The Hundred, the ECB's 100-ball-per-innings format launched in 2021, presents a distinctive challenge for bettors. With each bowler delivering either five or ten consecutive balls rather than traditional six-ball overs, momentum shifts arrive faster and more unpredictably than in T20 cricket. The compressed format — matches typically lasting around two and a half hours — means individual performances carry outsized weight. A single explosive innings or a tight five-ball spell can swing a match entirely. Market depth remains relatively shallow compared to established T20 leagues like the IPL or Big Bash; while match winner, top batter, and top bowler markets are standard, prop and innings-specific markets are less developed, which can work in a sharp bettor's favor when books are slower to adjust lines.
Vig on The Hundred markets tends to run wider than on higher-profile cricket competitions. The tournament features only eight teams playing 34 matches across a condensed window in July and August, meaning bookmakers have less historical data and lower betting volume to work with compared to the IPL. This uncertainty gets priced into the margins. Match winner markets often carry overrounds in the 5–8% range depending on the book, though top-tier sportsbooks with competitive cricket desks will occasionally tighten to 3–4% on marquee fixtures. Early-season matches and group-stage games between less prominent sides typically see the widest margins, while knockout rounds and the final attract sharper money and tighter lines.
Several factors demand attention when evaluating Hundred odds. English summer weather is notoriously variable — rain interruptions trigger DLS recalculations that can drastically alter in-play value. Pitch conditions vary significantly across venues, with Cardiff and The Oval historically favoring batters while Headingley and Trent Bridge offer more for seamers in overcast conditions. Squad composition matters enormously given the small roster sizes; the availability of overseas marquee players, who may arrive late from other commitments or depart early for international duty, can shift a team's odds meaningfully. Home advantage is measurable but modest — the short tournament window and neutral-venue feel of some grounds limit its impact compared to longer domestic competitions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which sportsbook has the lowest The Hundred vig?
BetOnline.ag currently has the lowest vig at 4.34%, 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 every hour, on the hour (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 average vig: A+ (under 2%) is exchange-level pricing, A (2–3%) very competitive, B+ (3–4%) above average, B (4–5%) the industry standard, C+ (5–6%) slightly below average, C (6–7%) below average, D (7–8%) high vig, D− (8–10%) very high, F (10%+) predatory.
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, BetAnything). 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 every hour, on the hour (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.
