar with the bounce and pace. Injuries to key players matter disproportionately in a league where squad depth drops off sharply outside the top two or three clubs, making team news an essential pre-bet checkpoint.
↑ 7-day trend: Swiss Superleague average vig has worsened by 0.13 percentage points over the past week (from 7.25% to 7.39%). Odds margins are widening, meaning bettors are getting less value per wager.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which sportsbook has the lowest Swiss Superleague vig?
Pinnacle currently has the lowest vig at 4.38%, earning a grade of B.
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.
