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 Qatar Open occupies a strategic position in the tennis calendar, typically held in late February as part of the Middle East swing that bridges the Australian Open and the clay court season. This Premier-level tournament serves as crucial preparation for Indian Wells and Miami, with main draw action usually spanning five days in the final week of February. Unlike team sports with extended seasons, tennis futures markets for individual tournaments like Qatar emerge approximately 6-8 weeks prior, with early odds appearing in mid-January as players finalize their schedules and the entry list crystallizes.

Off-season betting opportunities for the Qatar Open center on tournament winner futures, with particular value in backing players coming off strong Australian Open showings or those historically successful on hard courts in windy conditions. Set betting markets and first-round eliminations become available once the draw is released, typically 3-4 days before play begins. Quarter and semifinal futures offer additional angles, especially for players with favorable draw positioning. The tournament's unique timing creates opportunities in head-to-head season series bets, as Qatar often provides early indicators for rivalries that will develop throughout the year.

Vig patterns for Qatar Open futures tend to be widest in early January when uncertainty around player schedules peaks, gradually tightening as the field solidifies. The most significant odds movements historically stem from late withdrawals due to injury or scheduling changes, particularly when top-10 players adjust their Middle East commitments. Weather delays can dramatically shift live betting dynamics, as Doha's occasional sandstorms and high winds favor certain playing styles over others. Players' performances in preceding weeks at tournaments like Adelaide and Hobart create substantial market movement, with strong showings often compressing odds by 15-20% in the final week before Qatar begins.

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.
