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 WTA Dubai Championships operates within a compressed tournament window each February, typically running for one week in the middle of the month as part of the Middle East swing following the Australian Open. Unlike season-long sports, this WTA 1000 event generates betting interest primarily in the 2-3 weeks leading up to the tournament, with opening odds usually appearing in late January once the entry list is finalized. The tournament's positioning immediately after the Australian Open creates unique dynamics, as players' form from Melbourne directly influences Dubai market pricing, while the quick turnaround between hard court events often leads to late withdrawals that dramatically shift the betting landscape.

Off-season betting opportunities for Dubai center heavily on outright winner markets and head-to-head matchups once the draw is released. Given the tournament's elite field requirements as a WTA 1000 event, early winner odds typically favor recent Grand Slam performers and top-10 players, though the post-Australian Open scheduling creates value opportunities on players who performed well in Melbourne but may be overlooked due to fatigue concerns. Quarter and semifinal finish props become particularly valuable given the tournament's strong depth, while first-round upset specials often provide betting value due to the compressed schedule and potential travel fatigue affecting seeded players.

Vig patterns in Dubai betting markets tend to be tightest during the initial odds release in late January, when sportsbooks have limited information about player fitness and form following the Australian Open. The most favorable betting windows typically emerge 48-72 hours before the tournament begins, when late withdrawals and practice session reports create line movement opportunities. Historical odds movements in Dubai are most significantly driven by Australian Open results, player withdrawal announcements, and injury reports from the preceding week's tournaments in Thailand or Qatar, with weather conditions in Dubai rarely affecting play due to the indoor hard court venue.

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.
